A person is not saved because they go to church.

A person is not saved because they read their Bible.

A person is not saved because they speak in tongues.

A person is not saved because they pray all day.

A person is not saved because they give their tithes and offering in church.

A person is not saved because they don’t get intoxicated.

A person is not saved because they abstain from sexual immorality.

 

A person is only saved when they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. A person is saved if a person declares with their mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9). The things that were previously mentioned are simply what saved people do.

 

For example, a professional football player works out, eats right, studies film, and gets much needed rest. Just because an average person works out and eats right doesn’t make them a professional football player. Only a professional contract with a team makes them a professional football player.

 

As time goes on a saved person will learn to do the things saved people do but, it’s a day by day process.

So…

For those who are newly saved, don’t stress yourselves out trying to do everything on the list above in one week. Everyday make an effort to do God’s will: )

AND

For those who are already saved, don’t criticize/judge others who are not “acting like Christians” in your mind because we are all still a work in progress.

 

Be Blessed!
