And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of
persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning
here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition
from your fathers; But with the precious Blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without
blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of
the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by Him do believe
in God, that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith
and hope might be in God. 1 Peter,
Chapter 1, verses 17-21.
Christians don’t have a “free ride on the gravy
train.” God is going to judge us by our
faith and our actions which should be examples of our devotion to Him. Our Salvation wasn’t purchased for us by some
worldly thing like money. We who want to be Free Ride on the Gravy Train Christians can’t pay a
fine when we are caught sinning, like a person who has been speeding pays a
fine as restitution. Our Salvation is
earned through Jesus’ suffering, death and Resurrection on our behalf.
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
