Psalm 92:14 They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,

No matter what age we are saved at we are given the ability to share what has happened to us with someone else. That is following Christ’s commandment to the disciples to go out and teach others.

When we are first saved we are like children, willing and able to lap things up so that we learn more about Christ. We learn the simple steps first and grow in those steps.

As we learn those steps we can teach others those simple steps – we don’t all have to be preachers to start with!

Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

The more that you are involved with sin the more that you struggle to keep focus on God and on things that He wants in your life; but the more you are able to leave that sin behind the more you will be able to focus on His ways.

He has given us the chance of turning our backs on sin because of what Jesus Christ has done for us. We are no longer trapped in those sinful ways but have been set free.

Yes we still live amongst sinners. Yes we are still tempted. Yes we still sin. But we have the choice of following Christ and His ways; and that sets us free!

1 Peter 1:9 receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

This is one of those verses that brings it all back together for me. I keep my faith so that I can know my soul is saved eternally.

When someone asks me why I believe in God I tell them that it is the truth and better than any theory man can make up. When someone asks me why I have such faith it is because I have learned to trust in Christ for everything.

This does not mean I get it right all the time and neither that I am perfect in any way; just that I firmly believe that Christ has saved me eternally. That is the end of my faith!
