This Post is From The 4th Chapter of My Newly Released Christian Book
"Apprehended & Apprehending"
Chapter Title: The Fellowship of His Sufferings
.......If you truly receive Him in your heart and you immediately die
afterwards, then you are indeed saved, and at judgment time, God will judge and reward you according to His own sets Standards. Remember God is
God, He said to Moses in Exodus 33:19,
“ … For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show
compassion to anyone I choose”
It is not our place to corner Him by using the story of the
thief on the cross. Besides, the event of the thief on the cross is so much
deeper than meets the eyes.
The next big thing we should consider is that Scriptures teach
us there is no such thing as being saved and having the pause button on our
Christian life perpetually pressed until He comes. Christ had a lot of
followers who did not really believe in Him but wanted something from Him. We
also know from Scriptures that a relationship with Him is a dynamic one.
Therefore, if indeed we have received Him, we need to do the next best thing He
asks of us, which is taking up our cross and go on with Him as His follower. The choice is clear here. So, instead of examining
God, I would suggest that we learn to examine our actions, motives, and
attitudes first. It is incomprehensible to see how many professed Christians
simply dismiss some of the examples we have in the Bible as to how God will be
dealing with His own people who are not able to hold fast in the faith. In
Matthew 25:1-13, we have the story of the 5 foolish virgins who did not have
oil, which incidentally, represented the work of our faith, the faith that
keeps you going forward with Him. We also have the Parable of the Seed in Luke
8:13, and what about the Parable of the Talents and the demise of the last
servant in Matthew 25:30? Sadly most of us do not understand how important it
is to live Christianity with a spiritual balance that is found solely through an exchanged life WITH and IN Christ (1 John
3:1-3 & Colossians 3:3-4.) the exchanged life simply means that He has
become your whole life while your life is in Him. Strangely when this is known to your soul, you can see this paradox with your spiritual
eyes and it all seems so simple.
