In regards to "Those who have the gift of eternal salvation are not to boast in what has been given to them (Eph 2:1-10) but to boast only in the cross which saves (Gal 6:14). Carnal Christianity is built around the thought that we have inherited what we wanted (eternal life), and all we needed to do is say a sinnerâ??s prayer and we have obtained the wonderful gifts of faith (Eph 2:8), repentance (2 Tim 2:25), justification (Rom 5:1), election (Eph 1:4-11), adoption (Gal 4:5), and I could go on. That is not what Christ declared to be enough, to obtain the inheritance you will prove your inheritance through spiritual fruit (Mat 3:8, 7:17; Col 1:10) and by following the commands of God (Gen 26:5; Lev 26:14-16; Psalm 119:35; John 14:15; 1 Cor 7:19)." My pastor made a comment about heaven yesterday in his sermon. It seems today that many "Christians" place the emphasis on how to die rather than how to live. People have been asked the famous, "If you were to die tonight" question and out of fear supposedly give their lives to Jesus. Of course no one wants to go to hell! No one in their right mind would answer a yes to that. Perhaps this plays a part in why there are more "Christians" rather than Christians. I think it is time people begin to preach the Gospel again... about how to surrender and live in Christ as well as what that actually means. Grace and peace... Also, read my comment in regards to yours on my October 5th post and let me know what you think.
