Be My Savior – by Joseph A. Cortes

Ephesians 2:8 reads, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves;”

He saved me the instant I trusted in Him and what He did at Calvary. He delivered the full payment for my sins, for yours too. And He did it without any behavioral changes or promises to serve Him. Now those discipleship aspects of the relationship with Christ comes after we are born again, but the Bible never says or implies that we must follow Him in obedience first and live our lives for Him in order to be saved. To add that to what is already clearly there as the plan of Salvation is to add in your boastful works of what you can do, which is flesh that Paul preaches against in that chapter, which makes you a little personal savior. You think too much of yourself, if you’re guilty of that. You are destined for doom. God’s Word is trying to set you free. You don’t have to change first and then come to Christ. Just cry out to Jesus, I am a sinner man or woman, and there is nothing I can do to change the aspect of that. I’m going to trust and have confidence in you solely based on what you did at Calvary as was promised in the Old Testament, which was fulfilled. Be my Savior. You don’t need to say a sinner’s prayer. Instead cry out three words: Be My Savior. What are those three words based on? The death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Be My Savior.

When we trust in Christ alone as our Savior, we are seen positionally as sons and daughters of Christ. Do you realize what a wonderful privilege that is? Think about the greatest honor you could receive for your efforts in something you’re involved with in this world or would like to be involved in. That does not even compare or come close with the position we have with Jesus Christ as sons and daughters…the greatest honor. We don’t do anything for it except to have trust and confidence in Him, that the shedding of His precious blood did it all for us. Do you trust? Do you have confidence that He did do that? And if you do, then all you have to do is say, Be my Savior.

In 2 Corinthians 9:7 it reads, “God loveth a cheerful giver.” The Greek word for cheerful is Hilaros which means when someone is prompt to do something, they are ready in mind, with a joyful heart. In the Septuagint it also means to cause to shine. Today I am looking for Hilaros Givers who are ready and full of joy for the opportunity to cause others to shine by hearing, learning, and growing in God’s Word.

Join with us today and participate as a Hilaros Giver. If you wish to participate use the following link: http://www.teachingfaith.com/giving
