03/06/20 GOD PROVIDES FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT
Jesus provided for us to travel 1st. Class on our spiritual journey.
Come on up, "enter into the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 7:21-27
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Not only does God save us from a life of sinning, He saves us from a life of internal conflict. We can not only be saved from committing sin we can be saved from the corruption of inherited sin.
2 Peter 1:2-4
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Jesus not only saves us from sin's punishment, but from sin's pollution and sin's power. Jesus not only saves us from the condemnation we brought on ourselves, by our own sins, He saves us from the corruption we inherited from Adam. Jesus saves us from the gutter-most to the uttermost.
Hebrews 7:25
25 Wherefore he (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
