About one-third of the world’s population identify as Christians but the bitter truth is that only a few go to Church and live a holy life with the primary goal of going to Heaven. Sadly, many people have different primary goals for going to Church; Christianity means different things to many Christians today. This ought not to be. We should have Heaven as our primary goal, seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things shall be added unto us.
God doesn’t send people into this world except He has assignments for them. This is called destiny, what God has destined you to become in life. Look at the life of Adam, before he was created there was a plan of who he must be. After he was created God spelt out to him the same assignment. Consider Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and Esau, Joseph, Moses, Samson, Samuel, Jesus Christ, John, etc. there are specific things spoken about them even before they were born. There is a story that is written about you too. Have you discovered yours and working towards its fulfilment?
Salvation is a free gift from God to all those who believe in the name of Jesus Christ. We don’t earn salvation by our own works because it is a gift. We are only required to accept it. The fact that it is free doesn’t mean that a Christian cannot lose his/her salvation if they backslide and refuse to repent. If you have been saved how do you know you are saved or you are still in the state of grace?
