Today's Scripture *January 8, 2009*
Luke 3:8
Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don't just say to each other, We're safe, for we are descendants of Abraham. That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.
Many of John's hearers were shocked when he said that being Abraham's decedents was not enough to ensure salvation. The religious leaders relied more on family lines than on faith for their standing with God. For them, religion was inherited. But a personal relationship with God cannot be handed down from parents to children. Everyone has to make a personal choice/decision of whether or not to trust Christ and accept Him into your heart and life. Don't rely on someone else's faith for your salvation.
Have you made that personal decision to trust Christ?
Father, we want to have our own special, unique, and personal relationship with You!
Help us to encourage others to seek Your face and to know You themselves.
It is our own personal relationship with You that saves us! Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, that we might spend eternity with You.
In Your Name, Amen..
Have a blessed day!
Your Sister in Christ,
April
