Saved by grace

When I say I am a Christian,

I am meant to be Christ-like

In actions, in deeds, and even in thoughts.

When I say I am Christian

I am meant to have all fruits of the spirit

To love, be kind, good,

Humble, forgiving, nice and many more.

But many times in my Christian walk,

I find myself falling short in many ways

Whereby the constant behavior of people push me

Or my own actions make me condemn myself

But then I remember something,

I remember His grace, which saved me initially.

His mercy, which sees me though each fall

And just God being God

And that keeps me going, and gives me the assurance.

He gives me the ability to believe that truly “I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me.”

And then the assurance that when “I call upon the name of God I will be saved”.

And that keeps me going though out, encouraging me not to give up because He would never give up on me.

That is why each time in my Christian walk I make it a point to remember that I walk not by my power, but by He that called me according to His purpose.

So when I say I am a Christian I put my trust in God to see me though it all.

When I say I am a Christian, I say I am not perfect myself, but with God I am.
