NEW SERIES : HOW WE LOOK AT SALVATION
GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS:
THE WAYS WE ARE LOOKING AT SALVATION needs to be addressed this year rather quickly because I can't believe that we have a lot of time left before Christ is sent back to Earth by the Father for the wrath of judgment this world deserves so much. In this short series, I want to touch on 4 different viewpoints of the plan of Salvation. 1. THROUGH GOD'S EYES, 2. THROUGH OUR EYES, 3. THROUGH THE WORLD'S EYES, and 4. THROUGH THE EYES OF THE ANGELS ON JUDGMENT DAY
The facts are that God's view of Salvation is a lot more detailed than ours. With all of His heart, He is trying to find ways of presenting us with ways to show and demonstrate His love and favor to us right now. What we are experiencing quite frankly is the heaving and violence of the sin that has taken this world over from the very beginning when we brought it into this world. The disease, poverty, and famine we see around this world were not brought into the world by God, but by our willingness to listen to Satan. God's view of Salvation is wrapped around a plan to save us from ourselves before it is too late. God is not willing that any of us would perish, but I fear that most of us will in the end.
GOD desires to see us with Him, and so He has taken the time to work out ways for us to hear about His plan through people like you and me who are willing to be foolish enough in the eyes of this world to PREACH THE GOSPEL. We can preach in various ways. We can sing about it, we can preach about it to others, or we can live it out in front of this world so they can see how it works in our lives. In God's eyes, the last one is the preferred method.
Although the Christmas celebration is over we are still trying to celebrate a very hollow time of the year if we do not have Christ. The decorations and the songs are all but gone already for this year, but the decisions that we make, and help others to make about their attitude toward God being shared in their life-changing is never more needed. God's heart of love toward us will only go so long, and when He does send Jesus a second time it will not be for our forgiveness, but for the judgment of this world. When we think about this truthfully we have to realize that all of the death, decrease, hatred, and greed of this world are directly tied into the sin that we have brought into this world and have allowed being multiplied over time. God isn't killing innocent lives, and He is not rejecting people who want a better life. God is not orchestrating gangs to come in to disrupt our lives and He isn't the one bringing in the drugs that rob us of our humanity. God has nothing to do with ignoring the rule of decency that tells us not to kill our children while they are in their schools in the study for class. It is all our own fault for the production of sin in our lives 2 Timothy 4:3-4 says it all "For a time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths" My friends God already knows that most of us will not come to Him basically because sin loves the darkness and not the light, and that is why God hates sin so much. It is a deceiver and a liar. If God can get to as many people with the truth about Christ as possible perhaps we can save more people, but it is us who have to go in and get those who don't yet have a clue they are even lost. Will you join with me this coming year, and let us be fishers of men with Christ Jesus! May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
