God is love(1Jn 4:8).
He redeems souls with His blood(1Pe 1:17-18),
Saves souls born of His blood, and
Takes them to the kingdom of the Son He loves(Col 1:13).
Faith is loving the souls bought by His blood and
The life of this faith is keeping my soul in God's love and snatching souls from the fire to save them.
Love is the core of all religions, philosophies, morals, ethics etc.
Though the love of mankind that pursues
To eradicate sickness, achieve ecological preservation, freedom, civil rights etc, is
Praised as the most noble kind of love,
It is very rarely achieved.
Yet there are those, such as firefighters, who
Daily throw themselves into the fire and rescue others,
Carrying out love with their bodies.
The Bible is the story of God sending
His Only Begotten Son to save mankind
From the universe that will become hell, the lake of fire(Mt 25:41; 2Pe 3:7-13), and
Move them into the spiritual heaven, since
Adam, the living being made of both flesh and spirit(Ge 2:7), was
Deceived by the devil and sinned(Ge 2:17, Ge 3:4-6), because of which
All men had to pay the price of sin, the second death(Jn 5:29; Rev 20:14-15).
While the Law, which the Israelites received,
Revealed sin and put them under death(Rm 7:9-13),
It also commanded sin offering, where
The atoning sacrifice died and sinners lived by the sprinkling of blood(Lev 4:13-20).
The tablets inside the Ark and the atonement cover of
The sanctuary reminded them of this.
Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days, because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body(Jn 2:19-21),
He would save souls from the eternal fire of hell(Mt 25:41; Mk 9:43-48) by
Becoming a ransom for them(Mt 20:28), for
He is the Word, the Spirit, God in the beginning(Jn 1:1, Jn 1:14) who
Came as the last Adam(1Co 15:44-48).
As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished(Jn 19:30), declaring that He:
1. Revealed the love of the Father that gave His Only Begotten Son(Mt 27:46; 1Jn 4:10);
2. Judged the origin of sin, the devil(1Jn 3:8); and
3. Redeemed all men through His blood so they might receive the forgiveness of sin(Eph 1:7).
The Father raised Him in three days and
Brought Him into the kingdom of the Son He loves(Col 1:13).
The Holy Spirit lets Christians know
The love of God that redeemed their souls through the precious blood and
Gave birth to them as children through birth pains(Rm 5:5), and thus
The value of their souls.
The man of the Spirit
Loves his soul more than anything in the world and
Never does anything to harm his soul.
He keeps his soul in God's love(Jude 1:21), and
Puts every effort to snatch other souls from the fire and save them, for
He can neither go to hell
Nor see anyone else go to hell.
O Lord,
Awaken our souls and
Give us the heart to save souls so that
We can all escape this burning universe! Amen.
