Why get Saved?





Ever asked yourself why you got saved? Well not questioning your salvation Per-se but searching deep within you to know WHY you really got saved. Were you trying to conform to a certain pattern? or find abundance or find love? Well when I first got saved all I wanted was to find comfort, to find peace, really didnt care about anything else just that. Did I find all that no! 

When your motive is not right, then it is so easy to fall! If you dont get the comfort you were searching for you will prefer 'the other world'. When you meet this man in church and then he doesnt turn out to be who you expected him to be you will keep wishing you stuck with that random guy you dated last!

I always had this misconception that it was easy to be saved that once you get saved all will fall into place like a jig-saw puzzle. I was wrong!  I ended up being inside salvation but looking out the window to see how the outside world was.

So why get saved:
I don’t want you to read this blog and start to think that instead of saving souls I am leading them away from Christ! It does not matter what you believed in the past, the truth is there is a God who wants to have a relationship with you. There are so many reasons to get saved but my top three favorite are: 

1.: To become a child of God:
John 3: 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

Not everyone is automatically a child of God! you have to accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour first.
God's children are treated differently than God's servants. God will teach, comfort, guide, and chastise His children. His servants are pretty much left to their own until their final judgment one day. God's children can holla at their father (God) at anytime, isn't that cool or what? Knowing that Your daddy can do anything when you ask HIM. (John 14: 14 if you ask anything in my name, I will do it).

2: To know the truth for yourself:
Is it not bad enough that there are so many false teachers our there? Do you get different interpretations of scripture? Well God can reveal them to YOU, he can help you understand the bible for yourself. When someone quotes a verse you will be able to go back and read it for yourself and understand it  according to 1 Corithians 2: 9-10. The purpose of the Holyspirit in a Child of God’s life is to teach them the things that seem too difficult and confusing. He will give you that deep spiritual understanding. He will HELP you to pray according to HIS word.

3: Finally to have a deep relationship with God
I like to have a personal relationship with God, and talk to him normal you know the way you can talk to a friend. I don’t have to go to him all deep for him to hear me out. God wants to have a relationship with you, to be in your daily life and thoughts. He is a friend that can never bail out on you. He sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18: 24)
Don’t go seeking God because your relationship failed or you are lonely, seek HIM because he is GOD and he is so awesome! Don't seek HIM because of what he can do, seek HIM for who HE IS. Seek him in truth with all your heart and mind.  

When you are going through something don't go to people, FIRST turn to HIM he will give you a solution, (James 1:5). Have quite time with HIM and he will speak to you.


Don’t be fooled God cannot be mocked He knows your intentions even before you speak them out.
