Tonight we had Bible Study. And, it's pretty much the most freaking amazing Bible Study EVER! We were talking about salvation and our process of salvation. There is the moment of salvation, when we say the prayer and repent for our sins, and there is the process of salvation we go through during our entire lives.
When we are saved we experience the goodness and kindness of the Lord. We realize, at the same time, His severity and His love. The consequences of our sin is eternal separation from Him: hell. Yet, we realize that because of His great love for us He sent Jesus to die for us. He paid the price for our sins and made a way for us to spend eternity with Him. And, to live a victorious Christian life.
Because of that taste of His goodness at salvation it puts and hunger in us for more of Him. The lukewarmness I talked about before is the people who experienced God's goodness of salvation, yet they rarely or never experience it again, for whatever reason. Most people don't because they're never taught or trained how. They're like orphans who are left to figure out how to be Christians on their own. As we see in the Bible, each Christian is supposed to be taught and trained how to walk in relationship with God. Unfortunately you see this so rarely. Most Christians probably don't know that you can experience God's presence and love every.single.day. Or, if they do they don't know how to attain it and walk in it.

Morgan - these two posts are great. You have a real gift for writing about your faith.
ReplyDeleteBut in other news, did you see you won a "Ultimate Blog Party" prize! Yeah for you! It's a neat gift too - you'll have to post a picture when you get it! Congrats!
Pleased youre getting a lot out of the study :)
ReplyDeleteYour post is wonderful but you left out the most important part; how do you walk in the lords love everyday? You left people hanging...
ReplyDeleteWhat I thought Morgan said was that new believers in the faith need mature believers to come alog side of them to teach them how to walk in the Lords love everyday. I think you can tell someone how to walk in God's love, but it is better demonstrated over time. If Morgan wrote a blog telling readers how to walk in God's love it would void everything she just said about discipleship. Yet I think she said enough when she said that salvation needs to be walked out with people who have been saved for awaile for new believers to get the exposure of what it is like to what in God's love everyday.
