What does it mean to 'Have accepted Christ as Your Saviour?'
and to 'Be A Christian?'
It could mean going to and joining a church,
then at some point walking forward at an altar call and saying
the 'sinners prayer' and getting “SAVED.” While these are good things,
there can be another reason - as today’s verse shows - that one’s
actions towards God and the blessing He promises
are instead based on a wrong motive.
Like Simon in this account from the book of Acts,
the upside of this 'Getting Saved' thing for some people is more
of an agreement to obtain a supernatural type of
FIRE INSURANCE
to avoid a possible, terrible eternal fate.
For those that do, their relationship to God then is just a
Heartless Contract of Convenience rather than a
Heartfelt Commitment To Christ.
'Getting Saved' is not about avoiding hell, but being made
whole, restored, and returned into His loving perfect image that
He intended all of us to be with the added
blessings of fellowship, love and peace for all eternity.
It is not meant to be a Get-Out-Of-Hell-For-Free card
but a means of reuniting and making whole your spirit to be in the
relationship with the Father because
He desires that NONE be lost to perdition, but all to be SAVED.
(2 Peter 3:9)
What does 'Being SAVED' mean to you?
Is your heart RIGHT Towards God?
