Peace With God
Romans 5:1-2

When you talk about your salvation, how many times do you use the word “I”? You might say, “When I came to Christ . . .” or “When I asked Jesus into my heart . . .” for example. Or, depending on your church tradition, you may recall, “When I walked down the aisle in church that day . . .” Of course, since you are reciting your own testimony, there is nothing explicitly wrong with these statements. However, you should stop for a moment and consider the emphasis you place on yourself rather than on God.

Phrases like those mentioned above can give a false impression. In a sense, they lead people to believe that your salvation experience was a type of “meeting in the middle,” whereby you met God halfway. In this scenario, both you and God played equal parts; He did His job and you did your job, with the result being your salvation.

What a tragic lie this is! God did not leave His saving work unfinished, and He did not stop halfway. You see, Christ was not standing at some distant point, waiting for you to catch up to Him. Rather, He was at your side, moment by moment, just waiting for you to see Him.

Your salvation was God’s work, God’s desire, and God’s initiative. He brought eternal life with Him; everything you would ever need was delivered neatly at your feet. When you tell others about Him, be sure to keep the focus where it should be: on Christ, the architect, instigator, workman, and deliverer of your redemption.

Thank you for welcoming me. Your prayers are much appreciated, I agree it is an honor to pray for others and a favor I will gladly return.

I'm sorry for the delay in replying to you, my PC has been very uncooperative since Friday.

Blessings to you.
