Message
The Sunday School teacher, sister Mabel, was often disturbed each time she observed the conduct of MaryAnn. Mary, though very quiet and answers Bible questions intelligently, easily finds fault, gossips, hardly forgives others, finds it difficult to pray, is stubborn and sometimes, tells lies. Mrs. Mabel decided to carry out personal interview concerning the salvation of her Sunday School children beginning with Mary. Mary, are you sure you are a friend of Jesus? Can you remember the day you repented of your bad ways and asked Jesus to forgive you and make you His Friend? “I am not sure,” Mary quickly answered. “But I like coming to Church with my mom.” There is one thing on earth that you should never doubt; that is, the salvation of your soul. Salvation is doubtful where the fruits of holy and righteous conduct are absent.
Are you sure you are saved from sin? Have you believed in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Saviour? Are your thoughts, words and actions righteous before God and others? Note: righteous living – a life that overcome sin, is the fruit and proof of salvation.
