What a Christian Should Look Like
Everyone has a preconceived notion about what a Christian is. Back in my Christian college days we had a pastor speaking to us during a weekly chapel meeting. He told the students that a “real” pastor spends no less than 6 hours a day in Bible study and at least 2 or more hours in prayer. I don’t know about you, but I can barely sit still enough to pray for 20 minutes let alone 2 hours.
Working Out Your Salvation
Working out your salvation doesn’t mean you have to work for your salvation. It means that salvation is only the beginning of a lifelong journey of Spiritual Growth. When you receive the gift of salvation, you accept Jesus into your life, but you still tend to fail in sin. You’ve only allowed Jesus to come and begin to clean things up. Working out your salvation is the process of removing the sinful nature that was once your life and replacing it with Godly character and qualities.
Discovering Your Life in Christ
Did you know that God has given each of us an inheritance that goes way beyond description? He has allowed us to share in the inheritance of His Son, Jesus. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, God has adopted us into His family and elevated us to sit with Him and Jesus at His table.
Living the Gospel Without Religion
The literal translation of the gospel is Good News! As Christians, we look at the gospel as the Good News of what Jesus did for us on the cross. It is our job to share the gospel (Good News) with others so they may come to have their own relationship with Jesus. While it is important to share the good news with others the gospel is so much more that what Jesus has done for us.
The Greatest Adventure
God has given us a great adventure called life. No matter where you’re at in this adventure, God wants us to advance in our relationship with Him. He’s given us the Bible as a guide to help up get through the tough times and coast through the good. He’s provided a map to help us get the greatest benefit out of the greatest adventure.
