I am so thankful that I'm not responsible for keeping my own salvation, but that I am firmly held in the double grip of my Savior's and Father's hand (John 10:28-29), and that nothing can separate me from His love (Romans 8:33-39).<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-10949524972496953362012-12-03T04:23:42.611-08:002012-12-03T04:23:42.611-08:00I really enjoyed reading this.

You cite a beautiful verse and an effective prayer! Until we reach glory we will continue to sin -- even Paul struggled with this -- but praise God that He does not demand our perfection because His Son has done it all. He rewards our direction toward Him -- a blessing indeed!<br />Love in Him,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-22943190572040286932012-11-15T20:06:59.118-08:002012-11-15T20:06:59.118-08:00I'm always blessed in my visits here.

On the issue of turning from our sin, the big sin for me was skeptical unbelief. Is that not perhaps the mother of all sins? To turn from it, I needed His help, and that prayer, "I believe, Help Thou my unbelief!" brought it! Result: not instant perfection (and sure not there yet) but a total turnaround, heading in the right direction: toward Him, more and more. So blessed to be so rescued!Sylvia Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396571481512887302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-11745533277301355562012-11-15T09:40:12.166-08:002012-11-15T09:40:12.166-08:00"Those who repent from their sins and place t..."Those who repent from their sins and place their trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15) as the only way to Heaven (John 14:6) will spend eternity with Him in glory, and those who reject this truth face eternal punishment in hell." This is truth! So often, people try to sneak in by (as the saying goes)'the skin of their teeth'. It also says in Revelations 3:16 that if we are 'lukewarm(in our faith)--neither hot nor cold--I(the Lord) am about to spit you out of my mouth.'
