Christianity is not a checklist, its not attending church on Sundays, it is not prayers before meals and bedtime that have nothing to do with God and everything to do with what you want to extort from God. I want people to know that if you seek God for what you can get out of Him in this life, then you are wrong because you looking for the temporal to satisfy. The crowd who was fed by the loaves and fishes thought to make Jesus king forcefully because he fed them. They were seeking for the food that perishes but not Christ who could truly satisfy. We can be in the world but not of the world. We cannot be so drawn to what the world offers. When Christ is your treasure he will make the movies, the books, the plays, the dances, the unbelievers, parties, the food, the fleeting pleasures of this world will grow dim. What is associated with Christ, the bible, prayer, the fellowship of believers, evangelism, and missions, should draw us.
Tell me do little steps equal sanctification when there is no repentance. No, since salvation is a supernatural work of God,then you should be changed and sanctified daily. I am grieved by something and have been to years and know that God can change things. One has to see the depths of their lostness before they appreciate the salvation God offers. An acknowledgement of sin without biblical repentance... This is what God says.
2 Corinthians 7:10 NASB
For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
Christianity is freedom to live a holy life not by our own efforts but by the power of the Holy Spirit. We will fail and sin at times but not to the depths of the past and we will be conformed and transformed day by day to the image of Christ.
Examine yourself be sure you have entered the narrow gate and are on the narrow way.
