God created you because He wants a human family to love !!! He wanted us to bear His image/be His representatives, to be in His family forever, living in love and harmony with God who loves us deeply, and enjoying His perfect creation.
In order to allow us the free will for that choice to love Him back and be part of His family, sin entered and put all the plans on hold.
The world may be a mess, but God never gave up on His human family, and is planning on restoring His original plan for His created children to be in His family forever, living in love and harmony, and enjoying His perfect creation, in the new heavens/earth.
Sin separated humanity from God, we were doomed to its penalty, which is death and separation from God. In a mission of unsearchable love and amazing grace, Jesus Christ, who was God, became man, lived a sinless life, was killed and buried, and was physically resurrected by the power of God.This is God's gracious provision of love to redeem humanity into His family forever in heaven, a perfect world as this one was originally intended.
Due to human rebellion in the earlier times of creation (Genesis 3, 6, 11 ), God decided to work through one man Abraham and his seed. Israel would have been a kingdom of priests by through which all other nations (“all other nations” are called gentiles) could be blessed and reconciled to God. Israel rejected Jesus (this is recorded in Matthew Mark Luke and John up until the final rejection in Acts 7). God knew this would happen and had a plan to save gentiles (non-Jewish people) and the world in spite of Israel’s rejection of Jesus. He converted the Apostle Paul as the Apostle to the gentiles in Acts 9 and revealed to him that now anyone could be saved (Jew or gentile) directly by trusting in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. No longer would gentiles have to go through Israel and follow the law to be blessed/saved by God.
God is currently not judging the sin and evil in the world, instead He is pouring out His grace through the finished work of Jesus Christ, wanting all to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. That is why there is evil in the world now. After the rapture, or removing of the church/the body of Christ from the earth, which can happen at any time without notice, God will THEN judge sin and evil in the world during the 7 year tribulation of judgment on the earth. At this time God will turn His attention back to Israel to save them through a remnant that believes. Gentiles in the tribulation, will need to once again be saved by going through Israel’s program which includes faith and works, endure to the end even if it means death for your faith, and not take the mark of the beast. It is much EASIER to be saved now up until the rapture, which can happen anytime without notice.
Jesus paid the difficult price so you may have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God. It is easy to be reconciled back to God for all eternity.
This offer is to all that recognize their sin has separated them from God, and trust in God’s solution to reconcile you back to God forever. Jesus paid the price of your sins to reconcile you back to God.
To be saved what you need to do is simply believe and trust ONLY in the death burial and resurrection of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, to receive Jesus’ righteousness imputed to your account, and eternal life with God.
It is important to not add any works from Israel's program in the Old Testament (before the cross) & Hebrews through Revelation (for the resumption of Israel’s program after the rapture), Matthew Mark Luke John, or Acts 1-7 to the gospel of salvation. The Apostle Paul called adding works to the gospel an accursed gospel that does NOT save. Galatians 1:8-9
Salvation comes from believing and trusting in the death, burial , and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is God's provision for you.
No amount of good works (you think you are saved because you are good enough person on your own), no water baptism, no cleaning up your sins (wrong definition of repent), special prayers or other church / traditions of men are necessary to be saved by Jesus Christ.
Once you are saved you are sealed by the Holy Spirit, and have full assurance of salvation and sin can no longer separate you from God. You cannot lose by moral imperfection what you did not attain by moral perfection. Romans 8:38-39
Once you are saved by believing and trusting the gospel that saves the next steps to learn and grow in God’s grace and learn your new identity and blessings as a member of Jesus’s church (not a denomination or building) , the body of Christ, renew your mind daily by reading and applying the doctrine Jesus gave to the body of Christ through the Apostle Paul in Romans-Philemon . We earn rewards in heaven now by applying and building sound doctrine to the inner man.
We all can definitely sense the increase in evil and the decrease of love in the world. This world is temporal and the new heavens/earth will be beautiful and perfect version of this life for all eternity.
God wants you there in His family for all eternity to show you the riches of His grace and love for you !!!
Acknowledge the your sin has separated you from God and trust and believe the simple gospel that saves today !!!
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
2 Corinthians 5
Lastly if you ask why this has not been taught by mainstream Christian religions/denominations/churches in buildings…….. when it is right in the Bible….well here is why :
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
God's Gospel Of Love For His Creation
To be saved: You not ONLY have to believe in who Jesus is and was and always will be, God became man, you ALSO have to believe and trust only in Jesus’ death burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins, and God’s free gift of eternal life, and to be declared righteous forever in God's eyes. Believe and trust the simple gospel that saves - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 & 2 Corinthians 5:1-20. Trust ONLY in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for your salvation, to be declared righteous by God forever ! Any trust in your own human works and efforts , whether it be moral or religious has zero power to save you.
After you are saved: - Romans 12:2 - To grow in God's grace and learn about your exciting new creature identity and future then renew your mind daily with body of Christ creature doctrine (Romans through Philemon), including praying through the simple gospel that saves every day (see my personal example below) in your own words. New creature / BOC doctrine, is the instruction that Jesus gave the Apostle Paul for the body of Christ creature found in Romans through Philemon. This is how God forms Christ in the inner mind of body of Christ new creature members. This is body of Christ creature doctrine only.
Earn rewards in heaven now: - by applying sound doctrine written to the body of Christ new creature (Romans through Philemon) in your inner man , the Holy Spirit will use the body of Christ creature doctrine to teach you it so Christ be formed in you during the body of Christ new creature dispensation and then you image that love back to others, not taking glory for it before man and or in your own mind ! God gets this glory by you believing that is exactly what you are doing when you love people , imaging Christ ! Because you now understand God's love and forgiveness is forever. Once you trust only in Christ for righteousness you have it and sin can no longer separate you from God. It is that simple !!!. - 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 , Hebrews 11:1-6
The Simple Gospel That Saves throughout all history:
Do you acknowledge your sin has separated you from God/Jesus ( OT did not know exactly who Messiah was and BOC creature did , Jesus = God, Jesus = fullness of God became man, Jesus, finished work (DBR), and renounce any attempt to fix your sin problem and be declared righteous by God by your own good works, moral or religion, or thinking you are too good to go to hell because of your moral and religious works, and trust only in Jesus ( God became man) finished work, which is His death burial and resurrection, for forgiveness of sins , eternal life and Jesus righteousness imputed to your account so God declares you righteous forever and sin can never separate you from God again? yes or no ?
Lastly if you ask why this has not been taught as being this simple by mainstream church I anity = ALL MANS religions/denominations/churches in buildings…….. when it is right in the Bible….well here is why :
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled [a]to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this [b]world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that [c]they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
This is also why the book of Acts is a story of the transition from the Old creature - Israel's program to the New creature the body of Christ. I believe both Peter and Paul were charged with making sure this transition went smoothly and Peter was not supposed to understand body of Christ creature doctrine all together. Paul obvi knew Israel creature doctrine and BOC creature doctrine.
"Creature" is key
The key to learning your direct instruction in the bible
is
creature
2 Timothy 2:15
however we can learn things of God's way versus the way of cain In all books of the bible, some in plain view in His word, and many hidden in His word.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Hebrews 11:1-6
11 Now faith is the certainty of things [a]hoped for, a [b]proof of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old [c]gained approval.
3 By faith we understand that the [d]world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, God testifying [e]about his gifts, and through [f]faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for before he was taken up, he was attested to have been pleasing to God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, [g]in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
To God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be ALL glory both now and forevermore !!!
Grace and peace !!!
Grace and peace !!!
