This is the beginning of a journey I would like to share with all of you who decide to follow this blog. I am a Christian and I want to live my life For God Alone. You may get tired of me talking about that but it is a theme I have forgotten for a little while, I am ashamed to say. It should be the only theme for a Christians life. We shouldn't be worried about what other people think, only what God thinks. After all, He is the one who died on the cross for our sins, the One who was in the tomb for three days, and the One who rose again on that third day! Praise the Lord! Now He is preparing a place for all who will accept His free gift of salvation. I accepted that gift a few years ago and I can tell you it was the best decision I ever made. I'm not saying my life has been easy or that it will be a walk in the park in the future. But I do know that God is with me each step of the way and He will never forsake me.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 (KJV)
If you have never asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins and asked Him to save you, today is the day of salvation! He will change your life for the better! You may think your life couldn't get any better. But I am here to tell you, it can!
I want to share with you the story of my salvation. I grew up in a Christian home and I was at church every service. I loved going to church, memorizing verses, and being a happy little girl who loved Jesus. I thought I was saved for a long time. I had gone to the altar and prayed but I never really got saved. I was doing it for show and because it was what was expected of me. It wasn't until everything in my life was crashing down around me-my family, my church, my dreams-that I realized I couldn't live my life without Christ. I knew I was a sinner and that God had sent His only son to cross for me. I asked Him to forgive me and save me. And what a night that was! I had been a fake Christian for so long but at that moment I knew that when I died I would see my Lord and Saviour. I am so thankful that God was patient with me. And I know that no matter what I do I can never lose that salvation. Nothing I do will help me keep it or allow me to lose it.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8,9
If you are searching for an answer to your problems, I pray that you will look to God. He is the only answer to anything we face.
May God bless you and guide you,
Linda
