Just waiting for the Rapture at this point!
An Endless Loop!
Unbeliever:
What must I do to be saved?
Christian:
Accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
Unbeliever:
OK then, please lead me in that prayer.
Christian: (Two weeks later)
I have not noticed a change in you and you continue to sin. Therefor you must not be saved.
Unbeliever:
You mean I’m not saved?
Christian:
No, because as I have said, you continue to sin and have not changed your lifestyle.
Unbeliever:
So if I stop sinning and change my lifestyle, then I will be saved?
Christian:
No, because you cannot earn your salvation, it’s a FREE GIFT from God.
Unbeliever:
So then what must I do?
Christian:
You must accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, but this time mean it!
Unbeliever:
OK, maybe I was not sincere enough, let’s try it again. Please lead me in that prayer again.
Christian: (Two months later)
Again I have not noticed a change in you and you continue to sin. Therefor you must not be saved.
Unbeliever:
You mean I’m still not saved?
Christian:
No, because as I have said, you continue to sin and have not changed your lifestyle.
Unbeliever:
So now what must I do?
Christian:
You must accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, but this time really mean it!
Unbeliever:
I really meant it last time. You keep telling me it’s a FREE GIFT and that I need to accept it. I keep accepting it, but then you say I don’t have it. I ask you how to get it and you say to do what I have already done. This reminds me of “The Song That Never Ends”. When you get to the end, it starts all over again. It’s kind of like a riddle or something!
Well, if God wanted to confuse me he certainly has! If this is God’s plan, then I must say it’s not very just. Why not just say in PLAIN ENGLISH what I need to do to be saved!
Christian:
Hum! Now I’m a little confused!
Actually the unbeliever became saved when they first prayed. Their actions after the fact will make a difference in how well their life goes while on earth and what rewards they receive in Heaven. The act of salvation is a ONE-TIME event and is a FREE GIFT from God.
