Fear in Faith

I believe that there is nothing more valuable in this world than the assurance of our soul’s salvation.
It was not, it is not and it will not be easy to fight the good fight and keep the faith. But God’s divine mercy has always found me.

What is the secret behind attaining and keeping your salvation?
Obedience to the Word of God.
This cost me to sacrifice the sins of my youth. It cost me to sacrifice idolizing my mother, forgive my oppressors, run away from the wrong crowd, suffer injustices without being able to do anything about it...

During this long journey, I have carried my sacrificial cross on a daily basis.
It was hard, but never beyond my limits. Especially, since my salvation has always been the most important thing in my life.
I took no shortcuts or breaks. It was worth living through each sacrifice in order to keep my salvation.
Keeping a clean conscience and moving forward without looking back, was and has been key in building the foundation of my faith.

Like an evil spirit, sin haunts its victim causing him to become discouraged and eventually disobeying.
I have learned that whoever we obey is our master.
If we obey sin, it becomes our master and an obstacle blocking God’s promises.
If we obey the Word of God, then Jesus is our Lord and all His promises shall come upon you and overtake you. Deuteronomy 28.2

I have learned that faith in God has nothing to do with emotions. It can be summed up into the obedience of His Word.
In conclusion, by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I have found a priceless pearl, a hidden treasure and have achieved my salvation.
But it will only be definitely mine if I remain in the faith until death.
