`We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according

to His purpose'.

If we believe in Him; if we have accepted the salvation offered in His Son, the Lord Jesus, then we need fear

nothing that may come. All is in the hands of God, and if He is for us, who can be against us?

(1) We have a new relationship to God. He is our Father and we His children. We should go to Him in

prayer, thanking Him for all things and telling Him all our desires and problems. We always remember

that we can approach Him only through the Lord Jesus Christ. He speaks to us through His word, the

Bible, which we should read regularly. By His word we are prepared to serve Him.

(2) We have been saved to serve Him by good works. The life we lead is service for Him when we are

loving, kind, forgiving, obedient to parents etc.. We should be very careful about what we say, for if we

can control our tongue, we can control all that we do. All that we do should be done for Him.

(3) We should be like Him. Especially should we be separated from sin. We are still in a sinful world, but

just as He was able to live in the world without sharing in its sinful ways, so should we avoid all sin.

We may be tempted to sin, but He will help at such times.

(4) We will have times of trial. God, like any father, is concerned about His children. He allows us to be

tested by troubles or difficulties and looks for us to turn to Him at such times, and trust Him. He also

disciplines us for our own good, even though the trial may sadden us for the present. He is in complete

control and works all things together for good.

Salvation means all that is written in this booklet, and very much more. It would not be possible to write a

book to include all that salvation means for us, but we have mentioned some of the more important points. One

day we shall know even more about God's great salvation in Christ Jesus. Until then we should never cease to

thank Him for what He has done for us, for the gift of His Son, and all that comes to us through Him. Our last

reference in Romans 8:31,32 shows what confidence every believer in Christ should have:

`What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His

own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?'

Our booklet is ended. It was not written simply for interest but to challenge you also. If you call yourself a

Christian what right have you to do this? Many people who live in a civilised country call themselves by this

name `Christian', but they are not Christians by God's standard.

Lives in a civilised country.

Goes to church.

Lives the best life he can.

Is christened or baptised and confirmed.

That is why we have used the word `believer' in this booklet instead of the more popular `Christian'. Are you a

It is easy to say that we believe in the Lord Jesus as our Saviour, but if we do, it should make a difference in

our lives. A person who really believes in Him has new life, he starts all over again like a new born babe. He

thinks differently to what he did before he believed; he now has new interests. He should want to spend time

with God by reading His word, praying, and meeting with others who also believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. His

life should be lived for the Lord Who has saved him, and not selfishly.
