Trust God’s saving and keeping power

‘Kept by the power of God through faith for salvation.’
1 Peter 1:5 NKJV

1. If our salvation is assured when we place our trust in Christ, might not some people take advantage of this assurance? Yes, they might, for a time. But as grace goes deep & as God’s love and kindness sink in, they change. Grace fosters obedience. ‘The grace of God has appeared

2...that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness & worldly passions & to live self-controlled, upright & godly lives in this present age’ (Titus 2:11-12). God’s grace does more than comfort you in your troubles; it convicts u in your disobedience.

3. Let it convict you. If you ever catch yourself thinking, ‘I can do whatever I want because God will forgive me,’ then grace isn’t happening to you. Selfishness, perhaps. Arrogance, for sure. But grace? No. Grace creates a resolve to do good, not permission to do bad.

4. And one more thought. Look to Christ for your beginning & ending. He’s Alpha & Omega. He will hold you, and He will hold on to the ones you love. Do you've a prodigal son or daughter? Do you long for your spouse to come to God? Do you have a friend whose faith has grown cold?

5. God wants them back more than you do. Keep praying, and don’t give up. The truth is, we don’t always know if someone has trusted God’s grace. A person may have feigned belief but not meant it. It’s not ours to know. But we do know this: where there is genuine conversion, grace

6... never stops working. So today, trust God’s saving and keeping power.
