1 | After Salvation, What? | Luke 9:23 | Hank | 8186 | ||
Most, if not all of us, on the forum seem to be in general agreement about what we must do to be saved. But after salvation, what obligations does the new Christian incur in his or her walk with Christ? To recaste the question, what comes after salvaton -- what do we do next? --Hank | ||||||
2 | After Salvation, What? | Luke 9:23 | stjones | 21015 | ||
Hi, Hank; I don't know if I would say any of what follows are obligations because I'm not sure we have obligations - sounds kinda legalistic to me. But I'm pretty sure(!) God would like us to always choose righteousness, to allow ourselves to be ruled by the mind of Christ within us (Jeremiah 31:33 - "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts" and 1 Corinthians 2:16 - "we have the mind of Christ.") This is the struggle Paul discussed in Romans 8:14-25. So I respectfully submit the following as examples of how we should manifest the mind of Christ controlling our lives: "We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." (1 John 2:3-6) '"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." ... "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. "All this I have spoken while still with you."' (John 14:21-25) 'A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."' (John 13:34-35) Peace and grace, Steve |
