What is Salvation.

[Behold]

What is Salvation?

What is it?

Salvation is Jesus.
He Himself IS Salvation.
He is YOUR Salvation.
So, if you have Jesus, you have Salvation.
Is Jesus in you?
Then you have Salvation.

If we look at the parts that make up salvation.....
What are they?
They are all Jesus :

He is Grace.
He is the Blood Atonement.
He is Eternal Life.
He is The Resurrection.
He is the Bridge who reconnects sin forgiven man with Holy God.
Jesus is Righteousness.
Jesus is Salvation.

When Paul was in Antioch, He gave us the pure understanding of what to preach and how to understand the Gospel.
Look at Acts 13:38 -39.
Paul said 2 things.
1. Through this Man, the Messiah, you have forgiveness of Sins. (All)
Jesus bore them all.
2. Everyone who is born again is justified. IN other words, you are eternally completed by becoming the very righteousness of God.
Jesus is God. So, when you are "in Christ", you are In God.

Notice what has happened to the born again person.
There is a substitution, a literal transformation whereby what they were is now changed into what they are become and remain.
See, when you are born again, you leave the darkness and enter the Light Of Christ.
You leave the past and become the eternal Life.
You end.... and God's Righteousness becomes your NOW you are.
And this change, from sinner to Saint, from ungodly to Godly, from unrighteous to the righteousness of God in Christ, is performed by GOD unto the believer.
Are you born again? Then you are Changed and forever.
Before you were God's creation, but now that you are born again, you are God's CHILD....family.
Old things, the old you, the sinful ungodly you, has passed away and the new you, the New Creation in Christ has now become the REAL You.

And notice. You can do nothing to cause this, and you can do nothing to undo it.

Here is the thing you can never change, after you are born again, even if you mess up and fall, and fail, and commit carnal deeds..
What you can't change, is the fact that God does not see them, he only sees the You that has been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb.
Most of you worry about what your old man is doing, or might do tomorrow, while God the Father does not even SEE your old man.
Paul tells you to see that old you as DEAD, and that is because in God's eyes, its dead.
You are not the former you, you are now the NEW CREATION.
God only sees the REAL you. The Eternally Forgiven you. The Righteous you.
He only sees you now, as what Jesus has recreated you to be by His own Blood Atonement.

See the new you? Its the one that is born again.
Thats the REAL you.
Thats the only YOU that exists in eternity.
Thats the only you that exists in the Eyes of God, today, tomorrow, and forever.

Amen its all about Him from cover to cover !

 

[Behold]

Amen its all about Him from cover to cover !

Always.

Salvation has nothing to do with our self effort.
Newbie believers and terrible theologians and preachers, pastors, and pope's, read "work out your salvation", and they mistranslate it inside themselves and teach it as the Heresy of : "work to stay saved, finish what Jesus started but didn't finish, so, you go and finish that for Him".

Salvation, and the Grace of God only have to do with What God Finished using a Cross, Blood, Death, and The Resurrection.

Jesus is Righteousness.

This righteousness is practical (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6) given to us as a free gift (Romans 5:17).

Here is the thing you can never change, after you are born again, even if you mess up and fall, and fail, and commit carnal deeds..
What you can't change, is the fact that God does not see them, he only sees the You that has been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb.

Eze 33:11, Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Eze 33:12, Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
Eze 33:13, When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
Eze 33:14, Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
Eze 33:15, If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Eze 33:16, None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
Eze 33:17, Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
Eze 33:18, When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
Eze 33:19, But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
Eze 33:20, Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
