Salvation Through BORN AGAIN God speaks? Is He the One, who hides counsel without kno- wledge?” 22 You are asking something as a fool which beyond your wis- dom. 23 The foundation of God is stable regarding this – 24 That is – God, who at vario- us times 1 and in different ways spoke in time past to the fath- ers by the prophets, has in th- ese last days spoken to us by His son. 25 Paul told to his people about the ways in which God speaks in such a way that the literate and illiterate can understand easily. 26 II If anyone doesn’t preach about the ways of God’s comm- unication according to the fear of God, he doesn’t know anyth- ing. He argues only in vain, profane and become proud. 27 Due to this, he will have jea- lousy, blasphemy and evil thoug- hts. He will have the vain thoug- hts that the devotion is a means of gain. 28 Many, who want to hear God’s voice, will fall into the en- emy’s trap, deception and cun- ning eventually, they will become 1 Heb 1:1, 2. 12 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD proud and they will be removed from the way of life. 29 Many, who heard the voice of God without the word of God, are handed over to the un- belief and impurity. They will be removed from the way of the Lord. And they will hand over themselves to the self destruc- tion. 30-31 Oh seeker of the truth’ Understand the word of truth which we made known to you. Be far away to the vain and lying words which are extreme. 32-34 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith, and back sliders and the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation and likewise also these fill they drea- mers defile the flesh and despise dominion, and accusations agai- nst such beings in the presence of the Lord. 35-36 The Holy Spirit said thr- ough Paul – “In the past (1) God spoke (6) to our forefat- hers (5) through the prophets (4) at many times (2) and in various ways, (3) but in these last days (7) he has spoken to us (8) by His Son, whom He appointed heir 13 Salvation Through BORN AGAIN of all things, and through whom He made the universe.” 37 The Spirit of God is forcing us to write about this matter to you. One among you may ask – ‘tell about the ways in which God speaks?’ But God’s word testifies about this that – God called ‘Moses,’ ‘Moses 1 ’ from the burning bush. 38 What did Moses see from the burning bush? What is the reason for writing somewhere in the scri- ptures that “no one has seen or can’t see God 2 ?” 39 Didn’t Paul say that he heard a voice saying “Saul, Saul”? 40 Don’t we notice in the Bible that the Lord called ‘Samuel, Samuel’? 41 By this, we come to know that God speaks to us straightly (sky method). 42 We also come to know that we can only hear the voice of the Lord but can’t see His appea- rance. The Entrance Door into the Heaven 43 Again God, the consuming fire, said that the New Birth, which is useful to enter into the heavenly kingdom of God. “He 1 Exo 3:4; 2 1 Tim 6:16; 3 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD says that it is like as if many enter through a narrow gate 3 with struggle and gained victory”. Is there God? The reader should understand that the phrase ‘there is no God’ is out of human tendency but it is also beyond the human ten- dency. The statement ‘there is no God’ says about the earthly auth- ority. The satan, who is the ruler of this world, also can speak this met- hod. This particular statement pro- ves the fact that the satan is trying to keep his status as the ruler of the world. In the beginning, the satan, who is against God, deceived the first man and robbed his authority which God gave him. In place of Adam who should be as the world’s ruler, the satan became the world ruler. God said that many times in the Bible that He exists. In order to understand this, the reader’s physi- cal and spiritual status should be developed. Where is God? God Himself ans- wered this question that He is in the (most) highest holy place. There is a human doubt ‘Can we see God?’ The Holy Bible says it clear that ‘blessed are the pure in heart and they will see God.’ What does it mean “pure in heart”? Being pure in heart means to live without pride. The question ‘Can God speaks?’ It is said for hundreds of times cle- arly in the Holy Bible that He does speak. Lk 13:24.
