TOPIC: โจ WHAT IT MEANS TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST โจ
And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark... (Genesis 7:1).
I once watched a television interview where the guest, a renowned preacher, was asked a simple question: What exactly does it mean to give your life to Christ? I expected he would be asked the question because throughout the interview, he made several references to โgiving your life to Christ.โ His response was that giving your life to Christ meant allowing God to rule your life, and then starting to read the Bible. That moment highlighted something important: many who use the expression โgive your life to Christโ may not truly understand what it means. But this is too important a subject to leave undefined because it relates to the very heart of the Gospel.
To give your life to Christ doesn't merely mean deciding to live differently or turning over a new leaf. It means identifying your life with His life. It means placing your life into His hands and receiving the salvation He accomplished for you. Jesus Christ, by your confession and affirmation becomes Lord of your life; you acknowledging that His death, burial, and resurrection were for your sake.
A beautiful picture of this is found in Noah's ark. In the days of Noah, safety wasn't found outside the ark; salvation was in the ark. Everyone who entered the ark was preserved from destruction. In the same way, Christ is God's Ark of salvation. When you give your life to Him, you enter into Him. You come into the place of safety, deliverance, and eternal life that God has provided through Jesus Christ.
This is why salvation is not merely adopting a religion or subscribing to a set of beliefs. It's entering into Christ. The Bible says, โTherefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...โ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Notice the expression โin Christ.โ That's the reality of salvation. You've been brought into Him by the new birth.
You're not struggling to save yourself or trying to earn God's acceptance. You've been brought into Christ, and in Him you have righteousness, peace, protection and eternal life. This is the blessing and security of everyone whoโs given their lives to Christ.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your grace that has brought salvation to all men through Jesus Christ. I rejoice that I've been brought into Christ and made one with Him. I live in the security, righteousness, and eternal life that you've provided through Him. Thank you for making me a new creation and establishing me in your grace forever, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Acts 4:12 KJV
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 10:8-10 KJV
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
