Three Aspects of Salvation
| Justification mean to be made right with God. Jesus Christ is our lawyer and God is the judge and we are the transgressors of the law. Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins and paid the ultimate price with His blood. Jesus goes to God on our behalf and pays any and all debts of sin through his death and subsequent resurrection. If Justification could be a scene it would be a court-room scene. "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1 This first aspect begins once we repent for our sins and ask Jesus Christ to be Lord of our lives. Regeneration means to be born again. Being born again is the process of becoming a Christian. Once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we are born again into a new and greater life in God. We are no longer supposed to walking according to our fleshly desires, but we should walk according to God's Spirit. We should take off the "old man" or our old way of doing things and living our life and put on the "new man", the ways of Jesus Christ. During this process, our body and soul spirit which is also known as our temple, is delivered or purged from unclean spirits such as drugs, drinking, lying, cheating, sexual immorality, pre-marital sex and the list goes on. Once we confess those sins, the Holy Spirit, which is God, begins to cleanse us and remove those attributes from our lives. We no longer have a desire to drink or do drugs, we only want to do what is pleasing in Gods eyes. There will however be times when you will be tempted to go back into your old ways, but it is just a trick from the enemy to get you to fall back into your previous sinful lifestyle. Understand that once God has been invited into your heart, your sins are wiped clean and He throws them into the sea of forgetfulness. He has forgiven you 100%, no gimmicks. If regeneration could be a scene is would be a house cleaning scene or a household scene. "Therefore is any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 Sanctification means to be cleansed from sin, made a saint or Holy Many think that being a good person and performing acts of kindness will ensure their entrance into Heaven. God requires more from us than just being a "good person". We have to walk according to his word, which is the Holy Bible. No matter how young or how old you are, it is never too late to give your life to God. It's only too late once you have died. There is no purgatory, no waiting period where you will have time once you die to get right with God. The time is now. God is speaking to His people pleading with you to surrender and give your life and accept Jesus Christ into your heart. You CAN have a personal relation with God through Jesus Christ. Sanctification is the part of the process where the Holy Spirit dwells in us and through us. We have been delivered and are freed from the bondage of sin. If Salvation could be a scene, it would be a temple scene. "I beseech ye therefore brethren by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable to God which is your reasonable service." Romans 12:1 |
