And if wicked people turn from their wickedness, obey the law, and do what is just and right, they will save their lives. They will live because they thought it over and decided to turn from their sins. Such people will not die. – Ezekiel 18:27-28(NLT)
ON SAVING YOUR LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you dying inside from all the trials in life?
Be hopeful and trust only Jesus Christ
When you intentionally choose to do right
You will be enveloped in the Lord’s light.
If you want to be saved, then turn from evil
It will be a big blow for your enemy, the devil
When you decide to choose a life that is righteous
You become heirs to God’s kingdom that is glorious.

When you face physical danger, what do you do? The body has a built-in automatic emergency response that uses the nervous and endocrine systems to boost the body’s performance when there’s a threat. It’s like an emergency mechanism that the body mobilize to give us “super-strength” when there’s danger. When I was eleven years old, our apartment building almost burned. There was a fire in the market beside our home. My mother was eight months pregnant yet managed to carry a 10 cubic feet refrigerator by herself out of our house.
Do we save our spiritual life just as much as we do our physical bodies? Obedience and trust to God must be your response to spiritual danger.
