In recent blogs we talked about new things and testing new things. Once you buy something, as the owner, it is your responsibility to care for your investment.

How do we care for new things?

You do not care for a new car in the same way you do for an old car, but you take care of it with zeal. You don’t leave it open, you avoid pot holes in the road, you keep it shine and clean, and so on. How much more shall we care for our spiritual life.

 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling – Philippians 2:12

A continuous process

Taking care of any investment is a continuous process. In order to keep a new car in good condition frequent maintenance is required.

Salvation is received when we accept Jesus, but in order to stay on the path to salvation we need a continuous relationship with our Lord.

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ – Philippians 1:6

We can be confident that even with all the difficult situations we live, God will continue to work in us until we reach our heavenly home.

The goal

The purpose of a car is to transport us from one place to another. The purpose of the new life we receive in Christ is to transport us from a limited and imperfect life to eternity.

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God”. – John 3:5

Take care of your greatest investment: your new life in Christ.
