SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST Rosa Enid Cruz Roque July 1, 2015
Salvation through Jesus - (This is LOVE)
God knew what was coming to this world and because of that He sent His only son to die. Through Jesus Christ you can be save. He made this sacrifice for you. Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life for your salvation.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Repentance
God wants every body to be save. He doesn’t want anybody to perish.
Judgment through flood – In Noah’s time people perished through a flood. The meaning of the rainbow is this - Genesis 9:12-15
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. God was not going to destroy the people again with water.
Judgment through fire - This time it will be by fire
2 Peter 3:6-11
By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. (These are the consequences of sin)
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (This is mercy)
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives.
God loves everybody and want everybody to be save but we have to accept Him as our Savior and obey God Word.
Everything He ask of us is for our own good. He knows better than we do. Study the scriptures and look for what He ask of us and look also for the end of time signs
