Are you aware of what-all is actually required to truly “accept Christ”? Believing “in the name…” means accepting “all that Jesus Christ is and does”. Have you sincerely repented and truthfully “believed” in Jesus? Are you honestly following Jesus?
Specific salvation parameters to get saved
Salvation does not require being smart, nor knowing it all, nor getting it all right. The thief on the cross was saved on the spot – while hanging there dying. But if we examine what the thief acknowledged… he got it right, and Jesus saved him on the spot. But others went away from Him without salvation. So what’s with that? What does Jesus require?
Replace simplistic rhetoric with compassion
A natural tendency is to wax and wane. Over time we can begin to be insensitive to others, and rationalize away our failures. We may be averse to honest self evaluation. We may redefine our “sin” and behavior – and negate the fact that we have actually changed.
