Although we can know what God has promised for our future...
John 5:24 KJV
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
People are naturally succeptable to believing...
By SIGHT, rather than HEARING.
One of the HIGHLIGHTS, of Jesus coming To Earth...was foretold by Isaiah...was Revealed by John the Baptist.
He (Jesus) "shall" SAVE you FROM your sins.
The WAY (Jesus), gives the explicit Revealing of TRUTH, of HOW, any "living soul" , upon this Earth, CAN, become SAVE-ED...NOW.
NOW...is the NEW News. A New Promise/ Covenant...
The Covenant, WAS/IS, "expressly", For "particular" People.
WHO are the "particular" people?
Matt 15:
[
24] But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the
lost sheep
of the house of Israel.
Twelve were chosen, one a devil, he replaced, and their mission...To Hear, Learn from the Source, The Word of God, and Teach The Lost, of the house of Israel..."their awaited Salvation has come unto Them".
They ^ First.
Lastly, the Gentile's were given Consideration for the Same Offering of HOW to receive Salvation, NOW.
Acts 9:
[
10] And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
[
11] And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
[
12] And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
[
13] Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
[
14] And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
[
15] But
the Lord said unto him, (Ananias) Go thy way: for he (Saul)
is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
They ^ the Last and the First
The WHAT and WAY and HOW and TO WHOM
Is "expressly" offer-ed, for the receiving NOW.
Heb 10:
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.
The KEY...has never Changed: even from Adams day:
(Offering to Adam..
Gen 2
[
16] And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
[
17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Gen 3
[
22] ...and NOW
lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
An Individual Must reach out and TAKE the OFFERING.
Some Learned, some DID take the Offering :
And?
Accomplished...Sav-ed
Luke 7
[
50] And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath
saved thee; go in peace.
Luke 18:
[
42] And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith
hath saved thee.
1Cor 1:[
18] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which
are saved it is the power of God.
Some are wondering How to become Sav-ed
Some Shall be Sav-ed
Some Might be Sav-ed
Some Hope to be Sav-Ed
Some Are Sav-ed
