This month let’s consider a dozen questions about salvation in general and give some scriptural answers for these frequently asked questions.
Everyday, we face issues in life that challenges us to be all that God wants us to be. We see an example of this in the Old Testament and particularly in Daniel's life.
According to Jewish Law, eating the king's meat would defile Daniel because it would violate his Hebraic training and his Godly upbringing. Therefore the Bible records that Daniel made a decision and stuck with it.
Daniel 1:8 - But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. (NKJ)
- Although Daniel's circumstances improved and then seemed to get worse again, ultimately God brought Daniel into a place of victory because of a decision Daniel made and his God-given purpose to remain fixed to that decision. That is an example of a quality decision, a decision made by God's leading for which the person will not change or alter.
- As Christians, we must purpose in our hearts that we will not defile ourselves by going back on our Godly decisions. If we remain fixed on those God-given decisions then ultimately it will lead us to Victory.
- Ultimately we win when we do God's Will. Additionally we become a good testimony and an example for people to follow so that they too can be blessed by God.
As we continue in this third month of the year, let us remain fixed on our God-given decisions and see the victory in our lives which will be an example to others.
As with every month, say the following with great confidence in our God... “I’m believing to be at the Right Place, at the Right Time saying the Right Thing and the right thing to say is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
