OMG – AM I REALLY SAVED?

I suspect “christians” who
worry about their salvation…
worry about their “eternal destiny”…
worry about their place “in Christ”…
would do well to study the matter of Christ’s relationship to God.
For, after all…
Christ is the firstborn of all creation (COL 1:15)
And, we are created “in Him.” (COL 1:16)
So it would make sense that what ever happens to Him (Christ, our elder brother) would also happen to us.

Now we get to ask — what IS the relationship of Christ to the Father?

Well, one verse calls Christ “the son of His love.”
Is there anything, anything at all, more heartfelt than that? Anything?

Another verse says Christ’s prayer to God ended with the words “Not my will, but thine be done.”
Doesn’t sound like the words of a bad son. Sounds like a good son, if you ask me.

Imagine the tug of war between Christ’s love of His Father and Christ’s love for us. Such a delicate balancing act. It drove Christ to the cross. There he met his death. And death separated the two for three days. Oh my.

I’m sure, God did not like it one bit.

But something happened. It was complicated. We could only hear whispers through a closed door. It sounded positive. But we couldn’t be sure.

But wait. The stone rolled away.

He appeared. Flesh and bone.

God raised Christ. This changes everything.
