who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Protected…..through faith….for a salvation…. in the last time’….

This truth is a most freeing truth, a most joy filled truth, a truth that causes the heart to be light with joy and expectation…. That life does not end with this world, that this is not all there is, that this is but a staging area for the growing of a life that is to die for….

This last statement ‘a life to die for’ is a statement of fact that if taken to heart is the strength and security of one’s heart before God…. For of a truth Christ had to die before He could be raised, the same is true for those that would inherit salvation, they too must die to the life of this world…. This death of selfhood will happen at the departure time of the body into eternity, but if one would desire a full reward one’s dying to the life of this world, which is the life of self must start in the now….

For being conformed to the life of Christ in one is the goal of one’s salvation in Christ… For an ever present faith, in the ever present now, is that faith that brings the life of Christ to the forefront in one’s life to experience…. For the faith that joins itself to Christ’s death is that faith that joins itself to Christ’s resurrection to a new life, all to be experienced and enjoyed from the moment of salvation onwards to the culmination of the salvation to be revealed in the last time….

This truth embraced causes the heart to jump with joy, for turning one’s faith and hope into God’s love and mercy, willing to die to selfhood, for knowing that God is love and that love is pointed towards one, which love will be experienced as one wills to die to one’s selfhood and trust Him to live His life in and through one…..

Be blessed in Him living His life in and through, to the enjoying of the salvation that is to be found in Christ….

The King James also has 'kept' at 1 Peter 1.5.

I love the 'keep's at Hebrews 7.25 and Jude 24: 'able to save'; 'able to keep'.....
