“Who is he that overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the son of God.” 1 John 5:5
When I became born again, God placed His seal of approval upon me, placing me within His hand, and nothing can ever snatch me away. He placed His Holy Spirit within me to dwell as His guarantee that when I am called home, I will have a place in His kingdom. Christ, sinless and blameless in His father’s sight, was crucified, died, and was raised from the dead, in order to make it possible for my name to never be erased from the book of Life. By His seal upon me, I have been given Gods authority to do good works that bring glory to His name. Everything I do, think, or perform is laid bare before the Father. I am by no means perfect and I fall short and fall on my face a lot, but I am so grateful that Gods Grace does not wash off and I need only get up, dust myself off, look to Him and walk forward with a desire to try again. God knows we are unworthy…that’s what Christ is for…to bridge that gap…we need only Believe!
