Our God is too loving to be unkind.
CHRIST MOST BELOVED:
WHAT DOES CALVARY MEAN TO YOU AS DISCIPLE OF CHRIST?
CALVARY HAPPENS TO BE A POINT OF REFERENCE TO ALL CHRIST FOLLOWERS.
THE PLACE WHERE ALL OUR SINS WERE TAKEN AWAY.
TO THOSE WHO ARE GENUINELY FOLLOWING JESUS, CALVARY BECOMES THE SYMBOL OF A NEW BEGINNING IN THE COURSE OF CHRIST DISCIPLESHIP.
1 PETER, 2:-24 “HE PERSONALLY CARRIED OUR SINS IN HIS BODY ON THE CROSS SO THAT WE CAN BE DEAD TO SIN AND LIVE FOR WHAT IS RIGHT. BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED.”
BUT BY FAILING TO CONFESS OUR SINS BEFORE GOD AND REPENT FROM THOSE SINS, WE ARE TURNING DOWN THE GRACE OF GOD GIVEN UNTO US THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. AND BY THAT, OUR SOULS ARE IRRECONCILABLE WITH GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
SINS CONFESSED AND REPENTED FROM ARE THE SINS FORGIVEN.
1 JOHN, 1:-9 “IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US AND CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO FORGIVENESS THAN TO CONFESS AND REPENT.
OUR GOD IS TOO LOVING TO BE UNKIND. BUT HE WILL NOT FORGIVE UNCONFESSED AND SINS AND UNREPENTED SINNERS.
PROVERBS, 28:-13 “HE THAT COVERS HIS SIN SHALL NOT PROSPER, BUT WHOSOEVER CONFESS AND FORSAKES THEM SHALL RECEIVE MERCY.
IN CONCLUSION: AS A NATION, CHURCH, OR AS AN INDIVIDUAL. LET US NOT BE DECEIVED BY “ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED” SLOGAN.
SALVATION IS NOT UNCONDITIONAL. EVERY PROMISE OF SALVATION IN THE HOLY BIBLE HAS A CONDITION. IF WE FULFILL THE CONDITIONS THE PROMISES OF GOD WILL BE FULFILLED IN US CONCERNING IT’S PURPOSE. BUT IF NOT, WE ARE IN A DELUSIONAL STATE OF MIND.
