What is it necessary to be saved (Part 36).

One thing we can have for sure: the Creator never looked over, nor will ignore our sins:

  • "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

It wouldn't add up the Creator provide a sacrifice for Himself, so that He could be able to forget what makes Him tired (Isa 43.24) and, thus, can forgive us. Let alone so that he could be conniving with our encroachings in relation to His pure and holy laws (Rom 7:12).


Furthermore, if it was so, people would banalize the sin, giving in to the salacity (Jude).

It's truth that the sin breaks our relationship with the Creator:

  • "Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear." (Isaiah 59.1,2).
Notwithstanding, the barrier that make separation between us and the Creator was arisen by us.

The proof of this can be seen in two excerpts of the Holy Scripture.

First, when Adam sinned:

  • "They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”" ( Genesis 3:8-9).

Take heed carefully and you see that the Creator was toward the man; this one was who draw away from Him.


The second passage is when Moses take Israel out of Egypt:

  • "For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.’" (Jeremiah 7:22-23).

Note that the Creator tried to establish a relationship with Israel before the ordinance about the tabernacle:


  • "Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.” (Exodus 19.5,6).

Only after people refuse to hear the Creator's voice (Exodus 20.18,19; Deut 5.23-26) is that He enjoined the tabernacle. And this tabernacle with its laws weren't bestowed for the salvation of man (Hebrews 9.9; 10.1), but so that the man could see the inneficacious of trying, by himself, getting free of the sin and debarring its advance (1Tim 1.9,10).


So, take seriously the sin and enjoy your day in the purity and holiness that Jesus imparted to you (Eph 1.3; 2Peter 1.3). Tomorrow we will carry on (if Jesus reveal me).
