But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:4-5 |

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
Revelation 22:21

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

What a wonderful "gift" Grace is to all of who truly Follow Christ.

The only way you could ever feel guilty by what I post is if the Holy Spirit has made you feel guilty.

Psalm 130:1-2 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.


John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Mercy and Grace, where would we be without them.

I know I am saved and remain eternally saved because of God's promises and His completed work on our behalf.

This is a very troubling statement to me.

This statement: It is a good thing to know when God corrects us. It proves we are still Saved ?

It simply means my desire is to grow deeper in God. As I grow, God corrects me to help guide the areas I can improve on. And knowing He is constantly working on me, is like a gage that I am good in God.

Still saved >>> no one is still saved.... they are saved, done, when you state "still" that infers person may no longer be saved.

I work out my own Salvation with fear and Trembling just like you do. And my requests with God happen to revolve around my calling. And chances are my calling and your calling are different. So I am having God prepare me for something specific. You see, I talk to God non stop like i can see Him beside me. And i have a desire to be what He wants me to be. And I am always asking Him to help mold me in that way. His corrections are just more proofs He is there. It's my thing. It's something between God and myself. I would hope you have your own thing between you and God.
