now that you're saved

Tuesday October 15th, 2 Timothy 2:  11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; 13 if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.  If we die in Christ we will live eternally in Christ, it is the promise of the resurrection given to all of humanity.  If we disown Christ we will be disowned, not because Christ will disown us, but because our free will allows us only two options, to accept God’s grace or to reject God’s grace.  Having said that, I am not sure we even have the option to accept God’s grace, but perhaps only to actively reject it.  Having said that, I am not sure even rejecting it is a permanent thing, but perhaps something only for this life because even if we are faithless, Christ remains faithful, because that is who Christ is.  Our calling is not to get to heaven, it is to live here and now knowing that is where are going to be in the loving arms of Jesus along with all the brothers and sisters who will be just as surprised as we are.  Now that you are saved, how are you going to live your life?
