I couldn’t claim any impressive record of material success. I am nothing and continue to be so until my departure from this realm. I led my family to Christ, and I’m proud of that. It is my greatest achievement: to meet my family in heaven forever!
God said that we are old outwardly only, or that outwardly we are wasting away, getting older, weaker. Inwardly, however, we are renewed day by day. Wrote the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:16: “Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.” We are saved eternally because of our faith in Jesus Christ, God the Son. It is our Christian hope that is pointed out daily in our walk with God through the inner witness of Christ’s Spirit inside of us. Saved eternally, also known as the eternal security of believers, is a Bible teaching that is sown in our hearts since God “also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge” or guarantee that we are His (saved from sin and the wrath of God!) forever.
