Our salvation is not the results of our good deeds but solely based on the good will of God our father, through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus and by the gracious revelation of that truth to us by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus gave himself as a sacrifice to purify you for his own possession. The outward result of your salvation should be a self-controlled life of godliness, lived for Jesus and pointing to Jesus in the midst of an ungodly culture.
It is important that our lives reflect the influence of the spirit of God working within us. We serve a holy God and we must model him well to those around us.
As a servant of Christ, what gospel do you share with those around you on a daily basis? Do they see and hear the gospel of Jesus or the gospel of “you”?
Jesus alone is the means to salvation. Jesus alone sustains you and Jesus alone enables you to live a life of godliness. Seek him daily in prayer and in scripture. Flee from unbiblical teaching. Hope only in him and fight the good fight.
True godliness comes with a contentment for Jesus. True godliness is being overwhelmed by the kind and gracious death of Jesus on the cross for our sins. If you are looking for a return on investment for your godliness, you have misunderstood the gospel of Jesus.
Prayer is vital to a loving and peaceful relationship with your wife. If prayer is not a daily and purposeful part of your marriage, you’re loving your wife poorly. Here are several ways that husbands need to step up and lead their wives well in the area of prayer.
Our relationship with Jesus should suffocate the selfish desires we nurtured from childhood and replace them with a spirit of selflessness. If you are growing in your relationship with Jesus, you should be growing in your service to others.
Training is never an easy task. It requires sacrifice, perseverance and discipline. We will not grow in godliness if we do not purposely and consistently train ourselves in the word of God.
