Salvation is The Gift of God

As Christians, we are going to have trials. The Crown of Life belongs to those who have stood the test of persecution for their belief in and service to Jesus. Crowns are given to us to bring glory to God. We have been saved to get in God's perfect will and serve Him. But, Christians serve Jesus because they love Him, not for rewards. Life is not about me and you; it is about God and doing His will. Satan will try, through the trials we face, to turn us away from what God wants us to do. We must turn defeat into victory and tell Satan that he is not going to triumph in our lives. God has a plan for each of us. It is up to us to follow the will of God and not the world. Salvation is the gift of God, not of works, and God is not willing that any should perish. Our lives as Christians may be the only book that some people will ever read. Are you living for God? Are people reading a book that says, "I love my Lord and I live for His glory and share His message of salvation?"
