When, EXACTLY Did God Save Me?

“Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.” | 1 John 2: 7

WHEN did the Lord first begin to deal with my soul?

WHEN, exactly, did I first begin to believe?

WHEN did I actually become a Christian?

A child of God?

I gave up trying to answer those questions a long time ago, as being totally unimportant.

George Whitefield once said, “I have heard of a person who was in a company with fourteen ministers of the gospel, some of whom were very eminent servants of Christ, yet not one of them could tell the time when God first manifested himself to his soul.”

It is quite sufficient to me that, by the grace of God, I do believe in the Christ of Scripture. And as a believing sinner I continue to pray for grace to continue to believe in Christ. (Hebrews 10: 38,39)

Do You Know The Lord?

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.” | Titus 3: 5

I recently had someone ask me if I trusted in works. My first reaction was to say God forbid!

But I answered this way: Yes, I trust in works; but they are not my works.

I trust in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I trust in him and what he did for sinners like me. He did for me what I couldn’t do for myself. He worked out a perfect righteousness for me.

I trust Him and his work alone for all my salvation.

His works are now my works.

According to His Purpose

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” | Romans 8: 28

All things work together for good. If we could only learn this.

We know that it is true!

We believe that it is so!

But for some reason this FACT from God is one of the hardest things for our flesh to understand and rest in. Daily, we are confronted with things that seem so awful and unfortunate to us, but based on the Word of our God (the God who cannot lie) everything that we are faced with is PURPOSED for good!

If the Lord would settle our hearts on this, our days would be bright rather than gloomy; our hearts would be full of happiness rather than full of sorrow; and our minds would rest in the PEACE of our God’s perfect providence rather than staying torn all to pieces over the chaos of this sinful world.

If God has secured us in the blood of Christ, our eternal life in glory, AND our temporary life on earth are BOTH settled, ordered, and sure! Knowing this, every time we ask ourselves, “Why did this happen?”, we ought to immediately answer ourselves with, “For good!”

All things are for the glory of God, the furtherance of the gospel, and the salvation of men and women’s souls. All things are for the purpose of bringing God’s people to Christ.

That makes ALL THINGS “good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”

COMPLETE IN HIM

“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” | Colossians 2: 10

If someone like me is complete, I know I must be complete only in Christ.

Everything about me is incomplete.

My faith is incomplete.

My repentance is incomplete.

My enjoyment of peace is incomplete. My love is incomplete.

My experience is incomplete.

Yet I am, right now, complete in Christ.

It is not that I will be complete one day, but I am complete right now because the Lord Jesus Christ completed the work of salvation for me and in me.
