Don't die selfish, I am not saying make sure you die saving another, but you have a lot of people that care about you, besides the most important one God of course. And they shouldn't have to wonder if you are saved, make it a point to make sure your loved ones know you're saved and tell people you just met that you're saved. Another benefit of this is it keeps you more accountable for what you do. If you are truly saved then you would want to glorify Him with all you do. By confessing your salvation you're telling the ones around you this is how God is working in my life. I have found I am more careful with my actions when I around ones who know I am saved, it's a little reminder. [Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.] 1 Timothy 4:16
Also ask your loved ones and strangers if they are saved. Your loves one to give you comfort and peace of mind if there life is cut short, and strangers to spread the good news. I not only present you with this challenge but also myself. I have now been saved for nearly a year and got in a cycle that Christian folks are saved and that goes without saying. Most of the Christian folks are going to be saved, but it still should not go without saying. Is salvation not the greatest gift we have ever received, and do we not talk more about the money we got last Christmas or birthday, than we do salvation? Money the root of all evil is on our tongues more than salvation. In this hard economic time I would be willing to bet any earthly thing that talk of money has went up, and the talk of God, and salvation went down. Let's change that, have your personnel headlines read I AM SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD extra, extra read all about it! [Riches won’t help on the day of judgment, but right living can save you from death.] Proverbs 11:4
For those who are not saved time is not a blessing you can waste. Only He who has the grace to save has the knowledge of when you will die. Don't die to death rise to life with God.

Thank you for posting this post that is so inexuberally needed. I feel that everyone is always talking too much about their own personal belongings instead of the salvation that God has given them.
ReplyDeleteIt kind of reminds me of this inspirational movie I saw one time.
Basically, the leader of an underground religious group decides to rid the world of all it's worldly possessions so that everyone would focus on what matters the most. Fighting.
But that's besides the point. I love this post and how it really connects with everyone's life. I'm making the pact right now to tell everyone I meet that I am indeed saved.
Thank you for opening my eyes further.
Of course, I didn't mean that in any false prophet kind of way....
