Title: The Life of a Saved Man!
Contents
Those who are saved are those of Christ Jesus. This is the body of Christ Jesus, in which the old man was crucified with Jesus, the head of disobedience was cut off, and he was united to Christ, the new head of obedience, and rose again with Christ to become one body with Christ.
Therefore, those who are saved will live a new life as Christ, the new head, wants them to be. If a person who claims to be saved does not have a new life of Christ, that salvation is false.
Many people are deceived by false salvation that is not in harmony with Christ, and are living a life of shame and filth. If the head is clean, the body is clean; if the head is holy, the body is also holy. If not, this is a rigged mannequin, not a real life.
Therefore, even though you are not united with Christ, you can lie that you have been saved, but you cannot enter the kingdom of God with that lie. Because the kingdom of God is the place where those who have become the body of Christ enter with the head.
Regarding this, He said, “You shall not lie to one another, having put off the old man and his deeds, and has put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge in the image of him who created him” (Colossians 3:9-10). Again, He said, “Outside the city will be dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and creates lies” (Rev 22:15).
In this evil generation, lies about salvation are covering the whole world. This is the same as it is written, “And we know that we belong to God, and the whole world lies in the evil one...” (1 John 5:19).
To those who belong to false salvation, the Lord says, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father are also you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and cannot stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Everyone speaks his own, because he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
There is evidence that full faith died with him and was resurrected with him. Without this evidence, the belief is false. Because faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Therefore, faith is the faith that saves souls when we show works by that faith.
He testified of this, "My brethren, if a man says he has faith, but has no works, what profit does it have? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and has no daily bread, any of you will say to him, What profit is it that you do not give the body anything necessary for it, saying, Go in peace, keep it warm, and be satisfied? Thus, faith without works is dead. Some say, You have faith, and I have works; Show me, and I will show you my faith by my works” (James 2:14-18).
Is ten thousand talents the end? no. One hundred denarii is the end. If I have been saved, now I am dead and Christ lives in me. Therefore, for those who have been saved, there is a new commandment, “Shouldn’t you also have pity on your brother-in-law as I have compassion on you?” (Matthew 18:33).
Those who have been truly saved have a new commandment written in the heart. This commandment is not the old commandment of the servants, but the new commandment of the sons. It is written, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you” (John 13:34).
He says to those who have this commandment again, “He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him” (John 14:21).
Therefore, unless Christ appears from those who claim to have been saved, they are not children of God, but children of his father the devil. It is the same as it is written, “He is a liar and the father of lies.”
Among those who have received true salvation, there is the Father and the Son. As it is written, “He who has the Son has life, and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:12).
“Children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is just as he is righteous, and he who sins is of the devil, because the devil sins from the beginning. (1 John 3:7-8) Amen, thank you Lord.
