GOD Almighty affords another time to share what i believe concerning Messiah, the Word, salvation and everything associated with Faith in Yashua.
1. I believe the Word of GOD Almighty is without error, not so the translations of men.
Each and every translation has errors, some more than others.
The words of man are not capable of exactly defining who GOD Almighty is, and what He is like.
Nor are the languages of man able to correctly define His attributes, His Onipotence, Omniscience, or His Omnipresence.
Such words as Love ( in its entirety ), Forgiveness, righteousness, redemption, salvation, propitiation and others are better epxerienced then explained.
Some experiences cannot be explained, but must be experienced by others in order to understand.
2. The Triune GODHEAD:
The GODHEAD consists of 3 persons, each one is OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT, and OMNIPRESENT.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit each are GOD, yet not one is dependant upon the other for being GOD.
Any examples man uses to try to explain the TRIUNE GODHEAD, falls short just as man falls short in representing GOD Almighty in this life.
Messiah YASHUA, had taken the body of a man to enter this life that man would be able to understand who GOD Almighty is, and what He is like.
Messiah reveals the FATHER in Himself, just as Messiah in Himself also mediates between the Father and man.
3. The Holy Spirit is GOD, He is the promised one of the SON of GOD.
Messiah says that He will ask the Father to send another ( One exactly as Messiah ) comforter seeing Messiah was going to the cross.
4. Salvation:
Salvation is by GRACE ( The power of GOD Almighty )
thru Faith, no other way.
No additives ( Repenting of sin, confessing sin ).
No filler ( Not by good works ).
By GRACE ALONE, thru Faith ALONE
Salvation ( sozo, pronounced sodzo ) means to be brought from one place to another.
Being brought from Unbelief to Faith, from death to life, from condemnation to justification, from darkness into light, from believing lies to believing truth, from being the enemy of Messiah, to being His friend, from being outside of His family, to being His ADOPTED child.
5. Why do i need the Messiah:
I cannot forgive myself, nor can i declare that i happen to be justified.
I cannot make myself righteous, or holy, nor can i sanctify myself, i cannot change my sinful nature, nor can i give myself a new heart or a new mind.
I definitely cannot save myself from the wrath of GOD Almighty, nor can i satisfy His anger towards me.
I cannot take my sins to the cross in order to make atonement for those sins, and i cannot reconcile myself with the Holy GOD Almighty creator of Heaven, earth and everything that i can and cannot see.
I cannot give myself a new body, which i desire as this one is breaking down slowly but surely.
Without the Holy Spirit all that has been written concerning the TRIUNE GODHEAD, and myself, i would never be able to understand; even now what i understand will pass away as one day, He will make me to know even as i have been known.
Above all of this, without the ressurrection of Messiah, nothing would matter, as my faith in Him would be in vain. Had Messiah not taken His place at the right hand of the Father,to make intercession for me, i would be doomed.
I love Messiah for He first loved me and Had given His life to pay my sin debt in full.
I have life as He has given to me the life of GOD to dwell within me ( His Holy Spirit ).
Though my sins are beyond number and are hideous, Messiah was not ashamed to take responsibility for them when He carried them to the cross in His body.
All of my sins, past, present and future sins have ALL been ATONED for, the cross is the symbol of that.
He became sin, that i would become the Righteousness of GOD in Yashua.
The GOSPEL is the power of GOD Almighty to be saved, i proclaim the Gospel of GRACE, as YASHUA is the one thru which Grace and Truth have come.
I might disagree slightly here on what God ordained before he created the world because what is acted on in real time in the physical world is what God ordained.
Yes, God’s salvation was settled long ago before time was created but repentance is in line what God ordained and granted in real time.
Therefore, when Jesus called people to repentance he was speaking to their need at that specific time in history even though, in the mind of God, the God who knows everything
and ordains everything, knew who would respond to the preaching of repentance, knew who would be saved and granted repentance and knew who already belonged to him because of his sovereign choice before the beginning of time
Sin does not separate a believer from GOD Almighty, as the Holy Spirit dwells within the believer.
Man in general is separated from GOD Almighty because of UNBELIEF,. Though Messiah is sinless, ALL sin had been judged in the body of Messiah, as He had become sin and was judged as though He Himself had sinned.
