Listen in Silence! What do you hear?
We must never give up when it comes to Salvation!
When has anyone given up on being accepted into the realm of God; Heaven forever? Perhaps for a lot of people this may not be a question many ponder about. But, it should be an essence that those who believe in the very Passion that Christ endured, since it is through his Crucifixion that our sins were forgiven. We know most people will adhere to Good Friday and then go on in secular life as if nothing has changed.
There may always be questions regarding the idea of the Church and its doctrines that ask us to change from the attraction of sin when living a modern life-style without all the rules and demands on our time free from Sunday Worship.
It is easy to tune in to Christian TV channels and hear the same theme preached over and over. Each minister and preacher will use his/her own style of getting the message to those who will listen and as all these proponents of getting the gospel before those who are interested some listeners will hear them and then change the channel.
As we write the same theory of Christ’s mission by having the Holy Spirit touch souls that may need or are sent to read our work, some will read it enthusiastically while others may discard the efforts to reach that one soul who has looked for an answer from God. Salvation has become a life-saving theme that the bible initiates from the urging of God before sin entered men’s souls.
All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. The purpose and power of God’s word is for all people, at all times in every circumstance, offering life, truth and equipping us to live fully for God. (2 Tim 3: 16 - 17).
I will bless the Lord at all times; praise shall be always in my mouth. My soul will glory in the Lord that the poor may hear and be glad. (Ps 34: 1 -3).
Following the premise of God’s desire to forgive every sinner no matter what the degree exists is a probable assurance if only the sinner turns and finds the answer to what salvation is all about. No human entity could ever parallel how tolerant God is when it comes to mercy. Be assured, anyone who has a difficult time accepting this and believes only he will get to heaven, once he repents has a lesson to learn. There might be some who will struggle to confess their sins and ask for forgiveness, but God hears every cry for forgiveness and responds equally to those who are sorry.
Mercy, the very essence of God’s eternal love,for his creatures, is beyond the mind of man. Yet, all of us, sinners and those who don’t believe in mercy, are standing on the pinnacle of eternal love and a forgiveness that is spelled Salvation!
