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.
