The Lord showed me very clearly what salvation is. And I am thankful, because people can make it sound all complicated, when it is very simple. I want to tell you how one is saved.
A few years ago, a friend of mine stayed the night over our house. And he did something very disrespectful to my parents. My dad found out and banned him from our house. So, for a long time he could not come in my house. When he would come over, I had to tell him he could not come in, and we had to talk outside. We had many adventures together, and during this time I was able to minister to him about the Lord Jesus, although I myself was really new to it all, and may have not had much knowledge, but before he gave me knowledge, he taught me love.
One day he came over outside, and I just got angry about it all of a sudden, what he did. And I asked him very sternly, ''Did you really....'' He bowed his head, and said he was going to be honest and said, ''yeah.'' I told him him it was disrespectful and out of line, and he bowed his head lower, and apologized, acknowledging what he did was wrong and he should not be let in, how he understood that my dad had every right to ban him. I could not be mad at him, but I had compassion on him.
One day when he came over I invited him into the house. I could tell he was wary of it. But I invited him in, and my dad was there. My parents told me he could only come in with me. And when my dad saw him with me he greeted him like his own son almost. As long as he was with me, and I was with him he could come into the house. But without me he could not enter. Certainly we did not give him keys to house. WOW!!!! WATCH THIS!!!
John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
AND THIS!!!
Matt 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
WOW!! Yes Jesus Christ gives us permission to enter into the house of the Lord God!!! Jesus Christ is the pacifier of the enmity between man and the Father. AMEN!!!
It is very simple. If we are with the Son, and he is with us, we have peace with God. But we cannot have peace with God on our own will. We have to have the favor of the Son of God, who intercedes on our behalf. We were forgiven, not to run to the same excess but to learn from the Lord too. Yes, I was able to help my friend understand his fault against me and my dad, but yet he obtained mercy by humbling himself. WOW!!
May Jesus bless you with this. We have to stay with Jesus. We need to learn from him so we can become like him!!! May Jesus bless you!!!
