And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” Acts 16:29-30.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
My first and foremost desire for every person is that they be saved and come to know the truth. That is best for your present and future. Once saved, you must know the truth to be set free and begin days of Heaven on earth even now. But it all starts, everything good in your life now and forever, with salvation. I did not send My Son to judge you but to save you. In Adam, all mankind was judged and condemned but in Jesus all are raised to new life, holy and blameless before Me and beyond reproach.
For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach. Colossians 1:19-22.
Salvation begins with being born again.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.
You cannot enter or even see My Kingdom without being born again from above so that you are again in My image and according to My likeness so we can unite as one in fellowship, partnership, and relationship.
For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter 1:23.
Sin had separated you from Me, for it is foreign to My nature, but in Jesus I take care of that.
Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38.
I am more than a friend, though I am that to you who know Me, I am more than a business partner, though I am that to you who listen to My counsel as I teach you to profit and the way you should go, and My relationship with you is far greater than any human family or spousal bond because My relationship with you goes to your very core, to your spirit and soul, where My Spirit joins with your spirit. It is a oneness beyond any earthly bond for it is eternal and it is with your Creator who created you with, out of, and through My great love for you.
But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 1 Corinthians 6:17.
So how do you get into that relationship with Me which in the world has become so distant and unpopular? My Word is shut out of schools, government, public gatherings, movies, shows, entertainment, and worldly glory and rewards. Satan comes to steal the Word out of your heart, mind, world, and time. So how do you get past all that and hear My call to fellowship with Me through My Son?
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.
Jesus gave you the basics and by My Holy Spirit I give you the exact steps to take. It is as easy as a call from you heart to which I respond. But it all starts with a change of mind, a new way world view and a new way of walking and talking. It comes from knowing who you are in Him, a new creation. It is not about your works and efforts to make yourself holy and free of sin but about the work I do in you by your faith in Me and in the One I sent to save you.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. John 1:14-17.
It is simple. Believe in salvation through My Son’s life, death, and resurrection. Let My servant Paul who was saved out of darkness into light tell you how as he explained it to the jailer in Philippi after the miraculous opening of the gates and the release of all prisoners from their chains took place upon the prayers and songs of praise of Paul and Silas.
And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:29-31.
Faith in your redemption in Christ is a wonderful thing, it changes everything in you and about you. The people of Philippi formed the church that never tired of sending offerings to Paul to help him in spreading the good news of salvation because they wanted everyone to have what he had given them, Salvation in Jesus. It breaks the chains and opens prison doors.
And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.” And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:16-21.
Now may I ask you, how are you saved? Only one way.
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Romans 10:8-10.
By faith in Jesus you are saved. Jesus is your salvation.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21.
Salvation is in Jesus alone. The Name Jesus in Hebrew is “Yeshuah” which means “Salvation.” He is His Name. And it has pleased Me to make all the fullness of the Godhead dwell in Him bodily. I was in Christ reconciling you to Myself, not counting your sins against you but accounting them all to Christ. He took your sins and gave you His righteousness, which is the righteousness of God.
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21.
He paid your judgment by giving His sinless eternal life in the flesh for the eternal life Adam lost and satisfied your sentence by going to the dust of death and to hell in your place, satisfying all the debts you owed to Me and knocking down all barriers between us caused by sin.
And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12.
I want all to be set free by knowing the truth. What is the truth? My Word is truth. John 17:17. And who is My Word? Jesus.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. . . For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. John 1:14-18.
So how do you walk in the way of truth?
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the savior of all people.
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2.
Jesus is My gift to you by whom you are made right with Me and enter into relationship with Me forever.
Do you see that you can sum up My Will for you and every person that has ever or will ever be born into this earth in one Word? Do you know what it is?
Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know! Proverbs 30:4.
Yes, it is JESUS.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11.
Everything I desire for you. Everything I love and want for you. Everything it delights Me to do for you. Everything you need for the abundant life I sent Jesus to give you. Everything that has to do with life and godliness. Everything that has to do with authority and power, your dominion over the earth and the works of My hands. Everything that has to do with prosperity, good health, and every blessing being yours. Everything that is in the amazing plan for your life that you should walk in filled with fruitfulness and shalom peace. Everything about love and all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Everything good and perfect. All this and more, much more, forever and ever is yours in CHRIST JESUS YOUR LORD, YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD, YOUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST, GOD’S SON AND YOUR SAVIOR. He is My Will for your life.
So next time someone asks you what God’s Will is for every person, including you, you know what to say and it is simple but it has everything wonderful in it: JESUS.
He [the Father] made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him [Jesus] with a view to an administration of the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. Ephesians 1:9-10.
And if you have received Him as your Lord and Savior, He has poured the Holy Spirit into your heart and with Him My Light and love.
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12.
I love you. Have you received My gift to you so that you will NEVER perish in anything or any way and have eternal life? If you have, it has pleased Me to give you the Kingdom now and forever. When you believed in the good news of your Salvation, I raised you up with Jesus and seated you with and in Him at My right hand in your spirit and sealed you in Him by the Holy Spirit promising you the redemption of your body as well. He will raise you up glorious forever on the last day. You will be just like Him.
