Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Salvation; Salvation is imminent. You have all of eternity.
God created every soul with a connection and interaction of his spirit to your soul-consciousness. Establishing it forever as a channel for reception in being his very essence and desires.
The term salvation does not apply to the soul which is not in danger and does not need salvaged. Salvation is nothing more then right-mindedness as “all flesh shall see the salvation of God.” (Luke 3:6)
Salvation in the original Greek text;
G4992 σωτήριον Neuter of the same as G4991 as (properly concrete) noun; defender or (by implication) defence: – salvation. G4991 σωτηρία Feminine of a derivative of G4990 as (properly abstract) noun; rescue or safety (physically or morally) G4990 σωτήρ From G4982; a deliverer, that is, God or Christ: – saviour. G4982 σώζω From a primary word σῶς (contraction for the obsolete σάος “safe”); to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): – heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.
Salvation is a defense and safety mechanism implemented by God for humankind. He is the deliverer, protector, healer, saving and making whole again unto everlasting life, which is his very self. (Rom 6:22)
ETERNAL Salvation
2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Everlasting and eternal Life
Rom 6:22-23 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
LIFE Everlasting
1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
ETERNAL Inheritance
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
If God’s plan is perfect and you trust it, then judgement does not exist in your mind. If God’s plan is perfect, then freedom in choosing good or evil; doing evil or sinning is simply missing the mark or making a mistake.
Having a choice then, would not the path from sin at some point lead to goodness-God? Example; Who goes to God, the person that wins the lottery, or the person that is experiencing a negative lifes event?
God has no generic way of salavation when it pertains to an individual. His workings are on each and every individuals spirit. When the “end” is a total life in and living love, how can there be a better way?
Why were we not taught the simplicities of the truth such as; two wrongs dont make a right, or for every action there is a reaction, or for every positive is a negative.
BLESSINGS
The word bless, blessed, blessing, and blessings is mentioned 508 times in the King James Bible. 109 of the 508 are in the New Testament.
Ps 84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
5 ways of blessings;
We can bless God.
God can bless us.
We can bless others.
Others can bless us.
We can bless our self.
Isa 65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Rev 1:3
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Summarizing these 4 scriptures we have;
Surrounding oneself in God’s truth (Isa 65:16)
Endure temptation (James 1:12)
Read and hear the Word (Rev. 1:3)
Not forgetting the Word, as well as your works for the Lord (James 1:25)
In Psalms and Isaiah we see that through our trust in God we have a blessing. That is a way of blessing yourself or simply having a blessing because you chose to serve God and not evil.
Many Scriptures related to “bless” is referring to an act of adoration. This is according to the Hebrew translation. So in our communication with God and Christ we “bless” Him in our adoration having His love and for our faith and trust in the salvation of our soul or have our Lord either bless our self or others.
When we bless God, we are referring to an act of adoration, thanking, or simply speaking well of God or Christ. Our blessings to God, we are praising and glorifying His Holy Name in Psalms 145:1-3.
Ps 145:1-3 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
God Blesses Abram
Gen 12:2-3
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
(See Also; Gen 18:18, Gen 49:28)
God also states in Deuteronomy 16:17;
Deut 16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
Here we have man giving as he is able according to his blessing.
The next verses show us what our demeanor, spirit and soul conditions are to obtain these blessings.
Christ seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain; and when he was set, his disciples came unto him; And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying…
Mat 5:3-11
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
(Note; revile means to be subjected to verbal abuse, including abusive language.)
Summarizing Mat 3-11, these conditions are;
Be poor is spirit (those that have the right heart to choose salvation)
They that mourn
The meek
Hunger for righteousness
Merciful
Pure in heart
Peacemaker
Those persecuted for righteousness
Those that persecute you falsely for Gods sake
From God’s perspective blessings are; Mercy, Grace, Will, Purpose and Way.
Our perspective would be in implementing and improving the following;
Integrity of Heart
Lovingkindness
Our Measure of Faith
Our Works and Deeds
Fear of The Lord
Our Iniquities
Our Righteousness
From God’s perspective blessings are; Mercy, Grace, Will, Purpose and Way.
