HOW MUCH IS SALVATION WORTH TO YOU?

HOW MUCH IS SALVATION WORTH TO YOU?

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. Matthew 13:45-46:

The merchantman bought the pearl after selling all he had. But let’s remember Christ is the gift of life. But in order to receive the gift that only Christ can give You must allow Him full access to your life in order to transform your mind body and soul into the Character fit for the His kingdom.

And once we give it all to the Master we begin to recognize that “The gospel of Christ is a blessing that all may possess. “The poorest, as well able as the richest, for no amount of worldly wealth can secure it. It is obtained by willing obedience, by giving ourselves to Christ as His own purchased possession.

Education, even of the highest class, cannot of itself bring a man nearer to God. We cannot earn salvation, but we are to seek for it with as much interest and perseverance as though we would abandon everything in the world for it. We are to seek for the pearl of great price, but not in worldly marts or in worldly ways.

The price we are required to pay is not gold or silver, for this belongs to God. Abandon the idea that temporal or spiritual advantages will win for you salvation. God calls for your willing obedience. He asks you to give up your sins. “To him that over cometh,” Christ declares, “will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne.” Rev. 3:21. ( E, G, White Christ Object Lessons)

Our attitude should be as that of the merchantman willing to give all we own for our salvation. Remember he sold EVERYTHING, because He knew that the treasure he had found, far exceeded the value of anything he had in his possession, more then his home, his cars, his clothes. My friends this is how we must view Salvation.

The kingdom of God it must become real to us, more then anything this world and the forces of evil has to offer. I once received an E-mail of about twenty of our popular entertainers Homes. Some extending many city blocks in length. They are beautiful estates that have great value. But today my friends, I need you to focus on the kingdom of MY GOD.

His kingdom is priceless, and it far exceeds anything we could ever imagine. A kingdom OUR GOD has prepared for His Faithful Children who WILL ENDURE TILL THE END, and who’s robes have been washed with the blood of Jesus Christ. For Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 2:9

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But our Faith must tell us, that This is what OUR GOD has waiting for us if I can just stay focus and give it all to the Master. The price for our Salvation was paid at the cross.

But we all must be willing to say. My only desire, is to honor You Lord with all my HEART and SOUL. Every breath that I take Every moment I’m awake Lord I give to you. My friends in the end There will be many who are forever seeking that precious pearl that can only come from God. But they will never entirely surrender it all to the Master.

Somehow they will always find ways to stay faithful to the things of this world. They will never allow self to completely die, so that Christ can take full control. Therefore they never find out the true value of salvation, and eternal life. They will never fully conquer ungodly ambition and their love for what the world has to offer.

Never willing to follow Christ to Calvary. Only willing to get to the threshold of the promise land, but not willing to do what it takes to cross over. As Heirs to Gods kingdom we must maintain A real passion to claim our new found treasure. John tells us in Revelation 21:7 “The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

And when we know the value of what we have as heirs to the kingdom of God, We must never keep it hidden BUT LET IT SHINE!! spread the good news and tell everyone I have found A treasure that no man can place A value on and it is Called JESUS CHRIST and you can tell the world our God has made A promise to all who stays focused.

That  one day OUR GOD will choose those who are poor in the world and rich in faith to be heirs of His kingdom. This my friends He has promised to those who love him and keep His commandments.

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
