Title: People whose salvation is confirmed
Contents
God sent his Son into the world as a man so that all people might follow him and become children of God. Jesus Christ, who came in the flesh according to this will, became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, obedient to the point of death.
It is written, "While he was in the flesh, he offered up supplications and supplications with loud cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, and was called by God high priest in the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 5:7-10).
You can never reach salvation without knowing the source of salvation. That is why he testified, “This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3).
Even though he was in the flesh, he denied the flesh and took the path that leads to salvation. It is written, “As Jesus was speaking to the crowd, his mother and his brothers stood outside to speak to him, and one said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside to talk to you.” “Who is my mother and my brothers?” He stretched out his hands and said to the disciples, “Look at my mother and my brothers, whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother” (Matthew 12:46). -50) It is the same as the words of evidence.
Also, the Bible says, “He said to his parents, ‘I have not seen them,’ and he did not acknowledge his brothers, nor knew his children, because he kept your word and kept your covenant. I will teach Israel, I will burn incense before you, and whole burnt offerings on your altar. May their wealth, O LORD, be rich, and accept the work of their hands; break the loins of those who rise up against him and those who hate him, so that they do not rise again 33:9-11) was a witness in advance.
Therefore, He said to the crowds, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23), and also, “Jesus said, ‘By the dead, bury their dead. and follow me” (Matthew 8:22), and he also said, “Do not call anyone on earth your father, for one has your Father, who is in heaven” (Matthew 23:9). .
Regarding this, the Bible says, “Behold, we have left all that is ours and followed you,” said Peter. There is no one who will not receive many times as much, and will not receive eternal life in the age to come” (Luke 18:28-30).
Therefore, “Jesus said, “The children of this world marry and are given in marriage; but those who are counted worthy to be found in the other world and to the resurrection from the dead marry and are not given in marriage, and they cannot die again. They are equal to angels, and as children of the resurrection, they are children of God.” (Luke 20:34-36) He spoke of the sure source of salvation.
He also said, “A wife does not have dominion over her own body, only her husband does, and in the same way a husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife has one. This is so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. But I am saying this as an exhortation and not a command. I want all men to be like me. But each one has his own gift from God. and one is like that” (1 Corinthians 7:4-7), and wanted everyone to be like him.
The Apostle Peter also said, “Because Christ has already suffered in the flesh, put yourselves in the same spirit as your armor, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased to be a sinner, and after that, he will no longer pursue the lusts of men, but the will of God. to live the rest of the flesh” (1 Peter 4:1-2). Amen, thank you Lord.
