“Gracious Salvation”

 “Gracious Salvation”

 

This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you.  They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when He told them in advance about Christ’s Suffering and His Great Glory afterward.   1 Peter 1:10-11

 

The SALVATION of mankind has been a MYSTERY of sorts, to a lot of people.  The Prophets of Old Prophesied about this GRACIOUS SALVATION, which caused them to want to KNOW MORE about it.  So, they SEARCHED and INVESTIGATED ALL that the Spirit of Christ, had told them, concerning the SUFFERING and His GREAT GLORY afterward.  

 

In verse 12, we see that the Prophets were told that their messages were NOT for themselves, but for US.  This GOOD NEWS has NOW BEEN PREACHED to even us, by those who preached in the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT of God.  And the reason the Prophets could NOT FULLY understand the mystery of this GRACIOUS SALVATION was because their PROPHECIES had NOT yet been fulfilled.   This GRACIOUS SALVATION is SO WONDERFUL that EVEN the ANGELS are EAGERLY WATCHING these things happen.

 

REMEMBER that GRACE means that we receive what we DO NOT DESERVE.  Mankind in their SINFUL FLESH does NOT DESERVE GOD’S AMAZING GRACE.  He is THE HOLY, RIGHTEOUS GOD, and MANKIND can do NOTHING to earn this GRACIOUS SALVATION, except to SINCERELY, and TRUTHFULLY come to the LORD JESUS CHRIST, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. And to ADMIT that they are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED and DIED, but in three days GOD RESURRECTED Him from DEATH and the GRAVE.  You MUST BELIEVE 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 LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then you MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of His GRACIOUS SALVATION.  And be able to have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
