YouTube - The hope of salvation: ""

1
00:00:00,0 --> 00:00:08,308
Salvation is not as some would describe it
a DONE DEAL dear friends

2
00:00:08,575 --> 00:00:15,782
Salvation is a HOPE that we have
We have the HOPE of SALVATION IN THE END

3
00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:18,752
IF WE CONTINUE WITH JESUS

4
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:25,58
If we accept Jesus as our Lord and our Master

5
00:00:25,58 --> 00:00:31,898
and we REPENT of our SINS
Then HE IMMEDIATELY FORGIVES us

6
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:33,299
ALL our PAST SINS

7
00:00:33,299 --> 00:00:36,736
and HE GIVES us LIFE

8
00:00:36,736 --> 00:00:42,442
But in order for us to maintain that life

9
00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:45,979
and realize the final hope of eternal life

10
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:51,985
We have to continue and follow Jesus
right until the end

11
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:55,221
We must be HOLY and OBEY HIM

12
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:57,991
or else we LOOSE that HOPE

13
00:00:57,991 --> 00:01:04,464
But if we should die immediately after we have accepted Jesus
as our King and our Lord

14
00:01:04,464 --> 00:01:06,366
and we have repented of sin

15
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:14,641
we will have eternal life
The problem is that we must CONTINUE in the HOPE

16
00:01:14,641 --> 00:01:18,345
that He has given us when we accepted Him

17
00:01:18,345 --> 00:01:24,751
Paul describes this very nicely in Romans 8:22-25

18
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:34,294
:22 He says: For we know that the whole creation groans
and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now

19
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:43,3
:23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves

20
00:01:43,3 --> 00:01:49,509
waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption
of our body

21
00:01:49,509 --> 00:01:55,15
:24 for IN HOPE WE HAVE BEEN SAVED but hope that
is seen is not hope

22
00:01:55,15 --> 00:02:00,353
for why does one also hope for what he sees?

23
00:02:00,353 --> 00:02:08,728
:25 But if we HOPE for what we DO NOT SEE,
with PERSEVERANCE we WAIT EAGERLY FOR IT.

24
00:02:08,728 --> 00:02:13,199
So we see here in :23 He says what we are WAITING FOR


25
00:02:13,433 --> 00:02:22,108
is we are eagerly waiting for our adoption as sons,
the redemption of our bodies

26
00:02:22,108 --> 00:02:26,713
Now what does that mean people?
The redemption of our bodies?

27
00:02:26,713 --> 00:02:36,713
We read further in 1 Corinthians 15:50-53
Paul also writes, He says: Now I say this brethren,

28
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:45,699
that FLESH and BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
nor does the PERISHABLE inherit the IMPERISHABLE.

29
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:55,175
:51 Behold I tell you a MYSTERY, we shall NOT ALL SLEEP,
meaning we will not all DIE but we shall ALL BE CHANGED

30
00:02:55,175 --> 00:03:02,549
:52 in a MOMENT, in a TWINKLING OF AN EYE,
at the LAST TRUMPET for the trumpet will sound

31
00:03:02,549 --> 00:03:07,53
and the DEAD will be RAISED IMPERISHABLE
and we shall be CHANGED

32
00:03:07,53 --> 00:03:15,562
:53 For this PERISHABLE must put on the IMPERISHABLE
and this MORTAL must put on IMMORTALITY.

33
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:20,967
Dear freinds that is our HOPE that when Jesus comes

34
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:28,508
that those who sleep in Christ, those who died
who lived their life with Jesus and for Jesus

35
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:37,717
and ENDURED UNTIL they DIED
they will be WOKEN UP, they will come up from the graves

36
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:41,755
and they will inherrit eternal life

37
00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:46,626
Also those who are still alive, they will be CHANGED in a moment

38
00:03:46,626 --> 00:03:51,197
now that is the HOPE of SALVATION but there is a CONDITION

39
00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:56,236
and that is that we OBEY JESUS CHRIST

40
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:59,72
That we LIVE in UTTER HOLINESS

41
00:03:59,72 --> 00:04:04,310
Dear friends Jesus will REFUSE MANY PEOPLE in the last day

42
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:08,515
Many Christians, many people who BELIEVED that they were SAVED

43
00:04:08,515 --> 00:04:15,255
because once they did meet with Jesus
they did accept Him as Lord

44
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:18,858
but they DID NOT OBEY HIM and FOLLOW HIM

45
00:04:18,858 --> 00:04:21,594
and SERVE HIM AS LORD
They REFUSED

46
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:29,2
they BELIEVED that they had SALVATION
they had the HOPE but they did not look after the hope

47
00:04:29,2 --> 00:04:35,108
We must keep that HOPE ALIVE through our OBEDIENCE TO JESUS

48
00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:38,445
through our RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

49
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:43,216
Many people NEVER get into that RELATIONSHIP with JESUS CHRIST

50
00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:45,719
Dear friends, it is not about KNOWING THE BIBLE

51
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:50,123
It is about being in a RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

52
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:53,360
The Bible gives us wonderful HOPE

53
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,31
because these mysteries have been written up there

54
00:04:58,31 --> 00:05:03,536
But if we do not continue in a close relationship with Jesus

55
00:05:03,536 --> 00:05:05,505
then we have NO HOPE

56
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,474
we might KNOW about these things

57
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:10,477
and we might have FALSE HOPE

58
00:05:10,477 --> 00:05:12,345
of having eternal life

59
00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:15,148
but there is a catch

60
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:18,118
because Jesus Christ is the DOOR

61
00:05:18,118 --> 00:05:21,654
and He is going to say to many people in that day

62
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:24,190
GO AWAY I NEVER KNEW YOU

63
00:05:24,190 --> 00:05:27,494
because they were workers of INIQUITY

64
00:05:27,494 --> 00:05:31,798
Many of them preachers
many of them church people

65
00:05:31,798 --> 00:05:34,300
Many people who thought that they were SAVED

66
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:39,372
but they never got into a close relationship with Jesus

67
00:05:39,372 --> 00:05:44,744
Dear friend, if we SIN we cannot be in a relationship with Jesus Christ

68
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:49,582
because WITHOUT HOLINESS
NO MAN SHALL SEE GOD

69
00:05:49,582 --> 00:05:54,287
We must be HOLY
We must hold on to the HOPE

70
00:05:54,287 --> 00:06:01,261
and PURIFY ourselves and
walk in a daily close relationship with Jesus Christ

71
00:06:01,261 --> 00:06:03,396
We must be WITNESSES for Him

72
00:06:03,396 --> 00:06:05,965
we must be FRUITFUL IN HIS KINGDOM

73
00:06:05,965 --> 00:06:09,135
we must SERVE
we must LOVE EACH OTHER

74
00:06:09,135 --> 00:06:15,175
we must OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST
and ENDURE UNTIL THE END

75
00:06:15,175 --> 00:06:19,512
If we GIVE UP just before the end, we have lost it dear friends

76
00:06:19,512 --> 00:06:25,151
We got to hold on to Jesus and be faithful until the end

77
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:30,824
like He was faithful
Dear friend hold on to the HOPE

78
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:35,228
that you have in Jesus and if you don't have that hope yet

79
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:38,131
if you have not met Jesus yet

80
00:06:38,131 --> 00:06:44,738
Go on your knees now and invite Jesus into your heart
into your life

81
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:48,842
ask Him to forgive your sins
cry out to Him

82
00:06:48,842 --> 00:06:54,914
until you know that you have met up with Him
Because He will give you PEACE IN YOUR HEART

83
00:06:54,914 --> 00:07:00,286
and then my friend you will have the HOPE of ERTERNAL LIFE

84
00:07:00,286 --> 00:07:02,422
Hold on to that HOPE

85
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:03,923
be HOLY

86
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:05,592
OBEY JESUS

87
00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:08,61
and FOLLOW HIM UNTIL THE END

88
00:07:08,61 --> 00:07:11,197
HOLD ON TO THE HOPE my friend

89
00:07:11,197 --> 00:07:13,466
May Jesus bless you
