1 Thess 5:9AMP: For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath [He did not select us to condemn us], but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)
Beloved, believe me, it is very annoying when you hear some Christians, even so called ministers, talk about our salvation as though Jesus didn’t finish what He was sent by the Father to do.
Look, Jesus Christ wasn’t like Moses who only brought Israel out of Egypt and preserved them but couldn’t bring them eventually into the Promised Land. (Hosea 12:13)
Listen to Jesus praying to the Father, moments before He embraced the suffering of the Cross:
John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me.
Listen to Jesus, while on the Cross:
John 19:30 When JESUS therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
What is most preposterous and unfortunate about these beloved yet ignorant and fickle minded Christians is that they even sound personally convinced and convincing to their hearers when addressing issues concerning our eternal security, stating and emphasizing that a person who is genuinely born again could still lose his salvation for whatever reason; sin basically.
Quick Question
“Isn’t sin the reason JESUS came? So, what did He do about sin”?
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Did you get that? Perhaps another translation would help:
Romans 8:3AMP: For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcomed, deprived it of it’s power over all who accept that sacrifice]
Did you see that?
Can you see why Lucifer will do anything to ensure that people don’t accept this sacrifice?
With that being said, Now Listen To Me (am about to go ballistic… #ApostolicFury
If we believers can still be allegeable to go to Hell after we have met God’s requirement(which is faith in JESUS as stated in John 3:16)
then;
God’s plan of Salvation is a fallacy
Jesus’ sacrifice was for nothing
The Holy Ghost is on a baseless mission here on earth
(GOD Forbid! Far from it!)
Christianity is a calling; It’s a divine appointment that cannot be altered by any force or vice anywhere. Your disagreement is absolutely inconsequential at this point.
God Himself cannot annul what He has established otherwise He’ll be tampering with His own eternal nature and character.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Things To Note About Our Salvation!
1. The Father did not appoint us to suffer the same wrath (judgement) that awaits the rest of the world who would reject JESUS.
1 Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even JESUS, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
2. The Father did not select (choose) us to condemn us.
So, what did He choose us for?
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
He chose us for productivity
He chose us for productive durability
He chose us to guarantee us answers to prayer
Therefore, if you get to a point in your Christian walk where condemnation is beginning to creep up on you, remember: 1John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, GOD is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
3. The Father has chosen and handpicked us to procure, acquire and gain possession of His Salvation.
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
4. The Father determined that everything from start to finish as far as His Salvation plan was concerned would be predicated on Jesus.
1Thess 5:9 NIV: For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our lord Jesus Christ.
In other words, without Christ none of these aforementioned glories could or would have become a reality.
GOD didn’t plan for JESUS to be circumvented (by passed) in the bid to obtain salvation… To do that is to arrive at a point or place where whatever looks like “salvation” would be nothing but “damnation” in disguise.
How did God accomplish His eternal appointment as mentioned in 1 Thess 5:9? Through the death of Jesus!
1Thess 5:1AMP:.. Who died for us so that whether we are still alive or are dead [at Christ’s appearing], we might live together with Him and share His life.
Through JESUS’ death, the Father accomplished His intentions perfectly and absolutely, such that whatever would desire to tamper with His intentions would have to undo the death of JESUS; which is impossible. That’s how impossible it is for anyone or anything to alter (change) what God has purposed for us who have answered His Call.
The death of JESUS was GOD’S guarantee; the guarantee that it is impossible for any of his own to be lost or suffer damnation(Hell).
John 10:28AMP: And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages (to all eternity they shall never be destroyed). And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.
How did GOD accomplish His appointment?
Jesus both died and rose again so that whether we die or remain alive we would forever enjoy fellowship with the Father, sharing His life with Him. Glorrrrrrry HalleJESUS!
Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Oh, The Christian Life: Such A Beautiful Life
