There is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,who walk not after the flesh,but after the spirit. Hey everyone. I've recently been reading from Romans8 and I'm working my way through 9. I've been thinking a lot about my salvation and sanctification and how God keeps me each day. When I first got saved it was unreal how happy I became. I mean I thought I was happy before,but there was always..like..something missing. An emptiness there,as there is in everyone who is in sin. They may not realize it at the time,but they will eventualy. Salvation fills that void. My life just felt like it got 62,000 times better,and it did. I now have a hope and something to look forward to....Heaven. :) It's exciting just thinking about it. Romans8 talks about walking in the spirit after we're saved. How we change from carnally minded,to spiritualy minded. Verse 6 says to be carnally minded is death,but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. That is soo true. Salvation puts such a wonderfull peace in our hearts. If anybody reading this doesn't have what I and many other saints have...SALVATION...let me tell you being free from sin is soooooo very much better than anything,and I mean ANYTHING this world has to offer. I'm glad I'm saved and I'm proud to call Jesus Christ my saviour. Praise God! :) I encourage everyone reading this who hasn't already done so to check out this website.
