Not Satisfied With Just Being Saved

Not Satisfied With Just Being Saved

Genesis 12:7- Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, β€œTo your descendants, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

I don’t know about you, but I am not satisfied with just knowing that I am righteous by faith. I also want to get to know the One who made me righteous. I want to have an intimate relationship with my Saviour!

Abraham was such a man. He was righteous by faith, but he also had a close walk with God and was blessed by God in all things. (Genesis 24:1) His nephew Lot, on the other hand, although righteous too (2 Peter 2:7–8), had no heart for God. He ended up losing a lot when Sodom, the city he dwelt in, was destroyed along with Gomorrah. He was saved by the skin of his teeth!

My friend, do you want to be a Christian like Lot, righteous but always finding yourself in trouble, or do you want to be a righteous-and-blessed Christian like Abraham? Then, like Abraham, have a heart for God.

From place to place, Abraham would build an altar to the Lord. And in between altars, he grew very rich! (Genesis 13:2) There is no biblical record, however, of Lot ever building an altar to the Lord.

What is an β€œaltar” in today’s context? It is a place where you know that you have a close relationship with God.
The place where you cast all your cares to the Lord and leaned on His love for you. That is β€œaltar”.

We have got to have this kind of relationship with God, one full of β€œaltars” that remind us of His love, goodness, and faithfulness. Let’s not live the Christian life like Lot, saved by the skin of our teeth. Let’s walk closely with God as Abraham did and be richly blessed in every area of our lives!

Confession:
I choose to have an intimate relationship with the One who made me righteous – Jesus Christ. I walk by faith and not by sight. Glory be to God. πŸ™

    I shouldn’t aim to make it into God’s kingdom through the skin of my teeth like Job, I should live to be abundantly blessed and highly favoured like Abraham! Father, help me to live a life in Your fulfilled promises. Help me so that I can live a life of intimacy with You – knowing who You are, deeper than just being saved.
