"Without faith it is impossible to please God" Hebrews 11:6
What is faith?
Faith is putting your trust in something or someone wholly without fault or distrust.
I believe in my Lord Jesus Christ , that He died for my sins and on the third day after that He rose again and that by having faith in him We are forgiven of our sins and receive the gift of eternal Life.
What do you put your trust in?
I put my trust in The Holy Spirit that it will tell me right from wrong in all my situations.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts , to which indeed you were called in one body ; and be thankful . Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you , with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs , singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:15-16
Some Christians are easily confused with the concept of salvation since it is presented in the Bible in past , present & future verb tenses . We need to Go back to the basics , Let's start by taking a look at what the Bible says about about salvation.
1# But because of his great love for us , God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God .
Ephesians 2:4-5,8
2# So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God , who has saved us and called us to a holy life , not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time .
2 Timothy 1:8-9
3# But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit .
Titus 3:4-5
The Bible teaches that all of us who have put our trust in Christ have experienced salvation , but we should not use this as licence to do whatever we want , The Bible teaches us that because of this gift of salvation Jesus has provided us a second chance to change our lives for the better .

This seris will be based on the devotional I am reading called free . Post #1 :
24Then Jesus said , "If anyone would come after me, he must deny
himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever wants to save his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. 26What good will
it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can
a man give in exchange for his soul? 27For the Son of Man is going to come in
his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person
according to what he has done.
Mathew 16:24-27
Have you ever wished you had control of your life , I know I have , or have you ever wished that no one could tell you what to do , or that your parents wouldn't set rules & limites on your life ?
Sometimes we think that when we get out of or move out of our parents' home , we will be in charge of our life . Think about it , the Bible is clear with us that we will always be slaves to sin & this world or to God & the true freedom that comes with that we have the choice of who we will live for , Everyone who sins is a slave to sin . John 8:34 .As you can see the Bible makes it clear that when we aren't serving God , we are serving satan .
Even so consider yourself to be dead to sin , but alive to God in Christ Jesus . their fore do not let sin reign in yourself so you won't obey it's desires , so knowing this do not let any part of your body be a slave to sin . but present your self to God without being in slaved by sin , but an instrument of righteousness to God . Romans 6:11-13

God's Gift
Sorry I have not been writing lately , I have had the most busy week ever & my computer was not working . I feel that God is really changing my life in amazing ways I have tripled my bible reading(from 2 chapters to 7 chapters) and my devotional is absolutely awesome & is touching my life , I have realized that God has gifted me with an awesome family that I should not take for granted . We think that we can just fight with the people God has put in our lives & not make time to connect with our siblings &/or parents because we think theirs always tomorrow to make up that lost time but sometimes their is not a tomorrow . We waste away the little time we do have with them , thank the Lord I realized that I was doing this very thing with the gift God had given me my brothers and parents & changed it . Their are so many broken up families in our world , I am so thankful that God Has given me an awesome loving family that helps me grow in my faith.
Something I read in my devotional was that if we are truly a follower of Christ , we grow and learn in our faith every day and every moment of our lives . That hit me , I was kind of thinking of Jesus as a free ticket to Heaven , deep down I was saying I got admission to Heaven now it does not matter what I do , but I was wrong if we do not grow in God and change our ways than we are not truly surrendered to Him and if we are not surrendered than God cannot change us. I felt down , & was not growing in my faith ? God can changed that when I let Him , He can do the same for you.
