For The Glory of God

About myself….. My desire is to Honor GOD. To strive to “walk by faith and not by sight”. To give him glory for everything, because he is worthy of it, and to not be too quick to fall into temptations or trials. God has blessed me in so many ways that all i can do is praise him. He’s given me salvation that is SOOOOO undeserving and have saved me from the wrath that we all deserve. PRAISE GOD. I know that it wasen’t nothing i’ve done it was all God and his grace that was give so graciously. and i thank him for that. ”for by grace you are saved so that no man may boast”
 
“MAY THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN RECEIVE THE REWARD FOR HIS SUFFERING

Salvation dosen’t mean walking as asil or saying a prayer. Most people think this and it’s not biblical at all. No where in the bible does it say if you say this pray you will achive salvation. NO, But it does say, ” Repent and belive the gospel” Salvation can’t be earned. ITS FREE. “by grace you are saved so that no man may boast”

God has been so gracious to me over the past 6 or 7 months.  I can say with great confidence that God had a major role in it. When God saved me by his grace through my repentance and faith he not only gave me a new life he made me realize that the reason for being is for his own glory. I thank God for the godly desires he has given me. Wanting to read his word in my spare time, wanting others to be saved and share the true joy that God has given me, and just recently the desire to pray more. Pray for others to come to Christ, pray to give him glory, or just to talk to him in general asking for his help thourghout the day to keep his word in my heat that i might not sin against him.

Before he gave me this undeserving salvation that no one deserves I had no intention of knowing God. I think inside of me I knew there was a heaven and a hell but I just really didn’t care. I went to church maby once every 3 or 4 months before God drew me to friendship baptist, but I didn’t care about going to church because it was to hear God’s word, it was only because one of my buddys aske me to, not because of GOD.

When I started going to friendship I wasen’t sure what God had planned for me, or why. But somthing inside of me knew that this is what he wanted. The youth group was going through a series of sermons on repentance. After the first time I went I was just puzzeled, not really understanding what the pastor was saying but I knew this is what I needed. Then after continuing to go on wednesday nights I realized the more I wanted to know about this God, and the more question I had, but just wasen’t sure how to comprehend all this. The more questions I had the more interesting the subject of God became to me. I wanted to understand, but I just coulden’t, but now I know why. I was trying to do it all on my own. Not relying on God for anything, I just wonted to do it all on my own, and God made it pretty clear to me that’s what it was. I just need to give it up all to him and thats what I did. Throughout my walk of faith my pastor has answered any of the questions I had helping me along the way. I praise God for him, and his brother.

Now as I look back and see how far I’ve come, and to have assurance of where I’ll be after death I know he’s changed me so much. Showing me how much sin I really do have in my life and how important it is to repent for it, giving me a godly sorrow over my sin.  He has giving me new desires. He’s giving me a new outlook of this world and I praise God for that. The most I praise God for is my salvation and understanding what it really is. There are so many pastors giving the wrong doctorin and leading so many astray thinking that they are really saved, that if they would just read his word they will understand what true salvation is.GODLY SORROW OVER SIN WHICH LEADS TO REPENTANCE AND OBEIDANTFAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.

Now I can’t say that im perfect and that I changed in one day. NO! Im very far from perfect, and that’s why I think  God set the bar for his perfection so high that we will give him glory out of our strivation to reach it. tho we never will untill we recive our new bodies he will give us when we are judged. God changed me I didn’t change. Through the holy spirit leading me to scripture and convicting me he showed me how to live a godly life, and I can’t always say that I need Jesus, when I get cought up in worldly things sometimes I want to lean away from him instead of toward him. I pray that he will snatch away all the worldly things these worldly cruches and teach me to lean on him for everything and not just some things. I praise God that he started me out with sound doctrin and not false that I might have to go through a false conversion.
