“Such GREAT SALVATION!”

 “Such GREAT SALVATION!”

 

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.    1 Peter 1:10-11

 

The Old Testament Prophets prophesied about the Messiah who would SUFFER, and DIE for the SALVATION of MANKIND.  This would take place because of GOD’S GLORIOUS GRACE, and this MYSTERY, as it was to the Prophets of Old, still is a MYSTERY to MANY today. It is an ACT of GOD’S MERCY, because of HIS AMAZING GRACE.  These Prophets of Old, were very CURIOUS concerning this exhibit of GOD’S GRACE towards ALL MANKIND.  They wanted to know WHO the MESSIAH was and WHEN He would Come. They SEARCHED their prophesies trying to UNDERSTAND this ACTION of GOD’S GRACE.  

 

In verse five, Peter tells us that those, who through FAITH, are shielded by God’s POWER until the COMING of the SALVATION that is READY to be revealed in the LAST TIME. Verse eight and nine tells us that:  “Those who have NOT SEEN Christ, yet they LOVE Him; and even though they do NOT SEE HIM now, they STILL BELIEVE IN HIM are FILLED with an INEXPRESSIBLE and GLORIOUS JOY, because they are RECEIVING the GOAL of their FAITH, the SALVATION of their SOULS. And will have HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS as their ETERNAL HOME.  

 

Sadly to say, those who REJECT JESUS CHRIST as their SAVIOR and LORD will NOT experience SUCH GREAT SALVATION.  Instead, they will face CONDEMNATION, and SENTENCED to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once they are there.  What is your DESTINY?  

 

In order to EXPERIENCE SUCH GREAT SALVATION, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, GOD’S ONLY SON, Jesus Christ. You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT SUCH GREAT SALVATION, and spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
