Searching out our Own Salvation

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Blessed be those that

search out their own salvation with fear and trembling. I say this because so many

still seem to only get what's spoon fed to them by their minister or church. Certainly

the minister, and indeed the church at large are essential in the body of Christ.

However, there are many ministers and many churches that are not feeding thier members

very much truth, instead substituting the fallacies and lies human tradition.

Every christian should remember that when God finally judges the Earth, we will not

be able to blame our ministers or other church members for our coming short. All must

then give account for themselves. This is why the Bible instructs us to seek for ourselves.

Salvation is a weighty matter. One that must, and will, take presidence over all else

in this world. We are given one chance in this life to escape eternal punishment, let's

not blow it because we're to lazy to study and show ourselves approved.
