Greetings in Jesus Name;
Salvation is the main thing, and this world is flooding things to get your mind off salvation, and think of things that keep you too busy to study what God would want to be studied.
Think of this important point; God redeems the whole Earth the same way.
He Redeems each person, and it is in three parts !
Justification, sanctification, and filling with the Holy Ghost. Death, burial, and resurrection. Perfect in three.
Complete in three stages.
#1-----The first 2,000 years, God baptized the world with Water.
#2----The next 2,000 years, the Lord baptized the world with the blood
of the Lamb at Calvary.
#3-----We are fast approaching the third 2,000 years, the sixth day, and this
time God will baptize the Earth with the Holy Ghost and fire, and burn all the
evil off it, and all the man-made stuff, all the worldly stuff, and Christ
Himself in the flesh will live on this earth......
You see that is the way to true Salvation, that
is if you want Christ to live in your earth, and the first three letters
in Earth, is EAR !
You see in the beginning, in Genesis, on the sixth day, God created Adam and Eve, and told them to rule over the works of God's hands...So we are now approaching 6,000 years, the sixth day, and there will be a Rapture, and this time Christ the second and last Adam with His Bride, the second and last Eve will rule over the works of God's Hands.
God is in control, and what He set out to do, will be done, regardless of anything that may come. Now as a witness to this; A butterfly lays an egg, and an old ugly worm, called a caterpillar hatches out, and he eats up the plants all his worm-life.
One day he spins himself into a cocoon,
and dies out to the worm-life, dies out to the world, and then he comes out as
a born-again butterfly with a different nature. He does not eat up the
plants any more, but pollinates them so they too can be born again, or multiply. The
way to salvation. From sinner to saint. You see the caterpillar is the type of
a sinner, and the butterfly is the born again saint. Another witness to
true salvation.
Do you know the difference between a grain of corn that is soft and you can eat it, and it is called, a roasting ear. You can plant that grain, and it will ROT !......But if you separate that grain of corn from the cob, from the stalk, and let it die to its "FIRST LIFE", it will be born again when you plant it, and baptize it with water....See how you receive true-salvation?
The same plan of Salvation set forth at Pentecost in the upper Room still is the way of Bible salvation. (Hebrews 13;8). In Romans 6, we see God saying, ye that are dead to sin, how do you live any longer therein? Then He says he that is dead is free from sin, then says do not yield your members to unrighteousness, but yield your members to God. You by the Grace of God can endure temptation, and if you sin, get up, repent, and brush yourself off, and march on.
He goes on to say in 8;10, that if Christ is in you, your body is dead, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Then He goes on to say in verse 13, For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY (put to death) the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
God speaks of putting off the old man Adam, and putting on the new man Christ the second and last Adam. In Matthew 16;24-Then said Jesus unto His Disciples, "If any man will come after ME, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.." He went to Calvary and died in the flesh, and He says you do that also. See that?
Now He continues on and said this: (This now is in my language)...if you take your life in the flesh, and live it that way till you die, you will lose it, but if you crucify that life-style, give your body and life to ME, I will come in and live MY life through you, and that way, you will save and find your life better in this life, and also in eternity with Me, as I was selecting who wanted to live with ME eternally, so I gave them this test.
In the love of the Gospel,
