Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)
One of the things that you should consider most precious is, your salvation. In these last days you should guard your salvation, like never before. The devil is out there deceiving people out of salvation. Hebrews 2:3 says: “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him”. This should show you that your salvation is the number one thing in your life.
No matter what you achieve in your life; it is a waste without salvation. Protect your salvation; don’t let the world and its element steal it. See that you’re walking in the light of God, in the totality of salvation. Jesus said in Mark 8:36, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
It doesn’t matter how much money you acquired, how many people talked highly of you, how many people you helped or impacted, how many places you went to, while you live on earth. What matters is your salvation; because without salvation they will mean nothing.
Don’t trade your salvation for anything. Stay in Christ, in His Word, and keep expressing His love and righteousness to your world. Remember you are here to help others receive their salvation, as you guard your own salvation.
Prayer:
Precious Father, I thank you for the wonderful gift of salvation you have given to me in Christ Jesus. I guard my salvation and refuse to return to the world. God’s love propels me to preach the Gospel and reach out in love to the lost, to turn them from darkness unto Christ. Amen.
