God's Salvation part one

When one reads the Word of God, one should first pray for the guidance and teaching of the Holy Spirit for its correct interpretation. John 16:13. Unfortunately, most people read the Word of God and interpret it according to a preconceived set of rules. The atheist reads God's Word as pure fiction. The Church reads the Word as teaching that only the Church, and all others saved by grace, comprise the only salvation which God supplies. The Church must possess a little pride to believe that it happens to be God's only form of salvation, but that is the set of rules by which the Church interprets the Bible. When one reads the Bible, one should put all preconceived rules out of one's mind, and simply believe exactly that which the Word states while prayerfully guided by the Holy Spirit.

For example, John 1:29 and John 12:47 clearly teach that Jesus came to save the world that He originally created, including all humans, and not just those saved by grace. While it is true that according to John 3:3 and John 5:24, a person can repent, believe in Christ, get saved by grace and obtain a home with God in heaven forever; this does not mean that God provides no form of salvation for the rest of humanity.

God cannot fail to accomplish everything He ever said He would do. Numbers 23:19; Ecclesiastes 3:14. Since God has stated in His Word that Jesus came to save the world, then that is exactly that which Jesus will do. God will recover, cleanse, and recreate everything that He originally created that has been sullied by sin, including all humans not saved by grace, to live on His recreated and righteous earth. Romans 11:36; Revelation 21:1-5. The main difference between those saved by grace and those saved by recreation will be that those saved by grace will be saved as individuals; that is, they will retain most of their former identities and personalities while the recreated humans will lose their former identities and personalities because God will recreate them from a pool of good works that He has recorded in His books in heaven. Revelation 20:5, 12; Revelation 21:5; Matthew 16:24-27.

Sin has always been destructive. Sin causes pain, sorrow, and spiritual death. In a temporal sense, man suffers for his own sins. Job 14:1.

The Devil's project has always been to use sin as a means to destroy both God and His creations permanently. Satan seeks to cause the goodness that God originally put into mankind to become so nasty with sin that it cannot be rescued. Satan seeks to turn some of God's goodness into sin itself. Satan seeks to nullify God's Love by causing man to become so filthy with sin that God gives up on saving man and turns man over to the control of the Devil. Should Satan succeed, God would become permanently alienated from Himself and eventually suffer permanent death. Satan would then win and become the sole ruler of the universe. Genesis 3:1-7; Isaiah 14:12-15; Matthew 4:1-11.
