Saved Through Faith and Faith Alone
HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY
We aren’t saved by the death of Christ, we are saved by his LIFE! We were all born spiritually dead and in need of life. Because we were all born in Adam, who was created Spiritually alive, but chose death.
God told Adam that on the day that you eat of the forbidden fruit, you will surely die. Well Adam didn’t die a physical death that day, or none of us would be here. He died a spiritual death.
What is death in God’s economy you might ask? Death is separation from God. When Adam died the Spirit of God, departed from him. The Spirit of God in man is what makes us fully human, and truly alive. We were all born in Adam, and we too were born separated from the Life of God, through physical birth. In order to become whole once again as Adam was created we must be born again. Born from above, whereby the Life of God comes to live in us, and we become whole as we were intended to be. As Pascal once said, “What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace?
This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself”
The Spirit and very Life of God is what is missing and can never be filled by anything else but Jesus Christ himself. So if we want to be restored to true humanity, we must be indwelt by the Living God.
How can God, creator of Heaven and Earth come to live in you? There is but one way, and that is through faith in his Son, Jesus Christ the only righteous one. Once we come to Faith in Him, his birth, and his death for us on the cross some 2,000 years ago, whose sacrifice took away completely the sins of the entire World. From Adam through eternity. His resurrected Life on the third day. And come to the knowledge that none of our so-called good works can ever please a perfect God. And that we are relying on nothing but the indwelling Life of JESUS CHRIST to save us, as the Bible say’s “Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.”
At that very moment we pass from death unto LIFE everlasting and God himself will raise us up at the last day, and we will continue to live with Christ Jesus throughout eternity.
We can never find what we are looking for in this world, only in the Life of our creator will we ever be whole. So choose for yourself this day, to remain as we were born, spiritually dead, separated from God? Or by coming to real Life through Faith in Jesus? It’s a matter of Life and death. You have NOTHING to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain. You are loved perfectly and accepted just as you are, by the GOD of LOVE, Jesus. Who died for you, so he could give his Life to you, and thereby live his Life in and through YOU.
Hebrews 10
Christ's Sacrifice Once for All
1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2 If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, 'Here I am--it is written about me in the scroll--
I have come to do your will, O God.'"
8 First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made). 9 Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time ONE sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 13 Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, 14 because by one sacrifice he has made PERFECT FOREVER those who are being made holy.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16 "This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds."
17 Then he adds:
"THEIR SINS AND LAWLESS ACTS I WILL REMEBER NO MORE"
18 And where these HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
A Call to Persevere
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of FAITH, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge OF THE TRUTH, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. 34 You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For in just a very little while,
"He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back,
I will not be pleased with him."
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
Ephesians Chapter 2
1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by GRACE you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through FAITH--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
One in Christ
11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)-- 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
