Salvation Is Permanent Part 9
Greetings Friends, grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Cheers my friends, the blessings continues with out end. The salvation God has granted you is permanent because God at the moment you believed in Christ , Baptized you by the Holy Spirit and placed you into the body of Christ. The Church is the body of Christ, and Christ is the head of the body. Lord thank you for this opportunity to share with my brothers and sister who are fellow members along with me of the body of Christ, as always I ask that you guide me in Jesus name, Amen
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13).
Your body is made up of many parts, no part of your body is disposable, no part of your body is less important then any other part. If one part of your body is threatened by injury, the whole body will come to its rescue. If your hand is smashed in a door the whole body feels the pain. If your eyes get blinded your whole body suffers. So it is with the body of Christ, the Church. Once you become a part of the body, you will always be a part of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:12-26 The apostle Paul explains in-depth concerning the body of Christ. The Church is the body of Christ and Christ is the head of the body. So we are the body and Christ is the head. The body recieve it’s instruction from the head.18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. ( Col 1:18). The body is Church, not the building that we call the Church. The building we call the church is the place where the Church meets to worship God. It is the Church the ( believers) that worship God not the building.
My Friends be careful, it is possible that you are a member of the local Church and yet you are not saved because you have never believed in Jesus Christ suffering and dying on the cross for your sin and you have never asked Him to forgive you. If this is true, what a tragedy, and what a shame on us that something like this could happen right before our eyes. My friends take this time to come to Jesus He saves. Amen. If God has given you the strength to come to Jesus, congratulations ? le me know.
God bless you
