Having a relationship is not about works. It is faith with works not works with faith. Even if one did all things, praised God and quote from the bible without having a committment, taking responsibility then works are nothing. I have come to realize that people don't know what Salvation means or have not yet come to an understanding on what Salvation is all about. So this thing about being saved is totally getting sidetracked. I was gonna disect Salvation with one of our friends here, but i'm still busy.

You know, we all saved. We were saved a thousand years ago. Romans confirms this right well. Jesus died and set us free. All we have to do, all everyone has to do, is believe. He says, just believe in me and you will inherit the Kingdom. Your works will not save you, you gotta have faith and then committment to your faith( taking responsibility for your faith) and then works will come automatically, because the love of God will be driving you all the way. You won't even realize you donated to charity or whatever, not even ur right hand will realize that u donated ur money.

I love this three men, in Nebuchadnezzar's time. shadrack, Meshack and Abednego:
Daniel 3:17,18

" If it be so, Our God whom we serve Is ABLE TO DELIVER US from the blurring fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O King. But IF NOT, be it known unto thee, O King, that WE WILL NOT SERVE THY GODS, nor worship the golden images which thou hast set up."

Verse 18 shows their commitment to their faith, " We will stand by what we believe, no matter what"

If you are going to stand for God and receive whatever it is you need from Him, not only must you have strong faith and make a confession of your faith, but you must also be committed to backing up your faith.

This is where most people fail. They understand faith and how to live by faith, and they can quote the word to you. But their commitmetn to their faith is where they're falling down. They're not committed to standing when tey come under fire.

Let's trust God's heart and make a commitment to our faith confessions.

It is all about Jesus.


The world is still beautiful.
