Salvation
To be saved from the wrath of God because of sin and the penalty of sin and its consequences. God is Holy and just and He must punish sin. We can’t save ourselves by our good works or deeds, it’s impossible. Christ came to die on the cross to take away our sin and its power in our life, and to give us everlasting life.
What is a saved person. How Does this work?
God does the following by His power.
1)We are called. God the Father draws you to His Son Jesus Christ
2)We hear, follow, and obey voice of the Good Shepherd (The word of God)
3)We are then permanently sealed with the Holy Spirit
4)We are then being sanctified, (set apart, made Holy). This is a process, which includes the renewal of the mind. This is the only thing we are called to do. To then believe and to go on believing the Gospel by following Christ.
Read, Believe and Accept the Scriptures
1) John 6.44 - No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day)
2) John 10.27 - My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.” ]
3) Ephesians 1.13- In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise]
4) Philippians 1.6 -being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;].
A saved person is then being sanctified, made Holy and set apart. This SANTIFICATION PROCESS – THE SHAKING – is where junk is coming out, you are making mistakes, but you get up again. You are coming into the knowledge what God has already done for you. You may experience some turbulence but keep going.
Some people may get harassed spiritually this is because they are being conveyed from the darkness to the kingdom of light.
Please note: Any spiritual attacks do not mean you have demons inside you, they are outside. Just keep working OUT your salvation and renewing the mind (believe the word of God). This means to work out what is already inside you. Find a good Bible-believing Church and get discipled. The storm will pass, and things will settle. The Lord has moved you, uprooted you, from one Kingdom to another. Sometimes it takes a little time for those ROOTS to die. Again, get discipled into the new creation – a new man and this is a process.
You Can’t Lose Your Salvation. Salvation is a Gift from God.
Ephesians 2.8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.]
God calls you; He grants your eternal salvation. God saves you; God sanctifies you– You will never perish. He gives those whom He has chosen eternal life. You will always be sealed with the Holy Spirit.
Salvation is not works based, you can’t do anything to earn it, it’s a gift from God and you can’t do anything to lose it. If you feel you must continue to do things to keep pleasing God or you think God is mad at you, He Loves you one day and not the next. This is wrong doctrine and very dangerous. This is fear based, works-based salvation.
Don’t Believe the Lie. Don’t not be Deceived.
Know the love of God. His grace and mercy will save you today and will keep saving you. You have entered a relationship not a dictatorship with God - Just like Jesus walking with His disciples, He desires to walk with you. It does not mean you continue in sin, but that you have turned away from sin and are now sincerely following Christ.
True Salvation – You Can’t Be Separated from God
Rest in this;
[Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39]
Jesus Christ turns a victim into more than a conqueror. Find a Bible believing church and get Get Discipled into the truth.
John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
