CONTINUING WITH THE THREE TENSES OF SALVATION. WE HAVE LEARNED THAT (1) THE CHRISTIAN HAS BEEN SAVED FROM THE GUILT AND PENALTY OF SIN. WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND SATAN CAN ACCUSE ME BUT GOD SAYS I AM NOT GUILTY SO THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION BUT CHASTENING. (2) THE CHRISTIAN IS BEING SAVED FROM THE HABIT AND DOMINION OF SIN. THIS TELLS ME THAT GOD IS STILL WORKING ON ME TO CONFORM ME TO HIS IMAGE. SO SOME TIMES I MIGHT MESS UP BUT HE WILL STRAIGHTEN ME OUT. ONE THING IS FOR SURE THAT SIN WILL NOT BE THE MASTER OF MY LIFE. ROMS 6:14 Sin is no longer your master,for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead you live under the freedom of Gods grace. ROMS 8:2 And because you belong to Him,the power of the life-givng Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 2 COR 3:18 SO ALL OF US WHO HAVE HAD THE VEIL REMOVED CAN SEE AND REFLECT THE GLORY OF THE LORD. AND THE LORD -WHO IS SPIRIT-MAKES US MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM AS WE ARE CHANGED INTO HIS GLORIOUS IMAGE. GAL 2:19-21 For when I tried to keep the law,it condemned me. So I died to the law-I stopped trying to meet all its requirements-so that I might live for God. My old self has been crucified with Christ . It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God,who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningles. For if the law could make us right with God,then there was no need for Christ to die. PAUL ENCOURAGES US TO WORK HARD TO TO SHOW THE RESULTS OF YOUR SALVATION,OBEYING GOD WITH DEEP REVERENCE AND FEAR. FOR GOD IS WORKING IN YOU,GIVING YOU THE DESIRE AND THE POWER TO DO WHAT PLEASES HIM. PHIL 2:12-13 2 THESS 2:13-14 AS FOUS,WE CANT HELP BUT THANK GOD FOR YOU,DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS LOVED BY THE LORD. WE ARE ALWAYS THANKFUL THAT GOD CHOSE YOU TO BE AMONG THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE SALVATION-A SALVATION THAT CAME THROUGH THE SPIRIT WHO MAKES YOU HOLY AND THROUGH YOUR BELIEF IN THE TRUTH. HE CALLED YOU TO SALVATION WHEN WE TOLD YOU THE GOOD NEWS ; NOW YOU YOU CAN SHARE IN THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. LADIES AND GENTLEMENT THIS IS HOW WE BECOME SAVED. TRUST- BELIEVE AND AT THAT MOMENT THE SPIRIT INDWELLS YOU AND YOU ARE ETERNALLY SAVED. YOU CAN TAKE THIS TO THE BANK. IF WE WOULD ONLY WITNESS THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL OF GRACE AND STOP GOING AROUND TELLING FOLKS YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS AND THAT,DONT DO THIS AND YOU HAVE TO DO THAT.GIVE FOLKS THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD TO SALVATION FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. LET THE HOLY SPIRIT DO HIS JOB.
