November 17th, 2009 Jesus Christ: The Author Of Our Salvation
The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob; the God of the Hebrews (Yahweh/Jehovah), is a God of Love (1John 4:8); a God that is merciful (Deuteronomy 4:31); a God that is long suffering (Psalms 86:15), and a God that is quick to forgive (Daniel 9:9). When we refuse to surrender to the will of God and instead, we follow our own dreams and inclinations; we soon come to the realization that we are still unfulfilled and restless in our soul.
In defiance we continually strive to set and reach even loftier goals than before but our madness only ends in more madness, and we are left with an emptiness that we cannot fill; a void that is deep and troubling—a voice screaming out from within for help.
Yes, it is true that God allows us to choose our own path and make our own decisions, but we are warned that choosing a path that is contrary to God’s will can cost you your life–both physically and spiritually. Sure, you can follow Frank Sinatra’s hit song “I did it my way”, but look at the cost. Your Life! Being arrogant and presumptuous will cause you to lose the free gift of salvation that God has made available to all of mankind.Read “Jesus, The Author Of Our Salvation”
