START - Think about the moment you were saved (or supposedly). You may not remember the #exact time/place, but you DO recall the instant relief one feels when they give themselves to GOD. - Think about your life after that. Was it any different from BEFORE? What changed? - Is your HEART different? SALVATION happens where NO MAN can obtain power. NO WO/MAN has that ability. GOD ALONE does. YOUR LIFE - Did you CHANGE upon #receiving Christ in your heart? Do you #resemble Him more than others? More than #theWorld? - We are surrounded by much evil. The earth is SATAN's domain, and he has FREE REIN... unless GOD stops him from doing something, as He did with Job in the Bible (I highly recommend reading the book of JOB- found before the books of Psalms/Proverbs. MIDDLE - Reading about the lives of God's people, the Israelites, and His numerous followers such as King David, Samson, and Deborah - these people are mostly spoken of in the Old Testament - will definitely aid in #improving your life. - Resembling JESUS/GOD isn't a one-day activity. It's a LIFE-LONG commitment. Like MARRIAGE, we PLEDGE ourselves to HIM - and ONLY HIM - until He takes us to be with Him. That could be today, tomorrow, or upon our death. DEATH - And speaking of DEATH... it has no ABSOLUTE DAY/TIME. It can happen WHENEVER. You could suffer an aneurysm much like I did at 18 years of age. But I survived (still unsure as to WHY). Others have not. There is NO GUARANTEE of tomorrow. - It says in the BIBLE (GOD's WORD): *JAMES 4: 14- "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even as a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."* Meaning that life can pass before our eyes and be gone IN AN INSTANT.
