*DON’T LOSE YOUR SALVATION*
_Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall_ *(1 Corinthians 10:12)*
Nothing in this world compares to the value of your salvation. Not your accomplishments, not your visions, not your impact; nothing. Your salvation is the very reason for your existence; without it, everything else amounts to nothing. Your main purpose on earth is to secure your salvation and help others find theirs. Once you understand this, you’ll live a fulfilled life.
There’re those who laboured diligently, gave generously, and served fervently, yet lost their salvation because they strayed from the path. You can be engaged, committed, and even celebrated, yet miss the essence. Never let that happen. Your salvation is your most priceless possession; don’t treat it lightly. Refuse to be drawn away.
Some have allowed others to guide them off course, becoming entangled in conflicts they had no business with; defending positions that corrupted their focus and weakened their walk with God. That’s not your path. Stay with the truth. Continue in Christ and guard your heart. The Bible says, *“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving”* (Colossians 2:6-7).
Your walk with God is personal. When God called Abraham, He called him alone. In the same way, your accountability to the Lord is a personal one. These are the last days; therefore, don’t let anyone lead you astray, and don’t lead yourself astray either. Be discerning and remain established in the Word.
Receiving Christ is the beginning, not the end. Build yourself up in Him. Give yourself to deep and intense study of the Word. The Lord Jesus said, *“Search the Scriptures”* (John 5:39). Paul said, *“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”* (2 Timothy 2:15). As you give yourself to the Word, the Spirit of God unveils deeper truths to you, strengthens your convictions, and keeps you grounded in the truth.
*PRAYER*
_Dear Father, I thank you for the priceless gift of salvation that I’ve received in Christ. I remain steadfast, vigilant and rooted in your Word, refusing to be swayed or led astray by any influence contrary to your truth. I’m built up in Christ, I’m growing in grace and in the knowledge of your Word. Thank you for the grace to lead others into this same glorious life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*Hebrews 2:1 NIV* We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
*Philippians 2:12* Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
*Acts 20:29-31 NIV* I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. *30* Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. *31* So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
