Simply stated, we are saved to be with God.
As I listen to what people talk about, it seems to me the common understanding is that it's all about us, and how we benefit. I propose that the primary reason we are being rescued is that God is unwilling to let go of His original Plan. It's about Him.
Much love!
I would agree, saying, Saved "UNTO" Him.
Seems primary faction Taught by men is Saved "FROM" Hell.
I have always favored, Saved "UNTO" Him.
Basis being: (in Brief)
•We begin as "His Creation"
•Freewill allows us a Choice, to BE His, or Reject BEING His.
•Every man who freely chooses to BE His;
•In essence Has Just Agreed to BE:
The Lord God Almighty"s "INHERITANCE".
On a very basic thought, via Scripture:
Inheritance "protocol" was/is a very big deal, highly prized. (For men).
(And much ado about men caring for or squandering flippantly ... their inheritance.)
Personally I believe that "highly prized" inheritance (for men), is reflective of a highly prized "Inheritance", men can become "unto" the Lord God Himself.
EX 34:
[
9] And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and
take us for thine inheritance.
A big deal IMO- when a Natural CREATED man, is Against God, and can freely choose to Be Forgiven, and Be MADE Whole (body, soul, spirit) AS an Acceptable, Wholly, Holy Inheritance OF the Lord God Almighty.
(And no doubt, The Lord God would have the Utmost Regard and Care of His Inheritance.)
Glory to God,
Taken
