SAVED!


SAVED!


Here is the message of our bibles it is that we are to saved in the name of Jesus Christ. However, of greater importance; saved from what? This is not a trick question let us illustrate this point.

There once was a man who was the best marksmen in the world, whatever, he shot at he always hit the bullseye. One day a young man came to see him the young lad ask him how is it possible to always hit the center of the bullseye?

The old marksmen got out a very old bow and arrow and slowly shot the arrow into a nearby tree. Then he got a can of paint and painted a bullseye so that the arrow was perfectly in the center of it!

The young man was very upset: “That’s cheating, what they say about you are all a lies!” The old marksman smile a wicked grin and said: “But I never miss and I always win!”

What’s the moral of this story it is that religion has painted a bullseye around the meaning of being saved. Yes, it is true lets prove it. How many people hate God because their child a friend, a husband or wife dies or is killed while others live even though they were a good Christian’s?

The world is full of such stories found in books and many, many movies. Still religion has no answer? If they give one, it not very satisfying and/or it a legal explanation.

1.
Saved From What?

People die the good and the bad, the old and young, the religious, and the non-religious why did God save some and not others? What is the truth of who gets saved while others don’t.

Lets be clear hear the word saved has become little more than a slogan on a bill board, an advertisement to get people to go to church. But lets listen to the very word of God telling Mary the mother of Jesus why he sent his Son to earth.

Matthew 1:21 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

We are factually according to God to be saved not in our flesh, but from our sins! You see, the bullseye has been drawn around many false teachings regarding being saved. Yes, its true, those saved in their flesh have written many books and told their stories in many movies about being saved from death by God as if they had greater purpose and/or faith than others.

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Can we see, can we judge those who has been saved from their sins? Not really, but we can see, hear, and know all those saved in their flesh, to live on another day?

Romans 1:17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."{Habakkuk 2:4}

2.
Missing the Point of Salvation

Which is greater to us, saving us from our sins, or saving this life now?

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

This is why Christ teaching at his time were so controversial God’s people were saved many, many, times in their flesh before Christ. That is a true and factual statement of history of God’s people on earth before Christ.

But the leader of Christianity was not saved in his flesh, Christ Jesus, he died a violent death on a torture stake, mocked as if God was punishing him for saying he was he king of the Jews.

Matthew 27:42 "He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

Mark 15:30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

However, Christ death saved us from our sins, but not our flesh!

If proof of salvation is saving us in our flesh than Christianity is the most defeated religion ever in the history of mankind. Mixing the Old law for the flesh into the New Covenant has become the bullseye for false religion.

1 Corinthians 4:9 For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death.
3.

For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

1 Corinthians 4:13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

This bullseye of salvation causes great confusion so where every funeral is little more than religious leader becoming apologist for God lack of saving power.

2 Corinthians 4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

2 Corinthians 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Moreover, if one is struck by a disease and makes bold predictions that their faith in God will save them and then all to often dies God is mocked, and faith become little more than a mentally in balanced person clinging to this life at all cost.

Colossians 2:8 Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

If the simple truth be told: “God has saved me from my sins, he has promised me nothing more, and I glory in his salvation of my soul.”

1 Timothy 1:15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

4.

Is that not enough, isn’t that the greatest gift a person could be given? We understand some people have been saved in their flesh even some of Christ disciples, but be wise that is not the message of Spirit and truth given us after Christ resurrection and glorification.

Hebrews 9:26 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

The crushing the spirit of little one and/or weak is not in Christ; to teach salvation of the flesh first and foremost delineating saving us from our sin last, or not even mention it at all that is a crime against why Christ came to save us from in God’s love.

Matthew 12:20 He won't break a bruised reed. He won't quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.

Luke 9:56 For the Son of Man didn't come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." They went to another village.

Luke 5:32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Luke 11:46 He said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Let us understand, salvation, eternal life did not happen for God’s people until Christ saved us from our sins, once for all times, our being accounted sinless by Christ righteousness gives us eternal life,

5.
before that, thousands of years into the history of God’s people they
did not get eternal life, or did they have their sins permanently blotted out once for all times!

2 Corinthians 4:18 while we don't look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

We have received the reward they sought by faith, we have received the reality of our faith in Jesus Christ eternal life because our sins are removed once for all times!

Heb.11:39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn't receive the promise, 11:40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

John 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 3:36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys{The same word can be translated "disobeys" or "disbelieves" in this context.} the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

6.


Are we more worthy than them, or we a better breed of humans, do we have greater faith, or has God freely forgave us our sins, by his undeserved kindness in Christ precious blood?

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

Each of us must judge of that statement, but be mindful Christ judged no one in the flesh, he came to save us from our sins, not our flesh.

1 Corinthians 1:29 that no flesh should boast before God.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

2 Corinthians 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds.

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
