...confess with your mouth, and believe in your heart...

When I accepted the free gift of salvation from my Lord, I was so relieved. Now there was an assurance of eternity. Where I had led a life of selfishness and destruction, I finally had the power to overcome my sin. Through trusting in the God who created the world, I found a new purpose. Before I was saved from myself, I didn't know what freedom was. Now, fourteen years later, I can start my days with a clean slate. There is no more guilt over the night before, no more condemnation for my thoughts and actions. My thoughts now have changed direction. My actions are intentionally helpful to others. The Lord has truly changed who I am, how I think, and what I do. As I read and study the Word, He always reveals new things to me that are relevant to my current situations. He guides my life in miraculous ways. When I put my trust in Him, He handles every situation. He's never late when I need His help, and He always cares enough to answer me. I was such a worthless person before He saved me. My heart was black with hurt and hate. The Lord picked me up from my pitiful state, washed me, wiped away my tears, and clothed me in the righteousness of Christ. To the world, I am of low stature, but He says I am a princess...a child of the most high God. I look forward to the day I can see His face and worship Him. Are you sure of your salvation today? If not, you can be. God wants you to trust Him with your life. He can use you in ways you can never imagine. You are so valuable to Him that He sent His only son to be the sacrifice for your sins. Jesus Christ was sent from heaven to live a sinless life on this earth. He was sent to die a terrible death on the cross. He did this willingly so we can share eternity with a holy God. His blood was shed for your sins and mine. To accept his sacrifice is to accept the gift of salvation. It is free for all who believe. He didn't stay in the grave. He defeated death and rose again on the third day. It is the power that raised Him from the dead that can dwell in you if you accept Him. This power is overcoming power. It will enable you to defeat the sin in your life that is keeping you in bondage. Freedom is so refreshing. Won't you let Him set you free today?
