Salvation

I'm glad God makes it easy for us to have eternal security. He says it is by grace you are saved through faith and that it does not come from your own works. It is a gift (Ephesians 2:8-9). I'm also glad we don't have to have everything figured out before choosing to believe in Jesus. My son, Aidan, made a decision last week (April 6) to pray and tell God he believes. We talked it over, prayed about it and he leans over and says, "Dad...I prayed. I believe." Done deal. You're saved and the angels rejoice, son!

I am so thankful that both my children have made decisions to give their life over to Jesus. Do they have it all figured out? No. But neither do I. And neither do you. But God is faithful. He gives us his Spirit (Acts 1:8, Ephesians 1:13) and promises that we will know him - personally. Religion accomplishes nothing. Faith can move mountains. I'm proud of you, Aidan. I hope I can lead you by example in faith to walk close to your Savior.
