TODAY'S REVELATION: SALVATION: A RELATIONSHIP NOT FOR FEAR OF HELL.
Mark 6:54, "And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,"
MARK 6:53-56
The word "know" can mean many things from as little as "to perceive with the senses or the mind" to a much deeper meaning of "a thorough experience with."
This knowing, then, is not just intellectual, but a personal, intimate understanding. Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ. Eternal life is having an intimate, personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus the Son. This intimacy with God is what salvation is all about. Forgiveness of our sins is not the point of salvation. This intimacy with the Father is. Of course, Jesus did die to purchase forgiveness for our sins because unforgiven sins block us from intimacy with God. Sin was an obstacle that stood between God and us. It had to be dealt, with and it was. But anyone who views salvation as only forgiveness of sins and stops there is missing out on eternal life.
If you're getting offended then you shouldn't read this next part if not you'll get more offended and still get born again.
Are you still here then get ready some religious veil will be taken off your eyes right away. Let's travel deeper into this thing.👇
Salvation was intended to be presented as the way to come back into harmony with God. Instead, it has often been presented as the way to escape the problems of this life and later the judgment of hell. Many have come into the faith due to fear of hell which isn't right,salvation is not for fear of death or hell,every man on the surface of this earth has been saved by Christ finished works, without your contributions, the only way you can have intimacy with eternal life is to accept Jesus in faith and not in fear,then your salvation is quaranteed and you can never lost it,no one losses salvation for fear of sin or whatever. "WHAT" that should be what's going on in your mind now,what does he really mean.
Stay with me lets nail it.👇
it is a hard truth and I know many will wanna smack me for that,but its the truth,Christ saved you, you never saved yourself, salvation isn't your works you earned it by Christ finished works and therefore its a free gift from God, stop living your Christian life for fear of sin,fear of hell and fear of death,you have eternal life,Christ lives in you,you never worked for it, just accept who you are in Christ and live in your newness of life.
Remember this:👇
It is possible to get born again with that kind of thinking, but more often than not, people who get saved through that type of ministry view the Lord as someone to help them through times of crisis and not someone to know in an intimate way. Jesus died for us out of love (Jn. 3:16) - a love that longed to have intimate communion with man.
Most non-believers are so occupied with their "hell on earth" that they don't really think or care about their eternal future. They are fed up with religion. They are looking for something that will fill the emptiness inside. Only an intimate relationship (eternal life) with our Father can do that. We need to tell them.
Let's get many out there out of religion and fear,let's get many out there out of suicide and doubt, don't stop preaching Jesus for this is who they need in their lives.
