So Great A Salvation

Hebrews 2:1-3-

1: Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

2: For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

3: How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

The Christians are on the winning side!!

Jesus and the Christians are going to win the last battle!! 

This Great Salvation:

It belongs to us (Christians), we did not have to pay for it.

Cost a great price (Suffering of Christ) and it cost God His Son

It is great in its package, when you get Salvation…you get Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. (no coming back a second time or third time It is good the first time.)

Great in its benefits. Psalms 103:2- 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Jesus has Redeemed us

Jesus has Forgiven us

Jesus has Justified us 1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (Romans 5:1)

3. Jesus has Sanctified us- 30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV)

4: Jesus has given us Eternal Life-

11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13: These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

14: And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Great in its Climax-Ephesians 4

Great in its scope- 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 KJV)

God tasted death for every man- 9: But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Hebrews 2:9)

3 Things That God Looks At:

God looks at the heart

God looks at the soul

God looks at every need you have

In this study I learned that God looks at 3 things that are in important to Him. He looks at the heart, soul, and every need that His child has. He is also waiting for the sinner to accept His plan of salvation. That way, a sinner can have this great gift of Salvation.

The Love of God

Matthew 22:36-39- 36:Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  37: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  38:  This is the first and great commandment. 39:  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

John 15:9-11- 9: As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10: If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11: These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full

John 15:17- 17: These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Romans 13:8-10- 8: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9:For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10: Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

John 21:17- 17: He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

--------------------------------------------------

I have learned the following:  That I have to continue to love the Lord with everything that I have.  Everytime that I am hungry or thirsty the Lord has provided food for me to eat and the drink for when I thirsted.  Also I learned that if I take food to a home or clothes to an individual, and visit the sick, Jesus reminds me, I have done it for Him.
The most important commandment is that again, we should love God with everything we have.  Also, if I continue to love everyone that I come in contact with, (even my enemies) I shall expect nothing in return.  I have to be kind, to the ungrateful and the evil and have mercy.  For Jesus is merciful.
Again, I have to love one another as Christ loves, by me loving as Christ loves, I am showing to the world I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.  I will continue to be loved by God if I keep his commandments.
Jesus will continue to love me inspite of my wrong doings.  He will continue to show His love toward me, if I abide in Him.  Jesus loves me so much, that He took my place on Calvary.  He laid down His own life for me.
Also being His child, Jesus will give me enough love to love another.  I do not owe anyone anything except the love of God, for God came to fulfill the law and has fulfilled the law.
I love God so therefore, if I love God, I will want to tell others about His love.  God loves me in return and I am known by God. 
Everything that I do has to be done in love.  I am to love others as I love myself and love God.  If I stay in the will of God, he will direct my heart to the Love of God and steadfastness of Christ.  If I continue to abide in the light (Jesus Christ) and God I shall not stumble. 
If I continue to abide in Jesus and believe in the name of his Son I will continue to love others and if I continue to keep His commandments, I will abide in Him and Christ in me. 
I believe that Jesus is the Christ and has been born of God and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of Him, by this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 
For this is the love of God, that we should keep His commandments
"In Whom We Have"
 
Ephesians 1:7-In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
 
Hebrews 9:26-For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
 
1 Timothy 2:5-For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
 
Hebrews 4:15-For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
 
1 John 2:1-My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
 
Ephesians 1:7-In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
 
Romans 5:1-5-1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
 
Romans 5:2-By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
 
In this study or teaching Jesus had to remind us His children that He was the sacrifice for our sin.  He also reminds us that He is the Mediator.  We have to go through Jesus to get to the Father.  The Father reminds us that we have a High Preist, and the High Preist being Jesus Christ, because, Jesus Christ can not be touched with our inferminites, but we (the children of God) can go to Jesus with our problems. 
The children of God also have access to the Father, for when our earthly father can not help us with our problems, we can pray to our Heavenly Father for help.  The reason, why the children of God have access to the Father is because, Jesus his Son, has redeemed us and forgave us of our every sin. 
When we go to the Lord in prayer and the devil says "Yes, you have "sinned", Jesus reminds the devil, that we have been "forgiven" of that sin and we are now justified through Jesus Christ.  Then Jesus Christ renews our faith to keep going.
The child of God has access by faith into the grace of God in which the child of God stands and rejoices in the hope of the glory of God.

Jewels are precious to God

Malachi 3:17 - And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

Revelation 21:19 - And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

Psalms 116:15 - Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Six things that Jewels are to God
1. Jewels are precious
2. Jewels are costly
3. Jewels have to be refined
4. Jewels are durable (God knows what we can carry)
5. Jewels are rare (priceless) Jesus bought me, I am precious to God. I can not be bought or sold.)
6. Jewels are to be displayed.
 
In this study on Jewels I learned that Jewels are precious, costly and have to be refined.  Also, jewels are durable.  I learned that Jesus bought me and I am precious to Him.  His children can not be bought and sold to anyone.  Also, jewels are rare and they are to be displayed.

The children of God are Heaven's jewels.  His children are precious and of value to God.

What Is Hope

1Corinthians 15:17-19-17: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.18: Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19: If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Hope- is a blending of expectations and desires.  Hope is the spice of life for the believer.

There is hope in Jesus Christ

Listed below is a list of things that people put their "hope" in:  these are known as "false hopes".

1.  People put their hope in others.

2.  People put their hope in church

3.  People put their hope in their works.

 

Eternal Hopes 

1.  A Christian's hope is in Jesus

2.  A Christian's hope is Alive and Well.

3.  A Christian's hope is in Heaven

4.  A Christian's hope will come to a reality.

Titus 2:13- 13:Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

1 Corinthians 15:51&52-51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Revelation 21:4- 4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

John 14:1-3-1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.2: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Revelation 21:7-7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

1 John 5:5-5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

1Corinthians 15:55-58-55: O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  56: The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

What I learned from this study, is that if I don't keep my eyes on Jesus, satan can easily and quickly pull me into one of his many traps, he tries to place in my path to get me to take my eyes off of Jesus.  Also, I learned and had to be reminded by Jesus that if I keep my eyes  and hope in Him (Jesus) He will give me a home in Heaven and that will soon come to reality because, I am His child. 

Also, I learned in this study on Hope that only the work that I do for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be accounted for and will matter.  The work that I do for the Lord is not in vain.  I had to be reminded that my "Hope" is Alive and Well and that my hope is in Jesus Christ. 

Twenty-three Promises of Psalm 91
1. You shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1).
2. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler (Psalm 91:3).
3. Surely He shall deliver you from the noisome pestilence.
4. He shall cover you with His feathers (Psalm 91:4).
5. His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
6. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night (Psalm 91:5).
7. You shall not be afraid of the arrow that flieth by day.
8. You shall not be afraid of the pestilence that walks in darkness (Psalm 91:6).
9. You shall not be afraid of that which destroys at noonday.
10. Though 1,000 fall at your left and 10,000 at your right, it shall not come near you (Psalm 91:7).
11. Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the wicked (Psalm 91:8).
12. There shall no evil befall you (Psalm 91:10).
13. There shall no plague come near your dwelling.
14. God shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11).
15. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone (Psalm 91:12).
16. You shall tread upon the lion, adder, young lion, and dragon (Psalm 91:13).
17. God will deliver him (Psalm 91:14,15).
18. Will set him on high.
19. Will answer him (Psalm 91:15).
20. Will be with him in trouble.
21. Will honor him.
22. Will satisfy him with long life (Psalm 91:16).
23. Will show him His salvation.
Many are the promises of God. They cover every known need of life, here and hereafter, and reveal to what extent God has made provision to help man in his struggle to overcome sin, sickness, and Satan, and regain the full dominion that he lost in Adam when he fell. The ultimate purpose of God in all His present dealings with man is to bring him back to the place where he was before the fall and purge him of all possibility of failing in the future.
 
In this study I also learned that God will always keep his promises.  God's promises are true.  Also, Jesus will be with me in hard times.  I also learned that if I continue to rely on God's promises every thing will work out just as the Lord wanted it to work out.
