1 Peter 1: 9
” for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”

We can spend our lives, our lives searching and desiring….
Spending hours talking – ” what our purpose is…what does God want for our lives….
what is God’s will…..what am I suppose to be doing..
is this all there is for me ?”
1 Peter 1 : 9
” for you are receiving the GOAL of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”

Present tense = receiving
a reward from Who ?    JESUS CHRIST Himself !

Our salvation is :
Past –  Our point of belief…HIS death & resurrection
Present – faith shielded today by HIS BLOOD, His power
Future –  our inheritance = eternal life, living w/ JESUS forever

The GOAL OF OUR FAITH…..
Each day brings us closer to eternity, yet we are NOW RECEIVING……
NOW….in it….. NOW, today,   9 – 11 – 2012

( those in 9-11 – saved =  receiving eternity in Heaven …thank YOU, JESUS )

What ever  we are going through =  receiving the power of our salvaiton
Where ever we are at, moving ahead or standing still =  receiving today, our goal.

So, if we are standing in Walmart, the line is not moving…..
YOU ARE SAVED
So, if you are in a Nascar Car….going hundreds of MPH….
YOU ARE SAVED
So……..

1 Peter 1: 9
“for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”

Don’t like your gift ?
Don’t like today who is standing right where you are at….giving it to you ?
Don’t enjoy truly enjoy the fact …even in the trial….WE HAVE VICTORY….
in the trial
in the stand still
in the wating…..

WE have our SALVATION…….
WE have our SALVATION…….
