When Salvation Is
A CONTRACT
Instead Of a
COMMITMENT

“When Simon, a local sorcerer of magic
Heard Simon preaching the gospel
He Became A Believer,
But after He saw the Miracles of Paul,
Offered money to also obtain that power,
But Paul said
Your Heart Is Not Right Before God.

Acts 8:9-21
(Paraphrased and shortened for brevity)

HellFireProtectionPolicy 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?
