The Gift of God

The bible says in the New Testament Book of the Ephesians, "For by Grace are you saved, through faith, and NOT of yourself: it is the Gift of God, NOT of works, least any man should boast. chap. 2:8-9
Being saved is a gift from God. In the NT book of Luke, Luke tells us the that Jesus came to seek and to save that which is lost. The lost man must be saved. One may ask himself is this me??? Is it I, do I need to be saved ?? The answer is YES.  Today is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time. Now it must be done. For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.  Salvation is of the Lord, salvation is of God, it is the gift of God.  You too, can be saved. Call on him today. You'll be glad you did.

Religion 24/7/365

An interesting bumper sticker I saw today. Although, it gave a religious denomination, then said 24/7/365.  Well, I thought, Heaven will be filled with Christians, (ie. Christ like, A follower of Christ, saved and born again)  BUT, the bumper sticker made me think, do I live for Jesus 24/7/365 ??  Does the world see me living for Christ everyday (365 days) ??  The Apostle Paul told the Galatians, for me to live is CHRIST,  and He told the Philippians that he wanted to magnify Christ, meaning and realizing a magnify glass makes an object that is small very big or bigger so that you can see the object better.  And isn't this something we want to do for Jesus, everyday we live and walk before people. Maybe the bumper sticker should say "Living for Christ 24/7/365"  What an awesome responsibility.  And Can you do it??? Lord, help me to live for you, 24/7/365.

God Bless you neighbor,
