| | Salvation Working in My Family | | I just wanted to send a note to all believers here today for encouragement and celebration.
We are a family of six, and my wife and I are biblically saved.
Last year my 14 year old daughter was saved, and today my 18 year old son was saved!
That's four out of six and my other two boys are actively seeking Jesus with all their hearts.
I truly believe they will be saved as well.
May God be glorified and I hope all who read this will glorify God as well.

| | Re: Salvation Working in My Family | | If your two other boys are actively seeking Jesus with all their hearts why do you say they are not “saved?”

| | Re: | | Because there hasn't been conversion yet. You can seek Jesus all you want but it's head knowledge. You don't get saved on your own merits and actions. God draws, God saves.

What will happen to them if the Lord Jesus returns while they are still waiting to be saved?

| | Re: | | If they are elected for salvation, then they'll be saved one way or the other. That's in God's hands. As long as they're actively seeking His grace, that's all I care about.

If God draws and God saves and a person elected for salvation will be saved one way or the other, then what is the purpose of anyone actively seeking God's grace?

| | Re: | | A person that wants to be saved will start to activity search God because they want Him so badly. Even if someone searches God for 10 years He might not save them because it isn't God's will yet or never. Actively search God and basically let Him know that you are sericeous and then God will look in His Lambs Book of Life and see if you are in it or not. But you have to be patent and let God do what He wants. Just keep searching Him and He will save you or he might not. That's why Christians say "I will serve and warship you all my life even if I go to Hell in the end." This shows God also that you are serious.

This is the first time I have heard this teaching.
Is it so hard to be a Christian, so hard to be saved?

I have not heard the apostle Paul said anything like that.
He said:
Rom. 10:11-13 –
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed. ”………the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
And he said:
Phil. 3:14 –
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
And he said:
2 Tim. 4:7-8 –
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
Paul was sure of his destination. Hell was not on his radar. I will imitate him.
In fact, I can't think of any scripture that says that a person who serves and worships God can go to hell.

That is one of the most absurd things I have ever read. Good grief.
