Now that we are saved, what should we be doing with our lives?

Now that we are saved, what do we do in response?

The Word of God gives us further confidence that we are indeed saved and guaranteed heaven.

Being saved is great cause for joy. God wants us to be glad and take heart that we are His.

Peter continues the same thought about our salvation, but now focuses on the guarantee of our salvation. One of the things many Christians worry about is whether they can so royally mess their lives up that God would take away their eternal life. Peter is here to encourage us that there is nothing that can thwart God from guarding and preserving you.

Peter writes to us to let us know that how to live for the glory of God. In his opening words, he shows us how it came to be that we are saved. The triune God is the source, the reason, for our salvation. Let Him have all honor for His miraculous work.

Jesus sets a pattern for discipling His followers. A disciple is always growing, always deepening their trust in God and friendship with God. Jesus did this with His twelve; His church likewise, does this with disciples today.

God has welcomed us into an extraordinary life, not a life like we were used to before we believed, but an adventure of faith. We often do not experience it because we are content with what we have got.

When at first, God seems unfair and unresponsive, we meditate on His character and come full circle. God is always in control. He is lovingly working out His master plan for our good. We need to respond to His character.

Habakkuk wants to know if God will punish the Babylonians for invading Judah. The answer: God is always watching; His justice will be satisfied.
