This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Remember there are three things you should focus on to live a fruitful life that renews the face of the earth. And what are those three things? Focus on love, focus on praise, focus on everyone getting saved. Today we will focus on Salvation. For that is where My focus has been since Adam rejected Me and shut Me out of his life and that of his descendants.
Jesus told you that I am always working and so is He.
But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.” John 5:17
What am I working on? Your salvation. And that is what My everlasting Covenant of love is all about: Your salvation.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; and deliver us and forgive our sins for Your Name’s sake. Psalm 79:9.
And I have given you the Name by which you are saved and there is no other One in whom there is salvation.
Rulers and elders of the people, if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. 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 4:8-12.
And His Name is literally “Salvation,” for in Hebrew His Name that you render “Jesus” is “Yeshuah,” which means “salvation.”
But when he had considered this, behold, 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.
I did not send Jesus to judge you but to save you. Since Adam rejected Me and fell by sin, I have been at work for you to let Me back in to save you, recreate you, and bless you. And I did this and do it constantly for one reason: Love.
“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 3:16-17.
I made a promise to you before the foundation of the world. And that promise was eternal life.
In the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago. Titus 1:2.
This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life. 1 John 2:25.
And I did this when I conceived you in My heart by My Word which is imperishable and plants as a seed within you, for My Word is living and working and grows up to a fruitful harvest of eternal life. My Word contains My life, My power, and My faith. I planted the imperishable seed of My life in your spirit from the start. But Adam pulled out that imperishable seed, rejected it and spewed it out, leaving neither root nor branch but only a smoldering wick in your spirit of what had once been. Adam planted a lie within him, and lies are perishable and die, you cannot run your life on a lie and live the life of truth that sets you free forever.
Through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:12.
But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:15-17.
Adam lost that seed of eternal life in himself and for all of you. He murdered in his flesh the eternal life I had entrusted to him and through him to his descendants. He turned your hearts cold and stony. But I had a plan to give you a new heart and put My Spirit in you anew.
The law is a life for a life, and all mankind was judged in Adam owing Me an eternal life for the eternal life you murdered in your flesh.
No man can by any means redeem his brother or give to God a ransom for him—for the redemption of his soul is costly, and he should cease trying forever—that he should live on eternally, that he should not undergo decay. Psalm 49:7-9.
But I have found a ransom in My Son. He came down from Heaven in the imperishable seed of My Word and was born of a virgin with none of Adam’s corrupted seed of the lies of death in Him and had an eternal life in the flesh to give for the one you lost. He paid the ransom to Me.
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.
He paid the judgment due and satisfied you sentence by going to the dust of death in your place.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue cleaves to my jaws; and You lay Me in the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded Me; a band of evildoers has encompassed Me; they pierced My hands and My feet. I can count all My bones. They look, they stare at Me; they divide My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots. Psalm 22:15-18.
He redeemed the entire human race.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
I am your Savior, your Redeemer, and your righteousness and Jesus fulfills all those in Himself given for you. My eyes are upon you for good and not evil, for blessing not cursing, and for raising you up in Christ to be with Me now and forever. I will complete the good work I have begun in you, you have only to work it out in your walk with Me each day.
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6.
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13.
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.
When you believe in your heart I raised Jesus from the dead (and you with Him with all your sins gone and paid for by Him) and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, you are made righteous and saved in My sight—in Jesus, I see you holy, blameless and beyond reproach, clothed in the garments of Salvation and wrapped in the robe of righteousness.
When you believe in the finished work of My Son on your behalf, you become My child and a joint heir with Christ, which means everything in Heaven and on earth is yours. You are born again from above and a citizen of Heaven even now. You are ambassadors upon the earth and all your supply is from your home country of the Kingdom of Heaven, which never runs out.
Receiving Jesus as Lord and being born anew by My Spirit and My imperishable Word changes four things in life in a major way: you are a new creation in Christ and old things have passed away, you have a new destiny, the Kingdom and not hell, you have a new position above and not beneath (you are seated with Christ at My right hand), and you have new benefits. Psalm 103:15.
But for today that is enough.
I love you. Focus on love. Focus on praise. Focus on everyone getting saved. And that is letting Me minister through you without hindrance.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who is wise wins souls. Proverbs 11:30.
