Salvation is not a Commodity - You cannot own or lose it


Salvation is not a commodity, it is not something that you can buy, it is not just a gift, something that somebody can give to you. It is not something that you can own and that you can lose. Salvation is knowing God the Father through your relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not a part time thing. Salvation is your relationship with Jesus, day by day and if you don’t have a relationship with JESUS, if He is not your Lord and your Master, if He is not your Life, then you don’t have salvation.
Salvation is being in that close relationship with Jesus, serving Him as Lord and Master. You have to become a SERVANT of the KING of the Kingdom of Heaven and that is Jesus Christ. Your relationship with Jesus depends on your obedience to Him. He said: Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord and you do not what I say. He said: The one who loves Me is the one who keeps My Words and Me and My Father will come and live with him and I will reveal Myself to him. He also said that if any man denies Me in front of this wicked generation I will deny him before My Heavenly Father.
How is our relationship with Jesus? Our relationship with Jesus cannot be a part time thing. Jesus said:  "Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and come here follow Me." He gives His Holy Spirit to live in those who have decided to follow Him. They obey Him and therefore He comes and lives in them. They know His voice and they follow Him. They live their lives to please Him. Salvation is that close relationship with the Savior. It is not Bible study, it is not going to church, it is not a part time thing that you do on certain days of the week. Either you are following Jesus every day and you are in close relationship with Him or you don’t have salvation because you don’t have Jesus.
Do you have Jesus? How is your relationship with Jesus? Are you walking with Him every day?  Does His Spirit live in you and do you live to please Jesus? If you still have a problem with sin and other distractions, other things that you love more than Jesus, your TV, your friends. Then there is something wrong with your relationship and your salvation is not secure. How is your relationship with Jesus? How close are you with the King?
May Jesus bless you.
