    The Aspects Of Authentic Salvation

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 8, 2023
     | 1,248 views

    Salvation does not originate with us. We cannot redeem ourselves because our sinful nature does not want to acknowledge that God alone is the Author and Provider of our salvation as written in the Scriptures.

    The Scriptures make it abundantly clear that we are given a set amount of time on this earth, and then face the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). No one, from prince to pauper, will be exempt. We will all give an account of our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 12:13-21; John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why God places certain people in your life or calls you to a specific task? Some callings are meant to fulfill a specific purpose, others to last only for a season, and a few are designed to span a lifetime—all serving God’s greater plan for His kingdom.

    Some for a REASON, some for a SEASON, and some for a LIFETIME The concept that “God calls some into a specific ministry for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime” reflects the biblical understanding of the variety, purpose, and timing of God’s callings. Throughout Scripture, we see ...read more
