The Transformation of Salvation: A New Beginning with Jesus

-

Salvation is a transformative experience that occurs when we open our hearts to Jesus Christ as our saviour. It is a spiritual rebirth that instantly changes the trajectory of our lives. Through Christ’s love and grace, we become new creatures and are welcomed into the fold of God’s Kingdom.

Salvation is not a result of our works, but a matter of faith. It is the presence of Christ’s life within us that brings true salvation, transcending all boundaries of religion, ethnicity, and culture. It is a personal journey that we nurture through our relationship with Jesus.

Choosing to embrace Jesus Christ as our saviour is the most significant choice we can make in life. Jesus wholly transforms our lives, replacing darkness with light, and despair with vitality. The desire to experience the kingdom of God, guided by Jesus’ love, is a profound journey worth embarking upon.

In the words of John 3:3, Jesus emphasizes that without being born again, we cannot grasp the essence of God’s kingdom. This transformation awaits us, an opportunity to bask in Jesus’ love, embrace salvation, and experience life to its fullest. Salvation is the embodiment of God’s love, a transformation that begins with Jesus and thrives in our relationship with Him.

Have you ever felt the gentle knock on the door of your heart? A whisper that beckons you to open up and receive something greater than yourself? That knock is none other than Jesus, standing at the threshold, offering salvation and the promise of new beginnings.

The choice before you is clear: will you swing open the door and welcome Him in, or will you turn away, shutting off the possibility of a transformative encounter? 

Remember, choices define our journey in life, and whether we’ll win or not. The decision to open our hearts to Jesus means choosing life—a life filled with purpose, hope, and eternal significance. It’s a beautiful concept that lies in the truth of restoration, the fact that we can find our way back to God even after straying.

The door to redemption is open wide, welcoming all who are willing to step through. It’s not a choice to be delayed, for today is the day of salvation. Embracing Jesus’ presence is not a one-time decision, but a lifelong journey towards growth, faith, and impact.

In our daily lives, it's important to consider whether we create an environment where people feel comfortable speaking the truth to us. It's also crucial to recognize who in our lives speaks the truth to us and to be open and willing to hear their voices. 

When we do hear the truth, it's important to reflect on how we respond to it. Additionally, we should also consider our response to the call to salvation and what it means to us personally. What is your response to the call to salvation?

A Replica of the First Passover

-

Acts chapter 12 tells the story of Herod's cruel acts towards the apostles. After killing James, he arrests Peter and imprisons him during the Passover festival. However, an angel of the Lord miraculously frees Peter from the prison (Acts 12:3-4). Similarly, Exodus chapter 12 recounts the first Passover, in which God liberates the Israelites from Pharaoh's harsh slavery. Peter's miraculous escape from prison is like a replica of the first Passover, where an angel delivers him. During the night, an angel of the Lord appears to Peter while he's asleep and instructs him, "Gird yourself and bind on your sandals" (Acts 12:8). Similarly, God gives the same instructions to the Israelites on the night they eat the Passover lamb: "Thus you shall eat it with your belt girded around, and your sandals on your feet" (Exodus 12:11). These powerful instructions bring about the miraculous and urgent liberation of the Israelites and Peter from bondage. It's truly

The Power of the Tongue

In the quest for a life filled with joy and the treasure of good days, one biblical wisdom implores us to master the art of speech.  “For he who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” (1 Peter 3:10-11). The tongue, though small, wields a force mightier than any weapon of mass destruction. It can ignite a wildfire of destruction or breathe life into the ashen fields of despair.  “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.” (James 3:5-6). We are all architects of our destiny, crafting the   of our lives one word at a time. Our words can be the balm that heals or the arrow that wounds the hearts of friends, neighbours, colleagues, and loved ones. We must recognize that a ‘slip of the tongue’ is not merely a misstep but a call to mindfu

Habits Vs Needs: Why Habits are not Needs.

-

Human behaviour is a complex subject that can be broken down into habits and needs. Habits are actions that we perform regularly and easily, and they can result from repeated actions or routines. These habits can be either positive or negative but are not essential to our survival. On the other hand, needs are the essential requirements for our well-being and survival. These include physiological needs like food and water, safety needs such as shelter and security, and emotional needs like love and belonging. Sometimes, we confuse habits with needs and justify indulging in bad habits as a necessity. This is a common defence mechanism that allows us to avoid responsibility and claim powerlessness in the face of change. However, we can distinguish between habits and needs by observing others who thrive without the habits we consider indispensable. This realization can be both freeing and challenging, as it invites us to reassess our behaviours and the control we believe they have over us
