HIS STRENGTH

Helpless in your own strength but helpful in His strength. This is the gospel in a nutshell. You were a sinner, helpless and hopeless but Jesus saved you and now you are hopeful and helpful. He helps you to help others. His Spirit in you is your only hope of glory. Eternity is your lot. Can money buy eternity? This is what you have gained in Christ. Now will you sit back and relax or fight to save others who are drowning and dying daily. They are doomed for an eternity in hell while you are going to heaven. How heartless can you be? No, the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to anyone who believes. The operative word is believe. I believe and therefore I am saved. I believe that Jesus is Lord and I confess that He is risen from the dead. This belief and confession results in a assurance of salvation. God's salvation is free but it is costly to the flesh. The flesh refuses to submit to His will. It always wants its own way. This is why you detest your flesh and its longings. Now you know what it is to be free in Him. In the Spirit you are free from its fleshly longings. You are free to love and not to hate. You are free to forgive and not be bound. Lord come and be a light through me to the gentiles who are lost in darkness and helpless.
