Salvation - What does being safe mean | Elder Ang Peng Hoe

You're listening to a message to go from ex church. We hope this message

will light up your day. I'm going to share a message on salvation today,

like she finished and more teaching on salvation. She just like, and

I simply entitled the message what does it? What does being safe mean?

You found that? Tina just easy? But I'm just gonna started off by

asking you to imagine around that actually and I feel, of course, let

was preparing this message knowing that yesterday was Revel that was actually a woman the

revel in like and believing with the entire revel team that there will be uh

new believers beginning their journey from Revel yesterday onwards. Now sing se you're singering,

I want to just bring our attention to why we continue to do what

we do in reaching out to others now like sitting and so I hope by

the end of today we will have a clearer understanding on what salvation really is.

In the catuity is shoot thou easy? So imagine we mean okay?

Like is imagine a swimmer gets into difficulties swimming in the beach area? Die

you're young? And how do you die? High? Hand shat high Nally

you your young Imagine he starts to struggle, and good thing, there was

a lifeguard who was alert and saw his struggles and decided to swim out to

help him. Radioganization that your eager jo. By the time the life guard

gets to the person, the person is already drowning, floating ready because you

take not take on the cigaree holding it's don't think the d fold. The

person is motionless, don't think. The life guard decides to pull the person

back to the shore. Now the tort decides to administer CPR. Rad has

seen food, seen faded full shoe and then a while after that they start

seeing signs of breath again the call and this person is alive. This person

has been saved. You see, in such a situation, it's quite natural

for us to use that word save that answer the someone who is in danger,

someone who is at the point of death, don't take quin And then

through the efforts of a third party, this person is rescued censored j joa

ta and this person is safe. Yet, when we use the same verb

when we are talking about our religious experience, because sun and leaders don't when

someone asks you are you safe, the honey Jola, man, it seems

quite strange. She quiet, after all, no under normal day to day's

circumstances. Now in type he read down to the real tunction whole. Where

is the need for pleasant people like us to experience being safe? I a

woman beeton Jona, And so sometimes when we use the words as Christians,

it seems like a bit of an overkill. No, you use the words

safe because you're usually safe when you are in grave danger. Now woman ran

in wait. It's like a quantaine down. But the word salvation actually has

the same root with the words safe, saved salvage because Jo sooner they got

to had a conyen that they got y j j. It's actually a very

big word. We quite a man, quite many shades of meaning. Hi,

your face is and it is the very heart of what we believe.

Isn't just womans that got hurting. You know, I will always until today

being in the faith for the past maybe twenty four years, you J.

I remember the first time I actually responded to the lor well faced change who

in this? And I can be you know, I can I can readily

admit that it was not as dramatic as how some of y'all may have encountered

you may it's not very ex closed as how past and he talks chairs about

his salvation story is quite amazing. When yeah, I responded to God in

my study on my study table. Actually, well that's the whole. Know.

It wasn't out of desperation needing to pass an exam, ye, so

y'all, y'ao your it was just me coming to the realization of who God

is, not what downs the whole. You can't shout out the evasion.

And while it may be the most undramatic event for myself and everyone else,

like how do you cantialize or hunting ten, I knew it was nothing short

of a miracle for me personally because CD and so I pray that as we

understand what salvation really is down woman difference, certainly the Jewish easy that's her,

that each and every one of us will always remember that whatever happened for

us was a miracle and continues to be a miracle until today. Turnt no

Madrid face haunts. She deepened the Aga city. So let's look at some

different factors involved in salvation around She can't say that jeusually man, that's gun

and easy what does being safe mean? And Jyo the shore easy and so

I've broken it down your fancy shoe and this is when Okay, I can't

remember what's the term for the connecting the prepositions English teachers, all your from

to go go back first, go back first? Is it prepositions? Prepositions?

Okay? So the prepositions are important, Sena, I don't know how

the grammar. The grammar is important. So you look at the prepositions from

after by true wave too, for all those things are very very important,

PERI. Yeah, An, so you're going to explore Salvation is from scene

That means we are saved from scene, we are saved after repentance. We

are saved by grace, save true, fave, safe with assurance, save

to holiness, save for eternity. So you know, man, you're kind

of not so yes, Sue way have fashion pins and that's a God scene

saying Hi, you're about jos your room. Okay, so let's go to

teaching today. Roman salvation is from sin. Romans five eight says, but

God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while

we were still sinners. Roman, shay, that woman high way, Woman's

all of us. All of us have got troubles, and in fact sometimes

we think that there is nothing but trouble in this world. This sounds my

family, Why do you? May be the stitching and problems and troubles are

quite apparent in life today. Romans can't doubt she's a face on the tour

loneliness, fear, boreder, poverty, war, catastrophes. Women, you

kind of your jeep farm, pink fi dungeon, China. But what is

the trouble? Because mandinally, what is the cause of it all? This

soil man, that thirteing, that gunnyence summer. And the simple answer is

sin until uh three. And that is God's explanation for all our troubles.

Not ation by woman. So the take if you're coming to God to get

all the troubles sorted out, but you don't bring him this one thing,

you will never find. The solution is you don't. If you don't bring

him sin, you will never find the solution. Put found that woman,

turn find and go out that it got found. And the thing is we

always present our problems. Woman, won't he the allegation. But God's diagnoses

is that the root of the problem. The heart of the disease is sin

hoighlight. She hold, don't sing her seeing So imagine with me again.

Okay, it's a patient. Bus is a doctor, just Issian, and

he tells the doctor that he's feeling lonely and he's feeling a bit down.

Sure, go down. But as they chair doctor, the doctor starts noticing

certain symptoms. How do you fashion out easy? That's trunk. You notice

in the patient's eyes. You notice the labored breeding in the patient. Who

see he noticed the color of his lips, you kind of sir, And

then comes to a conclusion that this person, this patient is actually suffering from

a very serious illness. Rather cann Tiger has the true tag a fishing drunk.

Time he tries to talk about these symptoms, how do you know she

take a pin run drunk? He starts asking questions to the patient. Do

you that she won't take a pin run? Won't he? General health particular

questions, everything relating to the disease, like one on, you take a

pinching, that take a one he but the but the patient just will not

have any of it because you take a pingron You realized, wait, one't

he and he just goes on about the fact that he feels bored and he

feels lonely. How do you eat through the short go down the farmine until

the doctor actually interrupts and said, do you mind if I if I tell

you something? Sow not Tasian had your thing rule like she saw me com

you can sure she don't see, I believe you are suffering from a very

deaily disease eating fish waited the drunk time, far more serious than your bottom

and far more serious than your isolation. Pannie, they say the good If

you don't let me examine you, chances are you might end up date she

like she can the pint quiet. But suppose suppose if the patients still I'm

not going to have any of this are like she, so he can say,

I can't accept that. How do you don't see I don't believe that

I'm sick. I really am just born and lonely down her family. You

see, when we come to God with our day to day troubles and our

day to day problems, say woman, the one means I believe he wants

to deal first with the root of all our troubles, like she's so seeing

and she and that is sin. That is the deaily disease in which all

our problems, everything that we are going through is it's just symptoms of sin.

She's a trainer. Sooner three to y'all to take a woman sinager pinching.

What does sin do? Sin numbs are spiritual nerves. Train how I

like she arounman's suling, so that we do not feel the evil of sin,

can show traits or thail urging, nor do we feel the presence of

God around. Actually can't show that. Basically, it causes us to be

spiritually insensitive, even a roundman. That's schooling Shanga maor mein canto. That

is why sin is such a deaily disease, not just a waste tree face

face hanga pasi and pinching. It is not just a question of wrong things

we do, Thai woman for the city, not just about breaking God's law.

Fan. It goes was much deeper within. Hasn't face won't he anything

Anything that causes insensusivid and numbness is dangerous. Soe a round woman, grandma,

and don't face. There is a reason why we have pain receptors in

our body. There's the way some woman sound that you're easier just to diet.

It keeps us safe. Has a round woman and die ancient family.

You know. Whenever we go to Indonesia, but friends who especially in linke

Toba area, he will always bring the group to a leprosy camp. That

woman found the friends take your deeping the math fun being that take a search

and the thing with leprosy is a lot of them can't feel. I can't

remember how it works, like I don't ask me and the doctors maybe can

help, but I know they can start losing their limbs without even knowing it

from being the haunts. Not how much teas the soldan kai and that's it's

dangerous when we're insensitive. So it's a face hung and face invasian man.

Shout out, take a tongue you see. Sin is something which technically we

all inherited. Yeah, she a woman, take a woman eat it is

what we are. Woman. But yo, we get it from our parents.

Our parents got it from their parents. Tryan salide whole woman. It's

something called a congenital disease. Basically you get it at birth. Ju East

trus It blinds us to the truth. He blinds us to goodness. Around

until finally we are spiritually dead. That woman in a deep duice is suling

sounds her We are no longer able to relate or respond to God at all,

or even able to relate and respond to goodness sooner. And this is

the faith that awaits all of us, not around woman around, tilling woman

the deepot. And this is what Jesus actually described hell as technically not a

year. And this is why there is such a desperation for us, such

a need for us to be saved. So does a waste a moment to

your face, hand around about you? You know, sometimes we can go

God, why couldn't you just overlook the sins of this world? You more?

She can't take it to your let's close on eyela, it's life would

have been so much easier, right, But it is because God loves that

just invas on the eye woman, It is because his love is pure and

holy in the iron than to your face. He did something far more costly

than simply overlook our things. Told the eager fag greater like that is either

more cheat woman to take a cheating He gave his son to die for it.

Haranga had a way like cheat woman. He paid the price, which

makes sem actually the most expensive commodity in the world. Three and greater because

it caused God the death of his son Jesus inna the nel yes to wayomans

take a You see, sin had to be paid for, not paid,

because this is a moral universe where God rains in woman. That's true,

that trend, and he is perfect, he is just, he is true

one made that has gone either. Certainly, God's holiness demands that all sin

must be punished. Thout shamble, pay, spay, turn far. But

God's love provided the cross of Jesus, by which men can have forgiveness and

cleansing. And yes, now woman, you wait, Quanshu, just remember

this. Yeah, what are laws for c It's it's technically for good,

Okay, laws Usually it's introduced so that things are in order. But sitting

your round sitting. But there's always a problem with law, cause would't he

find And the problem is what do you do to those who break the law?

Not just find the li fatheran truly, And it doesn't matter whether it's

a young child or baby or a seasoned criminal. Now you only have two

options when someone breaks the law. Now, Igoran, like she finally,

young, you can either punish the person eager not or you can pardon she

can't show. It's either you exercise justice. I need nick like you're gonna

either she toots it or you exercise mercy and me like she can't that.

You see, no human could do too. Only God could exercise both pardon

and also punished at the same time. Hacker like she too like show.

Basically what Jesus did was he took upon the sins. So he took the

punishment for us seven year depens Jude for the woman died. Yeah, and

then at the same time, it was the wrongdoer who experienced his mercy find

the traitically and me. You see, God hated sin, but he loved

sinners. Sinners are victims of sin, show hid the Ultimately, God wanted

to destroy sin, but he wished to save the sinner who committed it.

How could he separate the two Even before the first man committed the first Scenegerger

run thiund had fun tradition. God knew the answer, and he knew the

answer will cost him the sacrifice of his own pay season. That is why

there can be no Christianity without the Cross. That just the way. May

that is the cost for forgiveness, not just in way that woman forgiveness,

woman the quanshu, And forgiveness is the greatest need of every human. Now

may eager run the future. And it is the it's the cause that has

been born entirely by God thrue the suffering of Jesus Christ one one eating paid

years eating food. You know we are made up of we're we're human beings.

We are made up of our physical self, our spiritual self, our

mental self. Now, woman's runners your singling, Hi ta you know the

cross Jesus went to physical agony, not years sooner sent yep bait moller.

They beat him senseless hamad mao is he had to go to mental agony.

He was actually executed for crimes that he did not commit. The not pay.

He had to go to spiritual agony. The more because you think about

it, he was actually cut off from his own father in pay had a

full You had to go to hell to us at the next time, just

to cheat out the un And so what is it that we are safe from?

Say woman down beaton Joe the patent safe from woman petent? Amen,

Amen, let's move on salvation is after repentance, So sui away guys.

Home X chapter three, verse nineteen sixty is now repent of your sins and

turned to God so that your sins may be wiped away. Guy, quit

traitor, eat more and show the words you bet on to mention? What

is repentance? Take away, guys? Does it mean feeling sorry? Guys?

Feeling sorry for what we have done about that is technically remorse to take

a sun it's a good thing. Actually, how do you say? How?

Don't see? But it's not actually repentant type because in reality, most

of us feel sorry about the consequences of our actions, even a woman way

in wait to take a a woman take a whole or something. So we

feel sorry for the consequences of our scenes. We feel sorry for the punishment

we have to go through, the damage relationship that has caused the accusations scandals,

say just who. But repentance is not just feeling sorry. Repentance is

just being sorry enough to stop way like she changes take a three, because

true repentance is when you do it no more in when a turn and awake,

I just need one fine And that is what repentance is. Being willing

to let our sins go. Wake a woman you need but take a t

It shows that we really want to be saved. There's a woman center and

ya like she patent, and he also shows us that we know exactly what

is it. We are being saved from a woman sent Some don't see a

patent tru life. So it's quite impossible to actually have sins and salvation at

the same time. Not hung me out the woman your treeman. You are,

you're patent. They're both mutually exclusive and her. If you're running towards

your savior power, you have to leave your scenes behind when someone your pany

the tree because we are saved after repentance, wan and yo, amen,

does that make sense? Salvation is by grace? Jo sooner, he hints

in Romans Tree twenty four, says yes, God in his grace freely makes

us right in his side. He did this true Christ Jesus when he freed

us from the penalty for our sins. Mons, Jo, shuit you bye,

by the It took me a while to realize this few basic things about

Christianity. The first thing is this that I could do nothing to save myself.

Okay, it's all. And the second thing is this you shir that

God did not require me to do anything? Lies? And the other thing

is this this son that Christ has done it all? T is in thought

eating one trend you see. By nature, we are always suspicious when it

comes to three things like that means faid that don't see you anything offered free

of charge. You'll be like, how do I accept this charity? Me?

And what's you start wondering whether is there some strings attached there? There's

always suspicion and distrust Hawaiian. And this is one of the reasons why it's

so hard for people to accept God's grace, not just away corn Indian for

grace just means too simple things Indian type of youngest. Your bad deeds are

no hindrance to the whigt same way, why the I and your good deeds

are no help needs I see fund me and it means how will he either?

When you come to God for salvation, So how will he either?

In short, it doesn't matter how bad you are. Welln't need to and

it certainly doesn't matter how good you are. Sometimes we think the more good

things I do, I will be able to clock up some malage, clock

up some points and get salvation. Woman and general the tea. So it

does not matter what bad things you have done in the past, it cannot

put you beyond redemption. She died aroundie like she died white that it doesn't

matter what good deeds you have done, book seeing the doors out the sand,

it cannot save You're either they may be a barrier if you come to

God not empty handed, not colonel who is eager ton Mayo, And so

if you comer with one hand God good one, it's a barrier. So

just a Nazi so needs thing the suns siners not used it to I if

you come with one hand with bad one, Yeah, you know, God

just wants us to come with nothing, Sanatiso Hong kongout. He wants us

to come empty handed, Hong Kong because what is the posture of of empty

hands? Even so, Conness, it's a posture of receiving notice, malisho,

congness. What we must understand is we can do nothing to deserve grace.

Not so woman may or woman her sitting that she take, but you

still need to receive it because heigh she liketing so and you still need to

receive it with you outstretched hands womens the sanctions. See, grace is not

an irresistible force that comes upon your life without reception. Used to hunt.

Yeah, but indeed there is nothing you can do to deserve it turns Male

grant her, citing that she may take us a whole lifetime of struggling before

we realize this. Now Eastern turns out like she one she mean by there's

nothing a person can do to save himself or herself a male. It's like

she that you sue. God requires nothing of us, male t me.

That's what grace is an acronym for God's riches at Christ's expense is inturnuation,

the functions that interest to pay for the tea. So remember, don't come

with anything in your hands. So he did, and that's the hope.

So others don't see except empty hands that will receive God's amen. Amen.

So salvation is by grace and grace alone. Sooner Joseph Painter and D and

n. But it is true faith has a whole God seeing seeing. See.

That's that's essentially what the act of receiving is. N. So the

taker sing the young ephicients to it, says this, say, if it

was the party God saved you by his grace when you believed, and you

can't take credit for this. It is a gift from God who earned in

the scene was a truly nixisan. It is by grace true faith. Jose

who faith is only the link Erna had to faith faith sing sing had to

the link linking joint grace provides the power. Now, Gay, it's the

So what is faith? Seeing? The first thing that we have to establish

is this singleman assocaing. Faith is not a matter of feeling, see sing

So, I do not feel my sins are forgiven or the scene in pay,

but I know they are because God has said so in his words,

will pay, not just invasion. How you see it? That so,

faith is not a feeling, although wonderful feelings may follow faith in Christ.

Sing sing Gansuna say so, it's the same thing, but it is not

the feeling that is the faith, but the faith can create the feeling.

A woman the gip a woman a gun so singsoner sings k trouns out.

Does that make sense? Meantime? Man? Nor is faith primarily a matter

of to thinking? Sing Sing surveys the of course todd is involved. Answer

your your I think there is some minimum intellectual content needed and necessary for faith

in woman you're eating, that's true, like she sings sing, I mean,

how do you believe in the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity eating this

ship to understand his death, to understand his resurrection? She out, However,

woman does her food. But if you recite the Apostle's creed, because

to sing singing, you know what the apostles creed is. I pray every

day as a as a declaration or wait, and that she turns shanka,

It goes I believe in God, the Father, al mighty, creator of

heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our

Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Okay, so it's not

that the worry or you have the translation. Yeah, and it goes on

saying, no. So I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son,

our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin

Mary. Suffered under Pontius. Pilot, was crucified, died, and was

buried. He descended to the date on the third day, he arose again.

He is he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of

the Father and will come again to judge the living and the date. I

believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy cath lectures, the communion of sains,

the forgiveness of since the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

Amen. Okay, Now I think thing that was seeing something and the food

turns out was seeing word to sound the intert in your taunton uh Taunton named

malis sipantill be loud to show are so nice bathing you. They are so

indient sentience on children, on food chin food, some sandi that you're being

young like bitch young pan hoorn serren or seeing certainly was seeing concern Go was

seeing santong or seeing was in cerenty fo was in men. So every part

of it just says I believe, so make it doesn't quite say I believe

all of that with my mind, Hamel show down the world your the survey

some one young sing uh nothing wrong like I said, nothing wrong in believing

in your mind no manum and the survey like she's. But you have to

understand even the demons believe in your mind face because actually in scriptures is you

say you have faith for you believe that there is one God good for you.

Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in in faga. Demons

take it one extra level. No, not only do they believe, they

anyway show down. Uh they a jouncewers you. That's your show down,

a dumb woman like you. You're sinking the Shona woman. Uh, women,

you're sinking this whole omaning woman's your evasion that conser They say, ye,

young Harman, your councern eaten the ri Harman. That is mention hand.

So what is faith? So it sinks into summer. Faith is to

take all those truths sinks in the juice but soil, and apply them personally.

It's a girl. And that's how in faith is to say Jesus died

for me, sinking ju on the years away war rules for me, way

and it's coming back for me. That's the way way way up. You

see the devil and the demons cannot share that kind of belief. Then you're

to the earth and okay, it's none of them will say anything like that

Christ is coming back for me. No supponnat go shut down the yes the

wait. Wait. So faith is in the sense and act of trust in

which the believer takes his life and puts it into the hands of Jesus,

says, thinking that you're seeing to do the show, don't take sink how

that you don't. It is a daily thing, sing committing myself into the

hands of another powerty inside. You know, in ordinary life we do this

a lot of times. Antis. Well, every time you bought an aero

blade or mansi, even if you ride the bus to school, Romanti,

Yeah, that's an egg of faith, actually putting your life in someone else's

hands, thinking that you don't even fund And every time you go for a

surgeryn't you don't You're putting your life in someone else's hands. The Sami found

door and faith is just dead, sings in the young, putting my ruined

life into the hands of Jesus and giving him responsibility from that point on.

To make me write j Randa, she died, bug woman that she's eating

twit. That's why we are saved by grace, true faith. Master Pinzainal

sees in a patent joke, does that make sense? And now we move

on to salvation is with assurance, sings a pizza about one John five six

to eight reads, and Jesus Christ was revealed as God's son by his baptism

in water and by shedding his blood on the cross, not by water only,

but by water and blood. And the Spirit who is true confirms it

with his test Germany. So we have these tree witnesses, the spirit,

the water and the blood, and all tree agree. How now your hand

is swater straight her ship like the June juice. Ye now straight you pin

pinchas gerly your son certainly straight her you eat Salvation is with assurance your about

young. It is God's will that you know this, since threemans down when

people asked, are you safe, nogd, you wan't in your bait and

so man, God doesn't expect his journ to say, I think so.

Maybe I feel like it. I like to believe that I am. When

justice Colonel mark in guy like he wants us to be sure of its young

hung just a stan thing, not from an arrogant point of view, how

quiet the functions, but be sure with faith, may pin sing sing,

you'll take a a sing scene. We may not be sure of ourselves woman,

not may or dnd, but we can be sure of him and his

promises, because in inter can't doubt. So This assurance comes through his word

of promise at first, about who are you the mean truli? You know,

how do I know I'm safe? Well, I go back to scripture,

Well, you wite outing. Scripture tells me I'm safe when patent.

And then after that it can also come through our conscience as your beginning,

as you begin to be assured that we are free from this destructive thing called

sin. Now women did it'sn't take a man, jos. And then there

is a change in how we live our lives. Guy that we are children

of God. But most importantly, God actually wants to plan it in our

hearts the power of his Holy Spirit, because it's through yes, you see,

it is by this gift that his children can call him Father, not

just in your take and take a lead woman woman. After all, it

is the birth right of his children in that and not this woman. You

see, you think about it, your initial birth right as a human being.

It's actually she's juices. All of us are born with it woman.

But when we are, when we are born again a woman, God now

gives us the Holy Spirit, and that's what will replace the power of singing

our lives. The power of the Holy Spirit eating like she uh lead.

For many believers, they have true faith, received the grace of salvation to

scenes like Jews, but many still lack the assurance about They're always worried about

what will become of me when I stand before God and bailo not her dancing

ap right, and that that somehow weakens our testimony. You wait, that

womany man are just Raman. And for such people the great need is to

ask God to take them one step further. So she used to me and

she and she's taling how that concerned? And that step is to say,

God, pour out your Holy Spirit into our hearts, so that we can

bear witness of the fact that you are real and we are your children.

Concern etern around Timan like she around, certainly around harmand and she sounds and

mean tint harmon uses. I pray we will all understand this. We are

safe with assurance women, soil and so wear your suns, not like the

counting. Don't just since we think of salvation insurance from hell, insurance from

hell. That's what salvation is. Woman, just to push you out,

okay, b and d you to take a ye. It is that.

But more importantly we always got to remember this than it's actually more a liberation

from sin to turns out zero. When you are assured of your salvation,

that woman men your face conting that help, you are essentially saying, I

now understand that I'm free from sin. I'm free to choose to do what

is right? Need you care face? That lit thousand was turns out senter

the city. There was never a choice. To those who don't know who

Jesus Christ may orange taser. And the second last one is this salvation is

too holiness. Dear soon ship one Hebrews seven twenty five says therefore he is

able once and forever to save those who come to God through him. He

lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf sibilized. You did he down

de fank? How teen thousand men gener And it has a tongue te tarman

chill, So don't stop at certain propositions. Yes, salvation is not only

from sin. Now, okay, it's a tong just woman based. But

it's too holiness because the woman one. So it's not just a very negative

kind of exercise and the it's not just we are saved from the from the

drain from the gutter. But we are safe to glory one thousand. We

are safe for a purpose. There's a destiny in our lives and your eager

mean thing women, and that destiny is holiness. That's the main thing.

That just the reality is that we are as holy as we want to be.

Woman, Woman, I don't really believe that there is a package deal

to holiness to be received once and for all. Know when you go to

a church camp, or you pray, or you come to revel and then

prom package deal holiness in your life, A woman, just take a chance.

Holiness is a moment by moment relationship. We've got a woman chances one.

It's not that. And only when we are filled with the Holy Spirit

then will we realize that holiness is no longer something that we can never attain.

Now, woman, uh, just a woman, woman says, certainly

a whole one one. Holiness is just a choice away in reality because that

is us eager eager it is because now we know it is possible not to

sing in you woman, cur strength, and one day it will become impossible

for us to sing all together when the presence of God is tangible, evident

and real in our lives. That you eating montainous and may n like she

tried fun in wait surn that homeside Hi Titan the semi, and that's the

transformative will for that God wants for each and every one of us, not

just a woman for seeing that does it. He wants to set them aside

and set them apart for his glory. It's just seeing she paid fun beation

like way to have the wrong. Yeah. Remember this holiness is not the

same as happiness. God kais younger, simple youngs. In fact, sometimes

unhappy experiences can lead us into holiness aroundman and good thing leader roundman, so

tiring woman. Sometimes God chastises us to lead us into holiness just around and

then leaders here to like sickness, pain, disappointments. All these may come

women hoising talk, but it's to help us become holy concerner surround woman in

the people. Remember holiness first, then happiness will follow, ye the center

Tai sing se. The problem with human nature is we always want happiness first.

Women, women, lads are quite and everything Okay. When we make

it to heaven, then only we become holy. So the ultimate pursuit for

every human here on earth is happiness, not holiness. Make a rest,

you pen quite alert, But we are safe to be holy because woman basen

due to your life shootout yet because ultimately we are safe for eternity. In

when a woman basen Roman six twenty three says is for the wages of sin

is death, but the free gift of God is internal life. To Christ,

Jesus our Lord, and too Nati nice young. You see when God

saves, he says for eternity down Josh has waited, young jee woman totally

and permanent one and that must include holiness. Now eating just about and eternal

is not just referring to quality, but it's also referring to one t you

just you. It has a type of hand. There's a scripture. Don't

just talk about eternal life, say it's memy younger. Scripture talks about abundant

life as well. You someone has short out from summer. It starts with

the here and now. Hasard that your God has never done thing in half

cener type of way. Salvation is forever or it's not salvation at all.

Soon inter young and when salvation has begun, that's the journey that we are

on now. Due the night colonel woman leads, But remember this theater.

Eternal life is a position rather than a possession or man take young hag high

door. It is not transferred to earth, trans to take. It's not

something like oh God, I believe you balm that he transfers eternal life to

you. How do your partake? It's actually shared with us by ourselves.

We don't have it. We only have it in Christ German. Remember the

parable of the branch, the vine and the branch. Now you can't do

it. In John chapter fifteen one to six, you have we read that

the life is not in the branches, but it is drawn from the vine

now natural, and therefore the branch will only survive if it's remained to the

main branch, the vine. Human branches have a free choice remain or or

to depart from the true vine. Actually, Lita and Shoah, that's why

when Jesus explained that variable, he used the word a bye down down,

So how do you hand by in me? Remain in me? Tansen?

Basically another word just means. It's not what it just means. Decide to

stay with me? I just liuta. And this is a decision that we

need to make. Daily. Not just a woman may eating so she daily.

We need to decide to stay with him hands. That is why I

believe salvation or being safe is a process. Now there's a way someone accords

him. It's not a crisis, don't see, it's not a respond to

a crisis. Weight Wait, it's a process, and it's called tenuous.

I take a ship that takes a quaton, and it's a process that I

believe is not fully completed in all of us. Yet saying I take a

quarterly, so how mility is sooner? And so people actually ask me,

am I safe? Nowgo you're that she won't your maut you? And I

always say that I'm being safe. Oh wait, so what's the tide bath?

Don't you? I mean this process of being salvage? Well, I

take what I take a bad Jill Shuder's take a quarter. And so the

important question we need to ask ourselves is where are we in this process?

If it want the quarter? Are we making progress or are we standing still?

Well? Man, your ma the quarter? So man, That's why

when you read scripture, when it talks about life and it talks about salvation,

it's always talking about walking with Jesus say down one time. It's as

homema twntown the way to it. So Jo sooner just said, yes,

eat, we are not static in our faith diamand but remember this salvation.

Although it's a process, it's not mechanical nos coutant scene. It's not like

an assembly line or you're turning around around just a corton this a uh to

salvation is personal because it is a person in. It involves recognition of sin,

has a bow hunter and a woman and go mean bironment that it involves

repentance, waity, grace and faith, assurance, holiness and it lasts forever

Hia. All centers in a person cause as the champona that Tom says eager

and without him it is not mayor how so that's is some other bullshit and

so salvation in one word, so natios that Jesus said yes. So we

hope you've been blessed by this message. For more information on our church,
