Here I Am by Jeremy Camp

You are waiting for us to move.
There is so much more, deeper than I've ever known, and known before.
When we draw near, I see the mysteries of who You are.

Reveal my heart to be renewed until nothing's left but You, only You.

Here I am.
Falling to my knees I'm crying out again.
Jesus take me deeper than I've ever been.
Lord here I am.
All of me.
Reaching to the places that I cannot see.
Desperately I need You to move me.
Here I am.

You are waiting for me to see.
All of who You are, God you are so patient with me.
Day after day, come living water, let me drink from Your amazing grace.

Reveal my heart to be renewed until nothing's left but You, only You.

Here I am.
Falling to my knees I'm crying out again.
Jesus take me deeper than I've ever been.
Lord here I am.
All of me.
Reaching to the places that I cannot see.
Desperately I need You to move me.
Here I am.

Let the things of earth lose their hold on me.
Let Your river flow, You are breaking me free.
I will lift my hands in Your presence God.
Make me like You are.

Here I am.
Falling to my knees I'm crying out again.
All of me.
Reaching to the places that I cannot see.
Desperately I need You to move me.
Here I am.

Here I am, everything surrendered.
I am Yours, nothing else that matters.
Laying down every one of my fears.
God won't You, God won't You move me.
Here I am

Salvation

A question came up in our house the other day...can a born-again Christian lose their salvation?

While many other issues brought up about the Christian faith are debatable, this one is not. Scripture gives us a clear answer. A loud, resounding, and glorious "NO!"

Listen to the answer given by John Piper via the link below:

Romans 8:30 - "And those whom he predestined he also called, and those who, he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified."

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 - "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it."

1 Corinthians 1:8-9 - "who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."

Jeremiah 32:40 - "I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me."

Philippians 1:6 - "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

Let us not forget that salvation isn't about us and our ability to "act saved." It is all about our God and his faithfulness to both save us and sustain us in our faith until the end.

But what about those who live like they've been saved and then seem to lose their faith?

1 John 2:19 - "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us."

Hebrews 3:14 - "For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.."

Sometimes I question my faith. Especially when I find myself sinning over and over again. Am I really saved?

After discussing with a few of my close friends, I believe that I am saved. There are a few verses in the Bible that confirm this for me personally.

Romans 10:9 - "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Romans 7:14-15 - "For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh. For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate."

Two things give me confidence: I believe that Jesus rose from the dead and can say that, "Jesus is Lord." I also hate sin, despite the fact that I am a sinner.

The more I try to be a good Christian in my own strength, the more I fail. I pray that God would help me to lean on him in my weakness, for that is where I am strong.
