Whether or not anyone subscribes to 'Once Saved Always Saved', I don't want to argue that, so let's just 'assume' we 'are' saved.....but, how many of us are 'really' living in our salvation? I think most of us (self included), believe we have 'aquired' salvation......but do we use it as a wall to shut ourselves off from everything and everyone around us?
I think often of
John 10:10: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
So, how do we live this 'life more abundantly'? I believe I am 'more' than this. How do we 'flip the switch' to turn on fully what we beleive Jesus died to give to us? I am more than the stereotype that I have molded myself into being by mimicking everyone around me including (and especially) those in my church. How do we 'really' change? How do we really 'become' all that He wants us to be?
