We are saved purely by the Grace of God and not because we are have done righteous works or have been more holy than others who are still blinded by the prince of power of the air. As a believer we cannot boasts of “getting it” or having exclusive knowledge of the truth, unless it is revealed. The privilege of Salvation gives us passage rights of Access to the Father through the Holy Spirit that is indwelling in a Redeemed soul.
Beloved, it is the Spirit that transforms us from death in trespasses and sin, – “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience”- Ephesians 2:2. Transformed from the death of blindness, whereby we were unable to see Jesus and the love of God, from death of deafness whereby we had no faith, for Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God. Transformed from death of dumbness whereby we were unable to speak life because of unbelief or weakness, for with the heart a man believes and with his mouth confession is made. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, transformed from the death of Fear, the greatest weapon of the enemy in the warfare of mind control. If the enemy succeeds in binding a person with the spirit of Fear, the ability to operate in full identity of sonship is thwarted. But God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, of love and a Sound Mind.
Revelation of the Truth is outside the remit of man, it is of God that has mercy and up to Him to activate your freewill to seek and find Him. A heart that is seeking to know the Truth, will receive Grace. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” – Ephesians 2:10. God has already predestined you for a purpose, and the bigger your mandate, the fiercer the battle is for your soul. We cannot afford to joy in the fall of a brethren because that is a loss of soul to the kingdom of darkness and every soul is important to God. – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved”. – John 3:16-17. If an unsaved soul or a backslider dies whilst fallen, the soul is destroyed and that is victory for the enemy.
The bible is very clear on outcome for those who do not accept the invitation presented by the saving Grace of the only Begotten Son of God – Jesus in John 3:18, “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God”. Beloved the Good News is, “but God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (BY GRACE YE ARE SAVED); And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. FOR BY GRACE YE ARE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD!!!!
Dearly beloved, Salvation is by Grace alone, you cannot be saved by yourself, no matter how self sufficient you are, that is why you need Revelation of the Truth. This can only be when you seek to know Jesus outside of sect doctrines and traditions. God reveals Himself by grace, to those who passionately want to dwell in His presence and walk in His Will for them. He then opens the eyes of their understanding, so that they can see beyond the letters and are able to testify in the Spirit. That is when you can “get it”.
The days we are in are treacherous and sin is no longer shocking, because the people have been subliminally desensitised. SIN is blatantly being played out to look as fun and people’s rights; but Sin is Sin, and an ABOMINATION to God. We know the Grace of God abounds where there is sin, but Grace has a time limit and should not be abused, otherwise His Wrath is a consequent outcome for disobedience. However, there Great rejoicing by the Angels and all the Heavenly Host when one sinner repents. (Luke 15:10 paraphrased).
Beloved of God, this a call to REPENTANCE!
Jesus is coming soon; you too, can receive Grace of Salvation today, to live a life of purpose as you become transformed from DEATH to LIFE EVERLASTING. Amen.
Blessings
