Being saved means you come to want what the Lord wants

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This takes time and effort.  The Lord looks at us like a loving parent watches their children, every parent hopes their child has a long, exciting, and rewarding path through life:  the same is true with the Lord.  It is “Our Choice”.

Joshua 24:15

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served…. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

2nd Ingredient: the Lord’s Love

We are all alive because of His love, and we have to accept His love if we are going to be saved.

Once we know what God wants, we have to align what we want with what He wants. This doesn’t mean that we must change before we can please God, it does mean we choose to do what the Lord wants even when part of us resist’s it. A promise from the Lord is that if we decide to do His will, we will slowly come to enjoy doing his will.
