The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling

Spiritual Connector~ We all live busy lives in a busy, busy world. And as such, making time to think about and work on our eternal lives rarely occurs during the week. We get in the habit of saving our introspections for church on weekends, or on special religious holidays such as Easter and Christmas. At these times we will dress up and go to church to listen to the sermon and hear the music, and gain a warm fuzzy feeling that we have done our due dilligence in making God a part of our lives, even if it is just a small part; something is better than nothing. We believe  pastors or priests when they say God loves us so much that He has provided a way to salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ spent on the Cross, and all we must do to gain eternal life is "believe on Jesus Christ and you are saved." We go home from church feeling satisfied with our understanding that we will always be sinners, but that Jesus has "paid it all" for our sins, and there is nothing more we need do to demonstrate our love for God other than "Believe!" Our spiritual connector to God and salvation, according to our pastors, is Grace through Faith. Yet those of you that have been listening to our programs for any length of time now realize that this concept is like trying to life a 100 pound weight with a rubber band; the rubber band will break before you get the weight off the ground. The words of Jesus that He gave His own eyewitness disciples is the unbreakable connector between Truth, salvation, and eternal life. But the understanding of the Truth of how salvation really works takes time and patience. Simply attending a church service now and then, or even every week, will not do anything to promote the deep understanding that is needed in order to gain entry into the Kingdom of God. Set aside the time to learn His words and you will be rewarded with the knowledge that brings salvation and eternal life.
