THE MESSAGE

By Rick Mathes

Romans 10:13 (NASB77) ¹³  for ” WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

What is the message of salvation?

William Grede: “Freedom as we understand it in America is not an economic discovery. It is not even a political discovery. Freedom in the last analysis is a religious discovery.”

We believers are saved and free of the culpability, complicity and fault of guilt the moment we put our face in the mud, the blood and the tears at the foot of the Cross and cry out, “Lord save me!” Our fall from grace, lapse and errors rebound to the height of His Excellency instead of our level of incompetency. All adversity, woe, grief and misery vanishes as the “Son” rises over the doom and gloom of Lucifer and his moron demons.

This message of salvation is offered to every nation, country and democracy. It has no preference to sex, gender or orientation. Everyone who calls on His name and confesses Him “as” Lord will be saved! No rank, status or position is barred. Don’t’ stir the coals on cultures because the community or race soul is born in is as precious to Jesus as yours is to you. No character defect or regard to reputation for integrity is in consideration for a heart breaking over the offenses to Jesus. Sins are incorrect, illicit and bad: the killed God’s only Son. Think about your sins nailing Jesus to that death stake. He’s reaching out His bloodied arms as far as they will go and showing you that He loves you that much. How can you even dream of missing the message?

What is the message of salvation?

In begins and ultimately ends with faith in Jesus. Faith is the conduit that grace flow through: the greater the faith, the greater the flow of grace. It is immediately followed by the realization of sin’s offense to God and the confession and repentance thereof. Forsaking sin is the birth of holiness. Your relationship to sin is the window to the love of you have for your only Savior. The more you hate the sin the more you love the Lord. The supernatural response is to pass it on: discipleship. Everyone needs to hold on to a Paul to learn from and drag along a Timothy to pass it on to.

A public baptism publishes to the believer’s community the interior death to sin you have experienced and the resurrection of His Spirit within you. This naturally leads to witnessing the message where this article began.
