The Promise of the Bible: The Way of Salvation

1 Corinthians 3:16 / Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?

Hymn #304 The Love of God Is Greater Far (Unified Hymn 404)

The most important promise of the Bible is salvation. Satan manipulated the "me" that only people knew about and made them leave God. (Genesis 3:4~5) As a result, people perished. They became the Nephilim who were completely seized by Satan (Genesis 6:4~5) and became destroyed while diligently building the Tower of Babel. (Genesis 11:1~8) However, that was where God opened the way of salvation. Starting today, have forum regarding the fifteen points of the way of salvation.

1. The Light, Salvation, Status, Authority, and Assurance
God shines the "light" and gives life. From the moment when you know Christ, who is the light, God's image comes to life and His "breath of life" enters. He restores the blessings of the Garden of Eden so that you can live like a true human being. Above all, when you receive “salvation,” the Holy Spirit of God dwells in you. Now, because the "light of life" is in you, you'll never perish, and the Holy Spirit will guide you. This is your "status." Furthermore, if you just pray, you'll be given "authority" which is the establishment of power that saves God's Kingdom and the world. Therefore, you just need "assurance" regarding the 3•9•3 (The Works of the Triune God, the "9 Blessings of the Throne, & the Power to Save the "3 Ages")

2. When, How, Prayer, Evangelism, & Persecutions (Tests)
"When" was this blessing of salvation prepared? It was before the creation of the world, from long ages past. "How" was it fulfilled? It was through the grace of God by believing in Christ. Now, all you need to do is the "prayer" of establishing 3.9.3 in you. "Evangelism" is enjoying then relaying these facts. The "persecutions and tests" that may come are a time to check and confirm many aspects.

3. Legalism, Mysticism, Humanism, Eschatology, & the End Times
There are factors that destroy a new family of believers and you. First, it's "legalism." This doesn't allow you to forgive both the mistakes of others and the church; instead, it causes you to criticize and condemn. Second, it's "mysticism." Rather than the Gospel and the Word, this places more emphasis on experiences. Third, it's "humanism." This is completely based on people. Finally, it's "eschatology." This makes people focus on the Second Coming of Jesus while denying the existing church and everything else. "The end times" refer to the period between the Resurrection and the Second Coming. At this time, you must live without losing hold of these fifteen points.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for saving me. Please help me enjoy this blessing of salvation. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
