HOW I AM SAVED: BY GRACE, THROUGH FAITH, IN CHRIST, GLORY TO GOD. I am not able to save myself. God saves.
BIBLE is my Rule of Life: NKJV or RSV2CE
The Word of God
The Word says God is choosing a people to be His special possession. He wants to deliver us to a good life free from the destruction of sin. He loves His creation and sin destroys His creation.
Jesus loves me and has completed salvation. If I let Him give me Grace I can be changed to live IN, WITH, and THROUGH Him; who is my Righteousness, Sanctification, Redemption, and Eternal Salvation.
I cannot earn salvation by work but I do have to surrender to grace to obey because of the faith in who He is and what He promises. I am saved By Grace through Faith in the God Man Jesus and what He promises all for His Glory.
BY GRACE (God’s Part)
God offers Grace
- to love Him with my whole heart, soul, mind, & strength
- to love others as I love myself for His sake and Glory
- to reject the world, flesh, & devil
- to want his commands and will
- to give me power to obey and conform my life to His will and commands
- to let Jesus be my Savior and not look to myself to meet my needs and desires (I am not to play God and try and control, I am to accept what God wants to give me as pure gift)
THROUGH FAITH (My Part if I say Yes to Grace)
A free submission of my will to God.
Entrusting my whole self entirely to God.
Assenting to all He has revealed because He is Truth itself.
IN CHRIST
Living IN WITH AND THROUGH Jesus, who is my everything. I must cultivate my relationship by listening to Him and asking for the Grace and Faith to be what He made me to be.
GLORY
Glory to God: The ultimate purpose of salvation and all of life is to bring glory to God, as He is the source of all.
PRAYER
Prayer is how I am being the presence of God. I must learn to have silence and specific times of it, to cultivate presence.
Cling to RELATIONSHIP IN CHRIST and WORD of God!
No more living through the church or saints. I must cling to the Almighty and what THE WORD says. I AM RESPONSIBLE TO GOD FIRST!! Catholic teach tradition and dabble in the Word. I need to KNOW Christ and that comes through knowing scripture. Tradition is fine but I am weak and need more protein food not side dishes.
