Salvation Through BORN AGAIN but you have not humbled your- selves. 23 You are crossing the holy word with your clothes, words and deeds. 24 Therefore, I will judge you on that day according to the scr- iptures in your hand. 25 I will tie your hands and legs and throw you into the lake of brimstone. 26 On that day you all will know that, 27 God, the consuming fire, will do according to His Word and He will punish sin” – this is the Word of God, the consuming fire. CHAPTER 64 IN OTHER place Paul said - “You were dead in your transgr- essions and sins, God made you alive 1 with Christ. 2 Is it not giving an indication that Christ is the anointed word? God shall save to sinners by His word. 3 The Lord said regarding this – “Man does not live on bread alo- ne but on every word that comes from the mouth of God 2 .” 4 Many preachers think that spirit will live by the preachers sermons, anointed oil, prayers 126 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD with laying hands, wearing coats or serving, 5 uttering prayers, healing, fas- ting and helping the poor wearing the beads and garlands with their hands, 6 Oh fool, if you think like that, you shouldn’t forget that you de- stined for the eternal lake of fire and brimstone. 7 II It is written - “it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from your- selves, it is the gift of God 3 .” 8 What does it mean to be sav- ed through faith? In other place Paul says – “the word of faith 4 we are proclaiming.” 9 We are saved through word of faith by grace alone. 10 This is not done by our wor- ks but it is the gift of God. We received the grace for the eternal life and boast through Born Again in Christ. 11 It is written that “he who boa- sts should boast in Christ.” 12 Therefore we are being cou- nted as blameless by the Lord and brought to the presence of the Father. We became saints and blameless and boast in the grace. 13 II The truth which Paul said is true – But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are procla- iming 14 That is - if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved 1 .” 15 The truth which the Holy Spi- rit spoke through Peter is sealed. 16 That is - “Paul writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. 17 His letters contain some thin- gs that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable twist as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 18 Therefore, beloved, since you already know this, be on your gu- ard so that you may not be carri- ed away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position 2 .” 19 II One day, in the road the enemy of righteousness took the word, which was spoken through Moses by the Holy Spirit. 20 He made the drunkard to rep- eat it for three times. He made 1 1 Eph 2:1; 2 Mt 4:4; 3 Eph 2:8; 4 Rom 10:8. 127 Salvation Through BORN AGAIN Rom 10:8,9; 6 Heb 4:6. 2 2 Pet 3:16; 3 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD him like a dipping bird and imm- ersed him three times in water. He proclaimed that he is saved. Oh fool, leave the cunning word and come into the fullness of truth.” 21Oh blind workers -“If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 22 each one’s work will become manifest; for the Day will decl- are it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test 3 ea- ch one’s work, of what sort it is. 23 Can a blind man lead 4 a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 24 Regarding this, what the Spi- rit of God said through Peter is true - “They stumble being diso- bedient to the word, to which they also were appointed 5 .” 25 II The Last one among the apostles said about it – “It still remains that some must will en- ter the rest 6 .”So those who were Born Again only will enter the rest. 26-27 The Person of Patmos said about it – “they sing a new song: You are worthy to take the 1 Cor 3:13; 4 Lk 6:39; 5 1 Pt 2:8;
