YOUR UNBREAKABLE MARRIAGE TO CHRIST #1357/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

YOUR UNBREAKABLE MARRIAGE TO CHRIST

 

Tell me what church or theological stream you were raised in, and I'll tell you the level of anxiety you have about your salvation. That's a strange way to start a discussion of the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to us. To be born again by the blood of Jesus. God's dream from the beginning was always that he would bring us back into his family through Jesus Christ.

This experience we have is called by many different names. One group of people would ask you if you've ever been saved. The next group would want to define it a little closer and ask if you've been born again. Some of our Baptist brothers call it "walking the aisle" or "shaking the hand of the preacher."

Years ago, a missionary in the South Seas wrote about the natives, "running the trails with Jesus."

So you see, there are different names and ideas about what we call conversion or being brought into the family of God.

According to the apostle Paul, in Ephesians 5, Christ and the church (that's you) have been married. In that chapter, he uses the natural marriage between a man and a woman as an example of Christ and the church.

In our theological classes, we use the term "the security of the believer" to describe our confidence in the longevity of our salvation. Many of the Baptist brothers referred to it as "eternal security." Once you're saved, you're always saved.

Interestingly enough, the Pentecostal background denies that, and as a byproduct, we have a vast amount of backsliders waiting to come home.

Referring to our salvation as a marriage to Christ is biblically sound. According to Paul's teachings, we have been made one with him in the same way a man and a woman become one in their marriage.

Mark 10:9 makes this statement about marriage: what God has joined together, let no man separate. We are reassured in the Scriptures that we are in the hands of God, and no one can take us away from that.

So, as you sleep tonight, be assured that you will not lose your salvation before you wake up. And when you do wake up to the understanding that you are secure in your marriage to Christ, your journey will be filled with a different level of joy and contentment.
