Are all the people who call themselves Christians going to go to heaven?
Does believing in Jesus on one memorable occasion get you your ticket to be with Jesus forever?
Look out!
The making of Christians cost God a huge amount of pain and sorrow.
Is everybody who says ‘I do’ at the marriage altar going on to be ’happily ever after’?
Is every body who responds to an altar call a Christian?
The answer is NO. Just as marriages are supposed to be made in heaven, it implies the right chemistry is present. That which makes saying ‘I do’ a joy and a pleasure. It also makes sticking at it a reality.
If the chemistry needs to be right for a successful marriage, then the spiritual chemistry needs to be right to be saved and converted.
The bad news is that many have not yet become Christians and don’t realise or possibly even care.
The good news is that God isn’t finished with them yet. I mean whilst they are still alive.
Whats the secret then? As Billy Graham said: ‘its not when you believe, that you believe, that you believe, but its when you know, that you know, that you know, that you are God’s child , that you are saved’.
God is doing deep works in all our hearts on a daily basis. He is speaking to us everyday, through preaching, Christian friends, scriptures, songs, circumstances, answered prayers and of course the Holy Spirit tapping on the door of our hearts. his work is gentle and he leaves the choice to obey or not to us. That’s called free will.
It was so hard for God to save us. He had to see His only son Jesus die painfully on a cross so we could be forgiven our Sions and made fit for heaven. He could only do that for us because He loves us too much to let us go to hell. he wants us to be with Jesus in Heaven.
Each day, we can say ‘Yes God’, or we can kick out at God and say ‘No, not today, leave me alone’. I believe that saying ‘Yes’ to God can speed up the process by which our Heart Soul and Mind become transformed, but saying ‘No’ can have a cumulative bad effect.
All we are doing by responding rightly is saying ‘Yes’ to God. Not doing any more than that. No works can do it. if we do the ‘yes’es, God will do the work in us.
What action should you take if you are not sure about being truly saved?
Make sure that you are really His.
You know that it is really hurting you to say NO to the gentle voice of God.
Today if you hear His voice do not make your heart hard.
