OK- so my thoughts are coming from a friend who got the thoughts from someone else's blog who got the thoughts from John Bunyan. . . but they are good thoughts to think about nonetheless:
"Bunyan meditated on the marks of a person who is coming to Christ for salvation:
1. Is sin exceedingly bitter to you?
2. Do you run from your sin as you would a deadly serpent? (We won't get into that, Amber :)
3. Do you recognize and flee from the insufficiency of your own righteousness?
4. Do you cry to the Lord Jesus to save? (We've talked about this, haven't we, Amy?)
5. Do you see more worth and merit in one drop of Christ's blood to save you, than in all the sins of the world to condemn you?
6. Are you tender of sinning against Jesus?
7. Is Jesus more precious to you than the glory of the world?
8. Is faith precious to you?
9. Do you savor Christ and His Word, and do you leave all the world for his sake?
10. Are you willing (with God's help) to run in haarm's way for His name?
11. Are His saints precious to you?"
Lately, the Lord has been bringing to my mind this thought. . . "Am I your delight? That ONE delight?" That's it. . . that's when it's for real. . . when He is the apple of my eye, my treasure, my rest, my delight, truly my all and all.
