WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP?

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:3-4 NKJV)

Accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord is not a free pass to heaven.  It is not a one and done decision.  Jesus died to save us. Our salvation begins now.  What a waste of God’s breath in inspiring the Bible, a love letter to us, and a waste of His Son’s life if we believe salvation is just an escape from hell and entrance ticket to get us through the pearly gates.  His word says that He is not willing that any should perish, but desires ALL to be saved. 

God wants  you saved.
God wants you safe.

God wants you saved.
God wants you sound…
body, mind, and spirit.

God wants you saved.
God wants you preserved.

God wants you saved.
God wants you out of dangers way.

God wants you saved.
God wants you delivered…
from death and the penalities of sin.

God wants you saved.
God wants you full of life…
possessed with vitality, active and vigorous, devoted to Him.

God wants you saved.
God wants you healed.

God wants you saved.
God wants you whole.

God wants you saved.
God wants you complete.

God wants you saved.
God wants you to know the truth.

The truth is “there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Timothy 2:5-6 NKJV)

I do not know what you are going through.  I do not know where you are in your walk with the Lord.  We all have steps to take toward Him. 

I enCOURAGE you to take your next step toward Jesus.  Accept Him as your Lord and Savior.  Begin your walk with Him.  Take your first step and follow Him.  If you have said yes to Jesus as Savior but not Lord, you have next steps to take with Him to be safe and sound.  You know it, follow Him.  Step toward Him.  If you are a devoted follower of Jesus, we all have next steps to take toward Him.  Take the next step.  Be obedient to what He has asked you to do.  It does not matter where you are on the way.  Jesus is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life.  He will instruct you and teach you where to go and how to take the next step.  Follow Him.  The LORD wants you in His kingdom!  What is your next step?  Take it.  

Talking to God about you right now.
