Salvation belongs to the lord

Update: January 11, 2019

Psalm 37:39-40 KJV
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Psalm 62:7 KJV
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Isaiah 43:11 KJV
11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

Isaiah 45:21 KJV
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

That is right as he is the one who paid the price in full. Not us. He did it. We cannot ad to what he did. By his stripes we have been healed. He is the rejected corer stone and the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. And of course the world truly is deceived. As it is written light came into the world but the world perceived darkness. If you experienced joy, sorrow and things as a human being you may ask why is there so much evil, suffering and sorrow in the world. You may be someone who served in the wars, or a police officer or you may have served in the Army and seen things unspeakable. They say many soldiers suffer many scars when they return from service. In this world there are people that "appear" blessed beyond measure and those who were born to just suffer. Very true. There are blessings and cursing according to the gospel but God is love and he hears the prayers of those who love him and are righteous. None the less I encourage you to seek him/pray as he came to seek and save the lost. There are various bible verses (Scriptures) that talk about salvation being from the lord and belonging to him. Matter of fact Jesus Christ (Yeshua) said those who refuse to pickup "their cross" and follow him are not worthy of him. He said to follow him and let the dead bury the dead. What!!! In him there is life eternal and everlasting. There is spiritual life and salvation. He IS the lamb that takes away the sins of the world and the SAVIOR.  He said foxes have dens and birds have nests but the son of man has no place to lay his head. Why? Because the world rejected him and the totality of his gospel message. The world is lost in sin and the Jews rejected their own savior. It was written that is what would happen/be so and it did. He was a threat to the Jewish religious leaders and the government was on his shoulders. BUT! he said his Kingdom was not of this world. He demonstrated love even to his enemies. He gave his life so and made a door of salvation possible but you must do your part and accept him/believe on him/follow him.

So why is there so much evil in this fallen world? Mans heart is abundantly wicked  and severed the relationship with his creator God. God gives us the choice and he provided grace until all be fulfilled. Christ said those things written about him need to be fulfilled. Eve was deceived as humans are. Christ said without him you cannot do nothing. See, before Abraham he and the father were one. Life is impossible without him but of course many cannot understand what this means. Many are told evolution did it. God did in 6 days just as it is written. He said he and the father would come and live in those who obey and come to him. Matter of fact he said no-one who comes to him in heart will be turned away. That is people who are serious and sincere in their hearts will not be turned away. Only the truth can set you free. People are easily deceived and led astray. Man's heart is abundantly wicked and who can know it. We become "enslaved" to things that deceive us and give us a false sense of life. He is the way and the life. Man proved he cannot obey God. His purposes are greater than ours and we have to lean on his understanding. I know sometimes its not so easy. Do you think the Apostles did not struggle with this? Of course they did.  Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) ^"12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

But there is a greater reason. On top of this Satin is the prince of this world and the whole whole lies in his deception and influence. A man or woman MUST be born again to enter the Kingdom of God.

  Christ gave us the great commission to get people saved. God gave us the Apostles, Bible, Prophets, prophecy and his only begotten son. What proof? ISRAEL! He provided a way to get saved and even healed and fed people. He provided the earth and water and all the trees that bear fruits, rivers, ocean, sun and moon, and incredible animals. Yet we are without belief and Satin comes quickly to steel the word of God away from them that are quick to abandoned the faith/belief. Above I referenced scripture to do with salvation. Psalms 3: also talks about salvation. Revelation 7:9-17 is profound and speaks of the coming glory in front of the throne of God as the Angels Worship God because of those in white robes that paid with their testimony/blood as they stood their ground for the word of God and for their faith in the lamb.  They cried out with a loud voice for their lives that were taken from them and are told others being their fellow servants, brothers and sisters will follow in their footsteps before their deaths on earth will be avenged. God is faithful. Man rejected the light and makes the choice to follow his own path and not Gods.

The bible talks about a new songs being sung in revelations.That was about who was worthy to open the seal being the (7) seals of the book that was sealed. Only the lamb was worthy. No Angel or anyone on earth was/is worthy to open those seals but the lamb who takes away the sins of the world and he is the Savior so YES Salvation belongs to the lord.

Revelations 5.⁸ "And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints." The lamb is worthy of praise. Amen

In conclusion faith and trust must be put in God and his redemptive plan of salvation. In his word. Prayers are important. Salvation is not complex and comes with simplicity. God would like people to believe on his "only begotten son" so they could be saved and inherit the Kingdom come. It's true its not a bunch of "rules" that will save you but it's life in Christ. It's what he did as he said "it is finished" and we need to say YES to GOD when he comes knocking.  The faith of a mustard seed can move mountains. So many say NO and that is one reason there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth on judgment day.  Sure we are told to work out our salvation with trembling and to fear God because he is saying, hell exists, I am the lord and there is no other. We are without excuse. God humbles the proud as it is written. The bible says that love covers many sins. The bible is the GOOD news and it is true. You don't want to get to that great white throne judgment seat of Christ and be cast out because "IF I ONLY" "IF" and you certainly don't want to hear "I don't know you". Wake UP! He said his sheep hear his voice, obey him and follow him. His disciples, his called out ones, his Apostles, those who care and love him and trust him are the children of God. Ask him into your life and tell him you want to know him and you believe in him. Believe in your hearts and have faith. Seek and you will find. What God said about himself "And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me." AMEN
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9 (KJV)

Remember death could not hold him down nor could the grave. He is risen. Give him thanks and praise. Sing songs glorifying him and preach that gospel unto the ends of the earth. 

AMEN
