ONE HEARTBEAT AWAYPART 116
(copied from Mark Cahill's Book)
Paul, speaking of his experience of meeting the glorified Jesus on the road to Damascus, said He couldn't stop telling people about Jesus.
"But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. " (Acts 26:20)
As with Paul, now that you are saved, God wants to work through you, to make your life a true reflection of repentance and faith. Once you repent and receive Jesus, the Spirit of God is in you, and your gratitude for what He has done and will do for you will fill you with a desire to do great deeds for Him.
What you truly believe is what drives you to action. Now it is time for action:
"They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." (Titus 1:16)
"For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead.
And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him Who died for them and rose again.
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away: behold all things are become new."
(2nd Corinthians 5:14-17)
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them"
(Ephesians 2:10)
