A Good Work Began

 

When I was younger, even as an adult-I often wondered if I could lose my salvation due to some sin I had committed. Sadly, I wasted a lot of time wondering that. Because I came to find out the truth at some point. Which is this:

There were times that I was mad at myself for the things I did. But..

God was never mad at me.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which Hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Philippians 1:6

His good work began in me when I was about 8 years old. And instead of being taken from me whenever I was at my worst, it has only grown to increase over the years. Not that I am perfect. 

Believe me.

As we look to the writings of the Apostle Paul, he had said that he was the chief of sinners in 1 Timothy1. But Jesus came to save sinners and because of that, he had obtained mercy.

Why would we think that Jesus, who came to shed his blood for us, take back what he laid down is life for. It had had been too costly. 

But that is why he did. So that those of us that sincerely want his forgiveness, can have it even when we do the things that make us ashamed.

For now there is NO condemnation, for those that are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1

We accuse and condemn ourselves. But who else but Satan does that as it says in Revelation 12:10. 

... for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

It is he who wants us to believe that there is no forgiveness for our sin. And that we can lose our salvation.

So Friends, don't buy into his lies. If you are blood bought as a child of the King, you have no reason to fear. 

You can't lose your salvation. It is too precious for God to take from you!

Thanks for coming by today, Friends. Have a blessed day!
