SALVATION: Meaning Of "Work Out Your Salvation".

SALVATION: Meaning Of "Work Out Your Salvation".

"Many preachers have used the above quoted verse as an excuse for bringing the law of Moses back on the pulpit. They erroneously assert that we must work for our salvation. He did not say that. There is big difference between "work for your salvation" and "work out your salvation". Working for your salvation implies that you are trying to get the salvation you don't have by working for it whichever way; but working out your salvation indicates that the salvation is already yours and you must just bring it out."

SALVATION: Saved By Grace

SALVATION: Saved By Grace


"Our salvation is the most supernatural phenomenon anywhere in the universe. How God managed to bring about our salvation all by Himself is a miracle beyond description. We must emphasize that God saved us all by Himself without our participation. Even if we wanted to help God, we had no sense and capacity to even imagine He was upto something as gracious as saving us from death. He did it while we were busy sinning. The Son of God bled and died a shameful death to save us. It was all by grace."

SALVATION: Saved From What?

SALVATION: Saved From What?

"Do people know what they are saved from when they say they are saved? I recently watched a question and answer session and I was stunned by some of the answers Christians gave concerning their salvation.  Is it true that most Christians love the idea of Christianity but do not know what it's all about? Well, James helps to clarify in simple terms concerning salvation that he who is converted is saved from death."

SALVATION: True Meaning.

SALVATION: True Meaning.

"Jesus did not come to make bad people good; He came to make dead people live. That's the true meaning of salvation. A saved man is not a reworked man or a man who changed his ways. A saved person is one who has been born from death. Anyone who is not born again is dead as far as God is concerned. Many people in churches focus on trying to change people's behaviors. They think the Bible is a code of conduct given to straighten out mischievous apples among us. Well that's not all the truth. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." John 6:63. The Word is life, to breathe upon those dead in sin."

Partakers Of The Heavenly Calling.

"We have all been called to Christlikeness. God has purposed from the beginning to have our lives shaped and conformed to that of Jesus. This is a high calling to which we have been called and we must answer the call. Christlikeness now is not impossible because we have put off the old man who grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts and we have put on the new man who after God is created in righteousness and true holiness"

Partakers Of That One Bread.

"Christianity is not a religion. Religion recognizes a great chasm between the worshipper and the worshipped and sometimes seeks to widen it so that no one can attain its highest ideals so people can be in continual pursuit of an illusive god. That's not Christianity. We did not look for God neither do we live in unending pursuit of Him. God came in Christ looking for us, and when He found us He made us one with Himself. He called Himself the Bread of life and now that we are joined with Him as one Spirit, are all partakers of that one Bread."

Partakers Of Christ

Partakers Of Christ

"Christ is not just an idea, He is a person. More than a person Christ is also a spiritual place in God; and being called a partaker of Christ is something everyone should wish for because therein lies all the spiritual blessings anyone could ever dream of. When you come into Christ you are blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. There is nothing a believer lacks that God has not provided for in Christ. Christ is that place where you come and all things are made available.  It's a place of abundance, not lack; blessings not cursings; celebration and not misery."

Partakers Of His Promise In Christ.

Partakers Of His Promise In Christ.

"God came all by Himself,  defeated death all by Himself, and rose from the dead all by Himself, for He is God all by Himself. His own arm brought salvation because no one was able and worthy to save. He fulfilled all the promises He made  to Adam, Abraham, the Jews and the prophets when He died and rose again; the same promises of which the Gentile church is a partaker."
