“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ¹⁰If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in His love. ¹¹I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. ¹²My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ¹⁴You are my friends if you do what I command.” (John 15:9-14)

What Are You Saved For?

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:11-13)

In recent years, there is one simple yet profound question that has radically changed the way I view my faith: “What is our salvation for?” So often we speak of our hope of heaven, that Jesus came to offer us eternal life with Him. And as wonderful and glorious as this is, it offers very little by way of showing us what we should do with our lives in the present. If we are saved for heaven, then what are we meant to do with the days we’ve been given on earth? What does our present reality have to do with the eternal hope we have in Christ?

“For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)

One of the fads of 1970’s America was the motorcycle jump. This trend reached its high (and low) point on September 8, 1974. Thousands of spectators gather around the Snake River Canyon in Idaho to see if a man named Evil Knievel could jump across the chasm in a specially designed “sky cycle.”
