Word of Life

Can you lose your salvation? You can’t lose it, but a lot of people think they have it, but don’t.

We're gonna get this settled right now. Are you saved? If you're saved, the Holy Spirit is doing these six things in your life. There's many more things we could have included on this list but I chose what I thought were the six main ones.

1. The Holy Spirit is growing you. (Galatians 5:22)

If you're saved, you're more godly than you used to be. You're changing. You might have symptoms of your old problems but you don't give into them like you used to. You're being set free from addictions. Your character is growing. When you are saved, the Spirit is developing in you "... love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, self-control" - fruit of His character.

I'll use myself as an example here. I've got problems; I'm not perfect. But the people who know me best, my family, my close friends, the people that I work with, all would say in unison, "James is not who he was five years ago. God's growing and changing him." Is God growing and changing you? That's a work of His Spirit.
