Enduring Christianity
Discussing the joys AND challenges of sincerely following Jesus. Salvation in Jesus is a gift, but Jesus warns us of the temptations that can lure us away. Jesus said "Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my word endures forever." and "Only those who endure until the end will be saved." If your goal is ONLY to get to heaven then maybe despite your good intentions you're heading in the wrong direction? Maybe the direction is faithfully FOLLOWING Jesus and the result is Him? No, this is not a works based podcast! No, this is not an, "I go to Heaven because I earned it." This is a conversation about loving Jesus because he deserves my all.

Now What?
Jesus died for your sins and has forgiven you, now what? Are we suppose to just sit around and believe in Jesus like Dorthy in the "Wizard of Oz" -we just click our heals three times and believe everything is all good? Or, is there more to the statement "all who believe in Jesus will be saved"?
Jesus said "I am the truth, the way and the life, whoever believes in me shall be saved." If we believe in Jesus, then we believe every Word He has ever spoken! This is why Jesus says, if you love me (If you truly believe in me) then you will obey me.
When Jesus was told that his mother and brother were looking for him, he responded with, "who is my mother, who are my brothers and sisters. The one who does the will of my Father is my mother, brother and sister. "
So, If you BELIEVE in Jesus, its not a matter of "now what" - It's a matter of diving into God's word in order to understand and obey it - The now what is to believe the truth of Jesus himself and every word he spoke, which has the power to renew, transform and save!
