How to take care of my salvation How to walk in holiness. How Satan infiltrates Christians.
Jesus pointed out that to have eternal life it is necessary to believe in Him, in Jesus the son of God, Jesus the Son of God is the only one who takes us to God the Father, I also teach that to enter heaven it is necessary to be born again, which it is the work of the Holy Spirit of God (John 3: 3).
But Jesus taught that in addition to those requirements, those who will enter heaven are those who do the will of God the Father.
Jesus said:
"Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven" Matthew 7:21.
So as Jesus points out, once the person believes in Him, and that the Holy Spirit causes the person to be born again, be regenerated, become a new creature, then it is necessary to maintain obedience to God the Father, and not to sin plus.
In this way God's salvation is taken care of through Jesus, his only Son, Jesus who is God himself who became flesh and blood.
When the disciples said to Jesus, here is your mother and brothers, Jesus answered:
"For everyone who does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that is my brother and sister and mother" Matthew 12: 50
Jesus said: "If you love me, keep my commandments" John 14: 15
The apostle Peter admonishes us to be holy and set apart from evil when he says: "But as he who called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your way of life, for it is written: Be holy, for I am holy" 1 Peter 1:15 - 16
Remember that as the Bible says: -no sanctity no one will see the Lord- Hebrews 12: 14
Then there are practical ways for the born-again Christian to keep doing the will of God the Father, obeying his moral laws, and refraining from doing bad things, avoiding transgressing the moral laws of God, and taking care not to fall into the trap of the devil who seek to distance him from God and who seek to deceive the Christian subtly and in disguise so that he transgresses the laws of God and so that he even moves away from God, even if little by little.
Some Christians say: "They tell me to take care of my salvation, as the Apostle Paul exhorts us, but they do not tell me how to take care of me, how I can take care of it".
Paul says that by being obedient, we engage in our salvation to be children of God without blemish (Philippians 2: 12-15).
It is necessary then as it also says in Hebrews that we obey the word of God, so as not to neglect such a great salvation (Hebrews 2: 1-3) and that Jesus is the author of salvation for those who obey Him (Hebrews 5: 9).
