Prayer for the Saints

Ephesians 1:15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Salvation

So I was thinking today about your salvation. How do you hold it, how does it hold you? If you are saved is that something that was accomplished in the past when you prayed a prayer or is it something you live out everyday. How you view your salvation can be very telling as to how you live the "Christian Life". Some things to ponder- are you growing in Holiness by keeping your eyes on Jesus or are you trying to do better by trying not to sin? Do you compare yourself to others around you or do you examine yourself by the word of God? Only you know these things, and of course so does the Father. If your salvation is real...what were you saved from? Were you saved from Hell? How about from a bad attitude, stealing, lying, arrogance and pride? If you have been saved do you know anyone who needs to be saved? If you by the mercies and grace of Jesus Christ have escaped judgment and wrath....are you concerned for anyone else? Or is that only for the "called"? When you think of your neighbor do you sweat with fear over their eternal fate or do you complain because their dog got out the gate? How do you hold your salvation...with pride or are you humble as a servant willing to go to death for the lost, blind people around you? Only you know......and the Father.
