Salvation
Have you ever experienced like this : One time, you were in a place very dark, you felt scared for you didn’t know where you are and why you are there. Suddenly something seems to be chasing you, you kept running and running, you felt scared but no one to help you. Didn’t know why, suddenly you fell into a black hole, falling and falling… falling and falling… Would I died? Then you bounced up on the bed, you woke up. You stayed there for a while in trance before you realized that you were dreaming just now. And then you looked at the sunshine through the window…
The “Salvation” is similar to this dream. Salvation is the most important for all people, and God knows it is our most need. Human is living in a dark place like the dream, we feel scared and no one can help us. All people will fall into the black hole and die finally. But Jehovah God save us through the “Salvation” and let us see the sunshine again…
What is the “Salvation”? Why needs salvation?
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.” – John 3:14,15
What is the “Salvation”? Why do we need “Salvation”? Let’s review the history about the beginning of humans…
Genesis tells us God created the first human Adam and Eve who lived in Eden, a very beautiful place with many different kinds of fruits. They could enjoy the life, relax no pressure, no evils, and also can enjoy <the tree of life>. “Tree of Life” means they won’t died but enjoy eternal life, and also they had a satisfying job that managing and caring the animals, plants… the whole earth.
If you read <the tree of life>, you will know human’s body structure is also like other animals it would died, but because of the grace of God, he give “tree of life” to Adam and Eve and their offspring, and let them having eternal life. You can imagine, all offspring of Adam and Eve would automatically get the grace of eternal life when they are born, this grace is the free gift from God. So initially humans did not need the “Salvation”.
But afterward, the Serpent deceived Eve and Adam, and they ate the fruit of <the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil>, then humans seems fell into the dark world. They lost the grace from God, lost the eternal life and all of them fell into the death black hole(bottomless pit). After that, humans were in great need of Salvation, and salvation become precious and necessary for the all. But it’s like a dream unreachable, no any hands can be help, an impossible mission and no one can be saved…
Psalm 49:7-9
7 Truly no man can ransom another,
or give to God the price of his life,
8 for the ransom of their life is costly
and can “never suffice”,
9 that he should live on forever
and never see the pit.
God’s Law
Jehovah God set a law for all creatures not only human but also the heaven, that is Galatians 6:7 “for whatever one sows, that will he also reap”. So people should consider seriously what they have done will be affecting themselves, sometimes not only themselves but also their offspring, just like Adam and Eve ate the fruit of “tree of knowledge of good and evil“. They lost the grace of eternal life, not only affected themselves but also all their offspring have lost the grace of eternal life.
So what did Adam sow? And what did he reap? What did he sow means what did he do. He ate the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” and then reaped death, and all his offspring fell into the death black hole. Please read <Tree of knowledge of good and evil>for more about the tree.
Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man(Adam), and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned”.
So death has entered into the world, our world has become darken. God is just, and His law cannot be broken, otherwise the world will be broken too. Oh no! God Father please help us please save us, please, please…
God’s Salvation – “Offspring”
Yes, maybe you know Jehovah God already has a “plan” to save us. We can say “Salvation” is this plan. God is good and love, “Salvation” is the grace of God. Grace means we don’t deserve it but God give us as a free gift. “Salvation” is the grace that we cannot and absolutely no ability to pay it. If we have a grateful heart, we should give thanks, glory, praise and worship to the only true God the Father God. Amen.
How did God save us?
Genesis 3:15 says
“I will put enmity between you(Serpent) and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
Although this verse does not appear the word “salvation”, but we know that this is the God’s plan to destroy serpent(remove evil, sin) and save his people including all humans, just like God pulling us up from the black hole. What does it mean? That means the “offspring” of “woman”, he will destroy serpent, evil and sin. Who is the “offspring”? Genesis 12:3 says the offspring appear is through Abraham firstly, “…and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed”. Please read <Abraham>.
After about 2 thousand years, the “offspring” appeared, Luke 1:31-33 says “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And YHWH God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
Revelation 12:1,2,6 “And a great sign appeared in heaven: a “Woman” clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.5 She gave birth to a male child(“offspring”), one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne”.
So the “offspring” of woman actually will be given the throne of David, kingdom of Israel which will reign all over the world, Bible call it : The kingdom of heaven, or the “New Jerusalem”. Please refer to <The Top Tree and 7 Periods>.
The “offspring”-Jesus, was killed on the earth, that fulfilled the prophecy serpent “bruise woman’s offspring heel“. Please read <Bruise Serpent Head>. Jesus’ death is the most important for all mankind, because of grace of God and Jesus, Jesus pay the debt for us. How did Jesus pay the debt? That is using his life that is “perfect no sin”, just like Adam exchanged the death to Jesus and Jesus exchanged the life to Adam, then Adam’s offspring can regain the eternal life.
Who pay the “great price”? – Salvation
No one can give this perfect and no sin life except Jesus, because he was born of the Holy Spirit(not born of man), that’s why he didn’t inherit “sin” from Adam. Therefore except Jesus Christ, no one can pay the ransom(sinless life) to redeem the life that Adam had lost, and this ransom(sinless life) which is non existing in our world.
Because all Adam’s offspring are inherited sin of him, that’s why all mankind seems fell into the black hole and Psalm 49:7,8 says
7 Truly no man can ransom another,
or give to God the price of his life,
8 for the ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice.
“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.15 But the free gift(the grace) is not like the trespass(sin). For if many died through one man’s trespass(Adam’s sin), much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ(grace of sinless, eternal life) abounded for many” – Romans 5:8,15
Isaiah 9:6 says,
“For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Adam is our father but we lost life in him. But because Jesus, we regain life. So it can be said, Jesus is our humans’ father for our life comes from him. Jesus is our father, so Jesus’ Father can be said is our father’s Father. So who gives the Salvation? Surely you know the answer, that is the God of gods, our Heavenly Father Jehovah God and his beloved son Jesus, they save us from death.
So firstly God gave the grace of eternal life to Adam and also his offspring, can be said the “first grace” is precious and given easily. However human lost that grace of God sadly. Then God gives the grace again, but “this time” has to pay a great price(costly). This great price is paid by God and Jesus, that is Father God sacrificed his beloved Son, and Jesus was willing sacrificed himself and died for us. God gives this grace as a gift to us again free !!
But why God has to sacrifice His beloved son Jesus? If you read the <tree of life>, you would know if humans can eat the fruit of the tree of life, then they can regain eternal life. Then that’s simple, why didn’t God forgive humans’ sin and then give tree of life to humans directly, then Jehovah would no need to pay the great price of Jesus’ life, isn’t it much better and simple and easier and directly?
As you know Galatians 6:7 “for whatever one sows, that will he also reap”, this rule(law) is set by God, and this law is like the foundation of building. Please imagine what the world would be, if no one need to take responsibility for their behavior. If Adam and Eve and Serpent no need to take responsibility of their behavior, what will happen of our world and the heaven? Yes, the world will become lawlessness. That’s why God knows it’s the foundation of His family that couldn’t be broken, so God set this law for all creatures including angels, Serpent, Adam and Eve… even the law creator God himself. That’s why even God himself has to pay the great price but He is willing. Thanks God, thanks, thanks!
1 Corinthians 6:20 “for you were bought with a price“.
So how do you thank Jehovah God and his beloved son Jesus? How to express our Love and Grateful to Father and Jesus? Regain the eternal life is really the grace of grace, and this grace is used the great price(God’s beloved son’s life) to exchange back to humans. Father Jehovah God, all our words can’t exactly express how thankful and love to You and Jesus, for You were given the great price so that we can regain the eternal life. Thanks thanks again Father and Jesus. Amen.
Who can be saved?
Yes, God knows all of us are very concern about this question, who can be saved? Can I be saved?
“Those who have done good to the resurrection of “life“, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.” – John 5:29
…So one act of righteousness leads to justification and “life for all men.” – Romans 5:18
God “not wishing that any should perish…” – 2 Peter 3:9
So what does it mean? This free gift “eternal life“, the grace of God, is free for the “all men”! Even whose who did not know God when they died, Jesus said they will have resurrection of life if they have good deeds. Jehovah God set the threshold of “Salvation” is very low, that almost all people can be saved. Everyone can drink the water of life if they want, just like the offspring of Adam could enjoy the grace of eternal life automatically when they are born, if Adam not sinned.
Revelation 22:1,2,17 “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life.. 2 …also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.”
And YHWH said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?” – Jonah 4:10,11
We know that God loves and pity animals and plants’ life, if God has mercy even on plant and animal life, how much more so on humans? As one trespass led to condemnation “for all men“, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and “life for all men“. So Jehovah God and his beloved son want to give eternal “life for all men“. But how could the earth hold those so much “all men”? Wouldn’t it exceeded its capacity?
Genesis 15:5 “And he(YHWH) brought him(Abram) outside and said, “Look toward heaven and number the stars, see if you are able to number them.” Can Abram count the stars of the heaven? Surely I think he couldn’t count all “uncountable stars”. What did God say? Then He said, “So shall your offspring be.”.
YHWH God’s meaning of “shall your offspring be there” is they will “live in all stars” and they will “like the number of stars(uncountable)”. Please read <Abraham>. Therefore we have no need to worry about the earth’s capacity if we believe Jehovah God is the Almighty.
Jesus willing to forgive even the soldiers killed him , Luke 23:34 “And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”.
So that means YHWH God and Jesus want to give eternal life to those almost “all men”? Yes, but not really “all men”, for some are evils who will be judged by Jesus individually. He would forgive many, even the soldiers who executed him. But if someone are judged as evils, they will be destroyed.
But why didn’t Jesus save us earlier? Why didn’t Jesus save us immediately after he has resurrected? For Jehovah God and Jesus has already paid the debt, all needs to do have done, is there anything left undo? So why didn’t Jesus save humans immediately? Why need to wait until he come again? Is there some thing need to do before he come again?
Moreover, the four Gospels and the epistles of apostles all seems to show us the message that not everyone can be saved. And also it seems they are few, limited, chosen and sealed by God… Let’s see.
Who are Few, Limited, Chosen and be Sealed ?
Matthew 22:2,14 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 14 For many are called, but ‘few are chosen‘”.
Mark 13:20 “And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of ‘the elect‘, ‘whom he(YHWH God) chose‘, he shortened the days”.
They are limited on the number, Romans 11:25 “Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, “until” the fulness of the Gentiles has come in…”
“After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth… 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun… 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, “until” we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel” – Revelation 7:1-4
You could see all above the verses, and also many verses of 4 Gospels are shown us the clear message: the saved one are few, chosen… Oh no Father and Jesus how about if I am no the chosen one? Can you be mercy to me although I admit I am not the best, I am a sinner and sometime not good but I am not the evils… Please Father please Jesus…
First of all, what does the speaking object of the above verses? Who are they talking about? Let’s see…
We can say all the verses above is talking about the about the “saints”, about the “sons of God”. All of them are related to one thing, that is the Heavenly Kingdom – God’s Kingdom. Why we can say that? Let’s hear what Jesus was talking, about what?
The kingdom of heaven is like…
I(Jesus) must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this “purpose“. – Luke 4:43
Jesus answered, “My kingdom(Heavenly Kingdom) is not of this world… You say that I am a king. For this purpose(Heavenly Kingdom) I was born and “for this purpose” I have come into the world…” – John 18:36,37
So What did Jesus focus on? What is the purpose of Jesus came into the world? Yes, that is the heavenly kingdom, it’s about God’s prophecy woman’s “offspring”. During 3.5 years that period on earth, all what he told disciples was only one thing, that’s the heavenly kingdom, “the purpose” why he came. For the things other than heavenly kingdom, he did not focus on and talking not much.
What did Jesus teach them? He said, “Your kingdom come”, “heavenly kingdom is the mystery”, “…know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven”, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed…”, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven…” “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to…”…
Therefore that’s very clear to show us, all teachings of Jesus was about teaching people : “how to become God’s son”, become the “offspring” of woman – become the “Kingdom of God”. Christ is the slain Lamb and the Bride is the “New Jerusalem” – “Kingdom of God”, who are formed by 144000 saints(God’s sons). Jesus told all people the great good news of heavenly kingdom, this “good news” is : people have opportunity become the son of God and also be the king of heavenly kingdom!
“Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000… 4 … These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb” – Revelation 14:1,4
That’s why they(God’s sons) are “Few“, “Limited“, “Chosen” and “Sealed“. Yes, they are “few” comparing with all mankind, because they are “Chosen” by God from mankind.
Waiting and Receiving Kingdom
And why didn’t Jesus save us immediately after he resurrected? At least earlier to save us? Why is so long, and it is about 2000 years passed after he resurrected? How long do we have to wait?
“…because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12 He said therefore, “A nobleman(Jesus) went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return…”” – Luke 19:11,12
Jesus went back to heaven to wait and receiving the “kingdom“, that means he is waiting the establishment of the heavenly kingdom complete, that is to said to seal the “144000 saints” complete. After that God will give this “kingdom” to him then Jesus will come back(return).
When Jesus finished the witnessing work(3.5) on earth and sacrificed himself as ransom for salvation, the first part of Heavenly Kingdom is completed, he went back to heaven. And Jesus has to wait 144000 saints are being sealed one by one(the other part of 3.5). When all of them have sealed, then the establishment of heavenly kingdom will be completed. This is God’s plan for rebuilding His living place (New)Jerusalem of “Seventy-Sevens“.
It is the symbolic period of “3.5“, “1260 days” and “a time, times, and half a time“, the period of childbirth of the heavenly woman(Revelation chapter 12). That’s why Jesus back to heaven to receive kingdom so long. He has to wait until God gives him the kingdom, after the kingdom completed(all 144000 sealed), Jesus will receive the kingdom from God.
Then he will be back!
Please read <144000 and a great multitude>, <Woman and Dragon>, <Kingdom of God>, <Judgement has come>, <New Heaven and New Earth>, <New Jerusalem>.
Hidden Mystery
But why churches say that all human who are saved will go to heaven? Because when the church read about Jesus’ conversation with the apostles, the first thing that came to their mind was “Everyone is going to heaven”, they didn’t know who “the object” Jesus and apostles were talking to, they are the “saints” – the “sons” of heavenly kingdom not everyone, apostles wrote letters to churches were also saying “To all saints…”.
The heavenly kingdom is the mystery and which is “like treasure hidden in a field”, this is the development of the first and most important prophecy of God-the woman’s “offspring”, all biblical development is according to this prophecy. So the truth of heavenly kingdom is “shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase”.
That means it is sealed until the time of the end, also Jesus said, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come”. – John 16:13
Therefore “people go to heaven” is not the whole truth, it is a partial but a main. The other main part is : there is a uncountable(unlimited) people will be saved, why we can say that? That’s very simple. Just want to ask, saints go the heaven is for what purpose?
Yes, they will be the Kings and Priests of heavenly kingdom. But if every people go to heaven be kings and there are no “people“, why does it need king? Do saints reign over each other? Do saints atone for each other’s sins? That is meaningless, so surely they will serve many, and we can say those are saved God’s people are unlimited.
Matthew 20:28 “even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Although only few saints(144000) are chosen to be the kingdom of God, but it doesn’t mean others won’t be saved. Actually the saved are unlimited. The purpose of the Heavenly Kingdom is : to save all mankind and reconciling humanity with God. And for the purpose of Jesus’ come to sacrifice his life is also for all mankind.
The purpose of heavenly kingdom is not created 144000 saints to form a kingdom and then they reign themselves each other, it’s meaningless. So the purpose of the heavenly kingdom is for humans, if no humans then no need to setup the “heavenly kingdom”. Just same as the government on earth, its purpose is to serve its’ people.
Later on the Revelation revealed this uncountable “a great multitude”. Now let’s see this truth…
Who are “A Great Multitude” that no one could number ?
Revelation 7:9 “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, “from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages“, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands”
One of elders asked John “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?”.
That means they are not ‘addressed'(mentioned) before, therefore no one knows. But they have been revealed to us now, they are believe in Jesus and those come out of great tribulation.
Revelation 7:15-17
“15 Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Who are the uncountable great multitude who are standing before the throne and the Lamb? They are not seating next to Jesus’ throne, therefore it tells us they are God’s people. They clothed in white robes means they have faith in Jesus, they are righteous people the blessed one! God gives them the eternal life grace, they can enter the “New Jerusalem” to “serve” God day and night, it’s really the grace of grace!
“Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” – Revelation 14:6,7
“every nation and tribe and language and people” those who dwell on earth could be “a great multitude” the blessed one, if they give glory and fear and worship God, also faith in Jesus Salvation.
The blessed One
Matthew 22:2 Jesus said “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king(Jehovah God) who gave a wedding feast for his son(Jesus)”.
Revelation 19:7,8
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”
—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the “saints”.
So the marriage of the Lamb and his Bride symbolize the heavenly kingdom, the Bride is the “New Jerusalem” and this city is formed by saints(144000 saints). Why we can say the Bride is saints? Because the Bride clothe herself with fine linen represents the righteous deeds of the “saints“, therefore the Bride is the saints.
Luke 22:29,30 “and I assign(confer) to you, as my Father assigned(conferred) to me, a kingdom, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel“.
Let’s back to those the “blessed one”, “a great multitude”…
“And I saw the holy city, “new Jerusalem“, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as “a bride” adorned for her husband(Lamb)” – Revelation 21:2
And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” – Revelation 19:9
“Who” are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb? Are they the “saints“?
No! Saints are the “Bride”, they formed as an organization(New Jerusalem city). So those who are invited to the marriage is “a great multitude” not the “Bride”, Jesus and Bride is the signatory of the marriage covenant(covenant of heavenly kingdom). Yes because the grace of God, the “a great multitude” is honored to be present at the marriage of Lamb and the Bride. Just like people are honored to “participate” in the celebration of the founding day(marriage) of a new kingdom(heavenly kingdom). Jehovah true God promised : They(a great multitude) are the one those are blessed !
Revelation 21:3,4
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:24,25
24 By its light will the nations walk, and “the kings of the earth” will bring their glory into it,
25 and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.
Because “a great multitude” made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb, Jesus will guide them to the springs of living water. “a great multitude” “maybe” the kings of the earth to bring their glory into the New Jerusalem, because God has promised they are the “blessed one“.
Judgement Day
Who are the evils? Who are the resurrected for life? Who are the “a Great Multitude”, the blessed one? Who will be the Saints?
All above questions are based on “judgement” in Judgement Day. Who judge? Father God has given the right of judge to His beloved son Jesus, therefore Jesus will judge.
John 5:30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me”.
Who are the evils?
Please imagine when the judgement day is come, what will happen? maybe someone will say “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many mighty works in your name?”.
Jesus will say : “What did I tell you? What did you read and hear? Didn’t I tell you shall not murder, shall not commit adultery, shall not steal, shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself? Didn’t I tell you “For all who take the sword will perish by the sword”?
You taught the thousands of thousands followers to do what you did, you didn’t teach them be good but evils. You the evils “For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in”. For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of Gehenna(hell) as yourselves.
You didn’t do the good what I told you, but did evils what I said shall not did. Now I declare to you, you brood of vipers, descendants of the Devil, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’, depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Jesus will judge who are evils, who are murders… individually. They have to repent now and ask God Father and Lord Jesus to forgive them, otherwise they may go to “Gehenna“(be destroyed).
Who are the resurrected for life?
“Oh! Jesus is real exist, why didn’t I believe him before! Oh no!! Lord Jesus please forgive me, I am just an ordinary person who only cares about life, busy for take care my children and the tedious matters in life. Although I am not in Faith of you, but I am not the evils, I had done some goods such as, Um… Umm… such as…” – Those who did not faith in Jesus.
“Ah, such as I gave my seat to the old one, and open the door for someone, and… and… gave food to my pets… and…”. “Oh Lord Jesus, I have heard that you are merciful, I have heard that you had asked Heavenly Father to forgive the soldiers who executed you, please forgive me too! please! please!”, “Also I have heard Heavenly Father forgive the one who owed him a very big debt. I think my debt won’t as much as like that man! So please Lord Jesus, be mercy to me and forgive me please!”.
What will Jesus say to them?
Would he say like that? “You do not believe me, you don’t know the biblical truth and you have no faith of me. You will be destroyed…”?
Our Lord Jesus is kind and merciful, he has mercy on those people who are walking in this dark world, therefore I believe he wouldn’t say like that! Maybe he would say, “OK, I love you and you family, you are a good man and also one of your family’s member is my disciple and he ask me to forgive you too. Come! I will teach you the Truth…”
Who are the “a Great Multitude”, the blessed one? Who will be the Saints?
“a Great Multitude” they have faith in Lord Jesus, they spend time to learn the Bible Truth but others think is a wasting time. They teach people good news and the Biblical truths but others think they are pointless by do so. They are not focus on satisfy the desires of the flesh, pursuit of material wealth but others think they are foolish and gain nothing. Why do they do this? Because they have faith in Jesus, faith in God.
What will Jesus say to them?
Maybe he would say, “You are my sheep, always follow me. Come, I will take you to my pasture. You are a multitude blessed by God”.
“a Great Multitude” may say, “Lord Jesus, Praise God, rejoice and glad to see you, we have wait for a long long time, and now it’s come true!”.
“But Lord Jesus, please forgive me for asking you a question: Didn’t you say “whoever believes in you Jesus should not perish but have eternal life” in John 3:16? But why those who are not believed you before, but you give them chance to gain eternal life? Lord, be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable. If so, why did I learn the truth so hard before? If so, why did I need to endure being persecuted and laughed at others?”
Maybe Jesus would say, “My beloved sheep, John 3:16 is the promise of God that whoever have faith in me shall have eternal. This is the God’s promise: all whoever have faith in me, they are ensure 100% to have eternal life. But for the others, they have to judge individually. Also we have to ‘celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found’. Moreover, because of your faith and hard work, you are the blessed one, you will be given the Grace within Grace of God. Not only having eternal life, but also can enter the “New Jerusalem” to worship Jehovah God closely, you will be the king on earth and bring the glory of nations to Praise and Honor God”.
“Praise God and Glory God, for He is the most goodness, show love and merciful to all people! Lord Jesus, another question, who could be saints? Could I be saints?”
Maybe Jesus would say, “They are the sons of God and they are selected by Father God himself. You are all the blessed one, but the saints who sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those whom it has been prepared by Father God. Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world”.
The above conversations are not exactly correct, but it’s really according what Jesus has said in the Bible.
Let’s Prayer
May we all Praise and Worship Jehovah God, for You have given the “Salvation” to save us from the black hole, now we are like awaked from the terrible dream and can see the light, we feel warm and love, won’t be afraid anymore.
All of this happened because of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, for your grace and love, You paid the great price for us, give us the grace of “Salvation”. Thanks Father and Thanks Jesus Christ. We have nothing to repay God. May we all tell others the great “Salvation” of Jehovah God’s grace, share the good news to them, so that they may also glory and praise God and Jesus.
Father, may your kingdom come. May the glory of nations given to Father God and Jesus Christ. Amen.
Prayer is also in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
