The death of Christ on Calgary's hill is proof man could not save himself. It is proof that the only people that will be saved will be the born again. Those that have been led to conviction by the Holyspirit to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. That is good news for Christian's because it is a God thing to be saved, it is not of man such as; you putting it all together correctly and the father says "ok they are thinking right." That is the convicting presence and power of the Holyspirit to save humanity by convicting sinner's. There is a belief that has gone around for some time that says everyone will be saved in the end, even Satan and his fallen Angel's. The cross is proof that is not so because there would be no need for a death or savior. I know that sounds good and as you get to know your father as father and not just the angry Old Testament God! that people want to believe that would be true but it's not. All inclusive (gospel) which was the name of one of the last threads before I even thought about the doctrine of man towards and all inclusive gospel. That was not my message, I was not talking about that doctrine that circulates through Christianity called all inclusive.
That is why we preach "the birthing" you must be born again Jesus said. All of your bible understanding is going to hinge on you seeing and knowing something about this birthing that has taken place. Jesus was very clear when he said in John 3:3, you must be born again. I understand that is a phase thrown around by alot of people and God be their judge not me. But what we do know according to scripture is unless you have been born again you cannot see the Kingdom of God. Verse 5 says you "cannot enter the kingdom of God" unless you are born again. What is so important about this passage of scripture? It will be the dividing line for all Christianity, you do not have to judge everyone and everything because it is written that only the born again can know the things of God and enter into them.
It is the key to your understanding, knowing what happened the moment you believed will be your freedom in understanding the deep things of God. It will be the same Holyspirit that brought you to Christ that will lead you all the days of your life. He will be your teacher, a guide, a paraclete (one that goes along side), so you need to know what he teaches. The Holyspirit does not try to make a scriptural genius out of a believer, he sheds light on what is written and his main ministry is to reveal Christ in you to you. He does alot of things but his main ministry is exactly what Jesus said he would do when he comes. He will teach you me Jesus said, he will reveal all things and bring all things to your remembrance. The Holyspirit is the revealer and teacher of the indwelling Christ, you can learn him as Paul said because the Holyspirit will teach you Christ.
Why would a believer need to know the Christ that is in them? Because he is your life, you have no life of your own, the only life you have according to Galatians 2:20 is Christ. You know how you can put your bible together for understanding? Allow the Holyspirit to reveal Christ in you. It will be in the element of time that he does so, but believers need to know that "the revelation of the indwelling Christ" exsists in the mean time, and it will come by the written word of God. Remember no private interpretation, what that does is eliminate guru's in cult leaders right off the bat, they all have a private word from God to do what they are doing. I know one group has it's leader that had a revelation by looking into his hat. I know that sounds strange to believers but that is how it happens, people get a God mentality over another and before long they are telling everyone they got a word from God.
The problem with that is we already have the written word from God, everything you need to know about salvation and you living it "is written," thank God he has it fixed for honest on going believers to never be deceived if they want to know him. Him only, not about him but him who is life and the revealer of the Father. Jesus said you cannot see the father unless he reveals him. Bless you.
1 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
2 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. - Galatians 1:11-12.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: - Galatians 1: 15-16.
