This is what I know salvation is.... God starts with a sinner and end up having HIS WILL BE DONE IN THE FLESH. WOW!
According to God it is three steps and a fourth if you see the predestination as a step also.
God's will is... BE PERFECT. And god does achive this through salvation. No matter how BIG the sinner, the man of God he makes of that sinner in BIGGER.
There is no denying, God's complete salvation is ANOTHER PERFECT MAN IN CHRIST...
Contrary as many teach this is only FINISHED when GOD FINISHES HIS WORK.... When God finish a sinner here on earth, that sinner is EXACTLY like GOD IN FLESH... LIKE JESUS! That is what teh Bible teach...
Best illistrated in Eph 4:13.... Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Just look where ALL God's Children end up RIGHT HERE ON EARTH.... GODLY HOLY PERFECT PEOPLE!
Look what God says..... Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Who here believes we CANNOT live GODLY or righteous as HE IS righteous here on earth? YOU ARE WRONG... God just proved it that God CAN make man GODLY right here on earth...
