It is important that we reiterate that you cannot do anything to earn your salvation. You are saved by grace and through faith. Jesus paid it ALL! You don’t have to work for your salvation. You can’t do enough to be forgiven. It is a debt that a human being cannot pay. There is a difference between a Christian who is forgiven and one who is actively seeking the blessing and favor of The Lord. There are over three hundred promises in the Bible that contain the word, “If”. It is the law of sewing and reaping. The word “if”, is actually contained within the word “life.” Scripture teaches us in Psalms chapter 1, that those who delight in the law of The Lord will see whatever they do prosper, but they must believe in His word and act on it, in order to see it manifested. The wise man is the one who hears the word of the Lord and does it. The foolish man hears the word and does nothing with it. It is not enough to just believe in the words of Jesus, but we must put into practice the principles of Jesus. We must cooperate with God in the earth in order to see what God has decreed in heaven. Don’t fall into the trap of spiritual paralysis. We can believe but not see anything happening in our lives unless we act on what we say we believe. If God has given us a promise, there will also be an instruction. If it is followed, in response God will do what only He can do. He will always do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond, all that we can ask or think!
