Morning Thoughts

A walk through life toward eternity

Only worthy of salvation through Christ

“But as many as received Him,
[who believed in God’s Grace]
to them He gave the right to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name,
who were born,
not of blood
nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of man,
but of God.”

 (The Gospel According to John 1: 12-13 NASB)

It might be that we imagine salvation to be a mountain climb, one where we strain and strive to reach the peak.  We may think we must climb to reach the pinnacle, to reach the salvation we desire.  However, this is far from the Truth—We who have believed in His name—Have been born of God.

That’s right.

We who have believed in Jesus—ARE ALREADY the children of Almighty God.

  • The epitome.
  • The peak.

It has already been reached.

We are there—WE ARE HIS—GOD’S!

Even though we are surrounded by a world of people who think we must perform for God.

This is an untruth!

We have made it ALREADY to the place, ‘the mountaintop’!

Then, as we look around us, we realize, the top is not a skinny, narrow place, this mountaintop peak but instead a wide-open plateau.  &

We also realize the truth—there is plenty of space for everyone!  &

There even still remains space for all who have not yet believed in Jesus Christ as Savior.

We do not climb to the peak of our salvation.

  • We receive God’s grace (the mountaintop of life) &
  • We grow in God’s grace as we live our lives.

On this wide-open plane of GOD’S AMAZING GRACE—we walk within God’s Mercy, new to us every morning & we continually grow in God’s Grace, as we walk within each new day.

We who believe in Jesus—

  • Have already been raised up in Christ.
  • Must continue seeking the things that are above.
  • Must persistently seek to become more like Jesus.
  • Are given the gift of communication with Jesus, our Savior.
  • Have received the opportunity to lift intercessory prayers to Jesus, who is seated on the right hand of God.

We who believe in Jesus—

  • Must set our minds on the things in heaven.
  • Must not place our minds on the things here on earth.
  • Must die to ourselves each day.
  • Must remember how our lives are hidden with Christ Jesus because the Holy Spirit confirms and testifies this almighty security.

We who believe in Jesus—

  • Will see Jesus coming one day!
  • Will see Jesus—our LIFE!
  • Will see Jesus coming to rapture His church!  &
  • When we do—SEE JESUS—we will also be revealed with Jesus in glory!

Therefore, what must we be about as we walk throughout our remaining earthly days?

  • WORLD-WIDE EVANGELISM.
  • TESTIFY DAILY to the WORLD of PEOPLE WHO SURROUND US.

This is a person-to-person evangelism, sharing of JESUS with the lost.

This is a serious role BECAUSE we have the LIGHT of JESUS WITHIN US, LEADING OTHERS—

TO SEE JESUS!

We can walk, with nothing held back or hidden.

  • We should be ready to share the Gospel with anyone WILLING to listen.
  • We have been given a task (our life purpose)—to share Jesus!
  • We can find daily opportunities to fulfill this life goal.

We are only worthy of salvation through Christ.

“This is eternal life,
that they may know You,
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

(The Gospel According to John 17: 3 NASB)
