When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Saviour, we gain an understanding of who GOD truly is. We start to understand that Jesus came to earth for us. We know that when we are sinning, we are convicted by the Holy Spirit which has come upon us.
If we are not truly "in Jesus" we can carry on our lives as before. But once we are "in Jesus" suddenly we start to see ourselves through the eyes of Jesus.
We know that we are sinners. We know that we fall way short of the Glory and righteousness of our FATHER in Heaven. We know when we are not living as Jesus would want us to and we are called to repent.
This is an ongoing process. It is no use thinking that "Ah I have repented and I am now safe in my belief". Each and every time we sin, we feel it and it grieves us and calls us to beg our FATHER for HIS grace and mercy.
So that is how we know whether we are truly "in Jesus". We start to change our ways and we become "new creatures" openly demonstrating the growth of the working of the Holy Spirit within us.
If you have not changed your life since accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you are not convicted by the Holy Spirit. It is time now to repent and to ask GOD to fill you with HIS mighty Counselor who will come alongside of you and show you how to grow "IN JESUS".
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, today I pray for anyone reading this blog who has not changed their ways to ask YOU to forgive them. FATHER I pray that YOU will forgive my sins today and I pray for YOUR enormous grace to show in my life as a light to others. I pray this in the Holy Name of my Lord and my Saviour. Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
