Salvation is a Gift
When Jesus said his last word on the cross, “it’s finished,” he meant it is finished, the mission accomplished, and he is giving back the glory of his redemptive acts to the Father who sent him. Then the church age end and comes to the kingdom that the Son Jesus has established before the cross. Humanity has been given the gift of salvation to be administered by the Holy Spirit, which Jesus Christ advocated.
Though humanity is equipped with the Armor of God to fight the good fight of faith, why still struggle to achieve a complete victory against the enemy? Unity will be formed among the kingdom (Body of God – Government of God) to defeat and destroy all the areas of the wicked. Not even a dot of unrighteousness will be spared and revoke the authority that allows them (principalities) to go in and out of the heavenly realm and will have an instantaneous effect on the enemy to be powerless. Once again, some that can still open their eyes and come to their senses to the truth, deceived due to human weaknesses by nature, will still be at fault due to the improperly used of the gift of free will and will have judgment waiting according to their deeds signified and testified by their conscience, maybe not to the Lake of Fire which is eternal condemnation.
Those who were lost and were found have to go through the process of salvation, which is like a ladder that the lost will climb to have a second chance to be saved from the bottomless pit where the condemned will be consumed by eternal fire. Then, they will humble themselves, be justified, bow down and start calling Abba Father. Jesus refers to himself as “the Amen, the faithful and true witness will not reject those that the Father sent to him, and by faith in him, these turncoats will be justified and sanctified due to God’s plan. We must consider that these defectors have been believers once in their life. Once a person is saved, he is always saved. Scriptures after Scriptures supported this notion; “once saved, always saved.” Salvation is a gift from God. For those who continue to oppose it, I will leave it to them.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
God wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth entirely. There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God, and that is through the mighty Son Jesus; the 2nd and last Adam; King of kings and Lord of lords; 2nd Divine person in the Godhead; born to be a Man (Flesh) — Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, `You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” John 3:6-8
God blessed Jesus to partake of His Divine nature (God)—”As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment, heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.’ ‘And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him, I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17
“Till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;” Ephesians 4:13
When all things shall have been put in subjection to Him, then also the Son Himself will be put in subjection to the One having put all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.
We thank you, Father and your Son, for everything you have given us. Holy Spirit, You know more than I know myself; thank you.
May all the honors are yours now and forever; amen.
