The gospel of today is but a half-gospel...taken from the bible...but not in complete form.
There is a saved from...and a saved to. Saved from the world (Egypt)...to be saved to the kingdom walk (the Promised land).
But people are taught that there is but one step into salvation...the saved FROM part. And this is to ignore the purpose of the gospel...salvation INTO the kingdom life of the Spirit.
Heb. 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
Should we be smug about our initial salvation...or fear? What does the bible say? What do the modern churches teach?
Have we entered into a guarantee or a race? What do people WANT to believe? What is the truth?
