Jesus our life ship...

Acts 27:31 NKJV

Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”

******
† Shalom †......! Day #106. Do you know that unless you remain in Jesus, you cannot be saved? Let us pray. Father,  You are our Rock of salvation that cannot be moved. As we live in You, help us to work out our salvation in fear and trembling that we may not lose our salvation. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

I think I have shared this verse once but this time around I have received a new revelation from this same verse. On board the ship were people of same race and nationality as Paul. The ship was going through some rough time on the sea. Paul warned them "unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved". Because earlier none of them took heed of his warning. So now whether they like it or not, they must obey what he says. In another context I see that there's a deep cry for the people on board to be saved, to return to God, to be healed and restored. And Paul is bringing them back to God.  In the later part of this story, they were shipwrecked and no lives were lost.

Let me put it this way... Our life Ship, or Life Jacket is JESUS CHRIST, if you don't abide in Him and does not live according to His ways, plans, purposes, His statutes,  for sure you going to have a shipwrecked situation in your life. There's this false teaching or understanding is circulating and they teach that "once we are saved, forever saved" is actually wrong. Paul says work our you salvation in fear and trembling.  And again Paul reminds them that outside of Jesus there's no salvation. It is in Jesus there's salvation and everything you need. Without Jesus we are nothing. We cannot find this Salvation from some kind of witch doctors, magician and so on. It is only in Jesus there's salvation for our soul's. God bless you...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
