My Time With Jesus Tuesday

True Faith Not Easy

Romans 10:17, So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

Today may be a surprise to you. You will find out the whole story about what happens when you are saved. For starters, accepting Jesus as your personal Savior and repenting of your sins, is just the beginning.

I am not saying you have to do certain things or you will lose salvation. If you accept Jesus and forgiveness with all your heart, you will not lose salvation. I am saying that in order to grow in your faith it takes time, persistence, and work.

God has a purpose for each of us. We get to know His purpose for us, by building a relationship with Him. One of the things we must do is to get to know Him through His Word.

Matthew 7: 7, Ask, and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find, knock, and it will be open to you. 

If we don't know who God is, or what He expects and requires of us, how can we grow? If we don't grow, how can we receive all of the blessings God has for us?

While it is true salvation is not earned, in order to grow in that faith it does require work. When you read the Bible, you will see that God's people suffered, had doubts, we're forgiven, and we're blessed. The heroes in the Bible probably suffered the most. That is how their faith grew.

We are living in a fallen world. Most people are under satan's thumb, and he tries every lie and trick he knows in order to get the rest of us. In a way it is a war between the people of God, and the evil one satan.

No life is a free ride. Expect obstacles, hardship, and so on. Everyday,  call on God to give you strength and victory. He will hear you and help you. Nothing is impossible for God and those who love Him. We are fighting for The Greatest Prize ever, eternity with God. His Word says we win. Read the book of Revelation.

Matthew 21:22, and whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you
