*The complete Truth about "Salvation" extends far beyond what has been traditionally taught or preached about in church. Salvation is a guarantee of what we are to "Expect" and enjoy of in our present time and in the End of Time(Judgment Day). Bible Truth causes a "Great Expectation" within us. The Bible tells us that because of it, we will have "Boldness to stand before God in the day of Judgment."
But why is it that when judgment day, rapture, or end of time is spoken of, many still are unsure, scared, insecure or at times even become terrified of what awaits them in the end?
The Lord said it best, "John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” This promise is fulfilled in you today...
1 Timothy 2:3-4 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.
1 Peter 1:3-5 ...Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
1 Corinthians 15:51-56 51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! 52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. 53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.
54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:
“Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.
Philippians 3:20-21 20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. 21 He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.
1 John 4:17-18 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
*It is GOOD & PLEASING to God that EVERYONE be SAVED and!!!!! to UNDERSTAND the TRUTH! It is in understanding the TRUTH(Christ) that the perfect LOVE(Christ) casts out fear from within you. It's great that you are saved! It is!! But God want's you to know about the "much more"(Hebrews 6:1-3) there is to know about Him and you in Him(Salvation). How I wish you were with us at Bible study this past Sunday, so that you would have heard much more
