What is it necessary to be saved (Part 1)?
First of all, let’s mull over: “saved from what?”. Most of the people associate salvation with go to the heaven.
It’s truth that our flimsy and imperfection contributes to our sin. Nevertheless, it is good to recall that, when the Creator create the world, He made all the angels without sin, with a glorified body, in a paradise and without anything or anybody to beguile them. In spite of this, a third part of the angels rebelled (Rev 12.7-12).
This causes the saying that "the occasion makes the thief" fall apart.. I prefer to say that “the occasion just uncover what the person really is.
We blame Jesus for our infortuines, but the truth is that, even if all the circumstances were always favorable, even so we would sin against Jesus and would procure problems more grievous than those we have now.
Certainly you are asserting: “I never blame Jesus!”. Taking into consideration that everything and everyone is under control of Jesus, indirectly we are making Him guilty (Psalms 24.1; Revelation 4.2) (as did Adam – Genesis 3.12).
So, our salvation commence in us, in order to get us free from what we became in virtue of the sin. If we get free from the sin, we will be able to experience the true felicity (as we can see in Acts 5.40,41; 16.25,26; 1Thessalonians 1.5,6).
But, what does it necessary to be fulfilled so that we can be saved?
Many people fancy that it is sufficent to believe in Jesus Christ. If it was the case, until the demons would be saved. After all, they are better in praising and worshipping the Creator than many “believers”:
Delve on this and have a good day. Tomorrow we will carry on (with the permission of Jesus).

Many people fancy that it is sufficent to believe in Jesus Christ. If it was the case, until the demons would be saved. After all, they are better in praising and worshipping the Creator than many “believers”:
- They believe in the Creator and shudder in His presence (James 2.19). Most of the believers, when go to the temple to, supposely, adore the Creator, stay sleeping, talking to people close to them, going to the restroom without really needing it (certainly they won’t do this if it was a person in authority (see Malachi 1.8).
- They were seen running up to worship Jesus when they saw Him from a distance (Mark 5.6). Would that every “believer” had this disposition to encounter Jesus and have intimacy with Him! Many has laziness even of carrying the Holy Scripture when they go to the temple (how much more during the day). How can we hope that Jesus speaks with us if we aren’t ready (see Luke 18.8)?
- They ask permission to the Creator before acting (Job 1.8-12; Job 2.1-6; 1Kings 22.1-22; Luke 22.31). How many times do we consult Jesus before taking na attitude (see Isaiah 30.1; Hosea 8.4)? And the worst is that, when something goes wrong, we blame Him and judge that He is obliged to put us free from the harm that we do to ourselves.
- For you to figure out this, fancy coming your son and convict you from the curse that came about him while he was far off you, living after his covetousness without your consentment. Isn’t it an absurd?
Delve on this and have a good day. Tomorrow we will carry on (with the permission of Jesus).
