When you believe that the blood that Jesus shed on the cross was for you, you then receive the life of Jesus in you. You are now born-again. The God of the Holy Bible offers us His grace; grace is a free gift, a gift that we do not deserve. We do not work to receive God’s gift of salvation, but when we receive salvation by faith then our faith will be proven by doing the works of God which He has prepared for us to do. When you accept God’s grace through faith you then enter into the destiny that God has planned for your life.

The simplest definition of salvation is to be delivered (or rescued) from peril. The word took a bit more of a shape when I figured out it was connected with the preacher telling us we needed to “get saved.” The most common meaning of salvation is to be saved by God from the consequences of our sin. But the Bible speaks of our salvation in a bit fuller terms than simply being rescued from hell.

It is one thing to be a Christian and another to live the life of a true believer. The later is not possible if you do not consider the ways of the LORD and try to know HIS eternal design for your life. This is key to living a purpose driven life

You will not run away from challenges. Rather, challenges will propel you into God's greatness. "Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. " Josh. 1:7 You will not cower and hide your head in shame. Rather, you will be celebrated in every corner of the globe that you find yourself. Ps. 25: 20, 21 "Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You." You will rejoice over your seed. You will rejoice over your loved ones. You will rejoice over all that God has given you oversight of. Listen to Mal. 3: 11, 12.

Hebrews 6:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. You will attain the heights that God has ordained for you. You will excel. Your life will yield pleasing and abundant returns for God's glory. Remember this from John 10:10? Jesus declares...." I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." You will fulfil God's purpose. You will not run away from challenges. Rather, challenges will propel you into God's greatness. "Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. " Josh. 1:7 You will not cower and hide your head in shame. Rather, you will be celebrated in every corner of the globe that you find yourself. Ps. 25: 20, 21 "Keep

If you are a Christian like me, I'm sure you can answer with a definite, Yes. As we grow daily, we discover that challenges are a common part of life. Jesus said: 'These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.' Jn. 16:33. I believe that challenges are part of God's strategies to keep us on our toes, to keep us awake and alert. Why? Because when we are too comfortable, we begin to be complacent. We enter into a comfort zone, a rut, where everything is just okay and any change becomes a chore. We become extremely reluctant to switch the status quo because everything is just right, just the way we like it. But God wants us to move. He knows when we have gone round a mountain long enough and when it's time to move to the next level. So He comes along and pulls the carpet off from under our feet. It's Testing Time. But it's also a time to move from examination to promotion.
