saved to the uttermost

Half a year is almost gone already, and my walk with God has really been one roller coaster ride (as Teacher Chen Kee would put it). An amazing one; learning to grow closer to Him every single day, no matter what I face.

As I look back I still do see so many sins, so many weaknesses in myself. Like a piece of porcelain, you never see the tiny fault lines unless you look really closely. God Himself knows my heart, and He sees these things too.
The title of this blog post, is found in Hebrews 7:25, "Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." We learnt about it in Cat. Class today.
To be saved to the uttermost is to be completely and wholly saved. We can never lose this salvation. Even though I still struggle with sin, I'm still saved, but only by grace alone. :)

Even as I go into the June holidays, I really want to take time to reflect on the sins that I still struggle with, and commit them to the Lord. I'm going to work it out with my heavenly Father. It won't be an overnight thing, I know. But it's a beginning of a lifetime of refining and walking ever so much closer to Him. Another bout of the exciting spiritual roller coaster (Battlestar Galactica! :)). Where amazing happens.
