The Author of salvation

[savedbygrace57]

Heb 5:9And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;False religon today, and as always, contributes salvation to their obedience to God in one way or the other, be that their faith, water baptism, confession or repentance, faithfulness to church formality and creeds ect... But the sacred writer here tells us, that all them that are obeying Jesus christ, do so because He himself is the author of their salvation. In other words, their obedience is resultive of having Jesus christ the author of their salvation, and obedience to him is the fruit of that. The false religons of the world, reverse this, and say that their obedience is the author of their salvation..in other words, they recieve eternal salvation because of personal obedience..whereas gospel obedience is evidence of Having eternal salvation. Jesus christ is the author of our [elect] faith..He himself being a elect of God isa 42 :1Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. He too became the author of faith to them obeying him in faith..His faith is exemplar of the faith he wroughts into His elect church or body, or children given to him before the world began in election..hence we have paul terming it, the faith of Gods elect..titus 1:1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; The faith of Gods elect is authored by Gods elect[Jesus christ], who is the head or captain of the elect..It is by His obedience, not our own obedience, but his obedience, those obeying him are made righteous...rom 5:19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.It is because, He is the author of their eternal salvation, a person becomes obedient to God...Note 1 pet 1:1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.Note , its unto obedience the elect attian, not because of their obedience..but their gospel obedience is wrought into them by the sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost..This obedience is gospel obedience to the faith.. lets look at romans 15:18For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,Notice, its christ work or wroughting by paul, that made the gentiles obedient...obedient to what ? rom 16:26But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:The obedience of faith..the obedience of faith is wrought by christ to the gentiles, the nations..this is Jesus meaning in jn 12:32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw[wrought] all men[nations] unto me. This obedience of faith is wrought into the elect of God, by the Holy Ghost Sovereign work. The Holy Ghost directs the elect child of God to faith in jesus christ..for he takes of christ victorius blood, and shows it to that individual..jn 16:14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.This shewing is actually revealing to them inwardly Jesus christ..much like what paul meant in gal 1:16To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:This revealing or showing, produces gospel obedience of faith in Jesus christ..He shall glorify me: How does the Holy Ghost glorify Jesus christ ? By bringing that individual to have faith in or trust in Jesus christ..look at eph 1:12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in ChristThis is one of the ways, the Holy Ghost shall glorify christ, by making believers in Him..trusters in him..To believe on or trust in Jesus christ is a gospel command to those born of God 1 jn 3:23And this is his commandment, That we[elect] should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another[elect], as he gave us commandment. This is what it means by: He became the author of eternal salvation, of those obeying him..Also, because of the crucial time of world history, the church age has long ended, and we are now in a period of time called the great tribulation, all churches and denominations are securely owned and operated by satan the man of sin..Gods true people will be obedient and come out of organized religon..This too now is what will characterize those who have had christ as the author of their eternal salvation, they will forsake all ties and fellowship with organized religon and the local churches..May God bless His Israel, even in these terrible times..
