When did God save you?
Have you believed the gospel of your salvation or some horrid lies!
Many LIARS teach that it is when you hear
their preaching and decided to heed their call to believe in Jesus, then God saves you.
That is VERY BAD NEWS - if God has to wait
for you to believe in order to save you, you will never be saved! By nature, it
is absolutely impossible!
The Scriptures say these about you plainly:
- when you WERE without strength, i.e.
IMPOTENT to believe!
- when you WERE ungodly, i.e. CONTRARY to
God's will!
- while you WERE yet sinners, i.e. in the
STATE of sin and death!
- when you WERE enemies, i.e. WARRING against
God!
- when you WERE dead in trespasses and sins,
WITHOUT spiritual life for spiritual activities like perceiving and believing
spiritual things.
It was when you were still in such pathetic
and miserable condition:
- Christ DIED for you, the ungodly! He didn't
wait till you believe!
- God COMMENDED His love towards you! He
didn't wait till you believe!
- Christ JUSTIFIED you by His blood! He
didn't wait till you believe!
- Christ SAVED you from the wrath to come! He
didn't wait till you believe!
- Christ reconciled you to God by His death
in your stead (when you have no real existence yet, except in the mind of God,
and your names were already in the Book of Life!)
- The Holy Spirit quickened you; you were
born of God by His free grace.
Romans 5:
6 ¶ For when we were yet without strength, in
due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one
die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his
blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we
shall be saved by his life.

To some, He died for them after their deaths.
Those are the saints from Adam up to John the Baptist time.

Very true indeed. Eph 1:4-6
4 just as He chose us in Him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in
love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself,
according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His
grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

O.T. & N.T. Children of God were given in
Christ BEFORE the foundation of the world... Before the world began, God saved
us...
2 Timothy 1v9 "Who hath saved us, and
called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to
his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world
began,"
Blood of the Everlasting Covenant...
Manifested at the cross of the Calvary, by and through faith of our Saviour
Jesus Christ...

A man's believing EVIDENCES that:
- Christ has DIED for him!
- God has COMMENDED His love towards him!
- Christ him JUSTIFIED him by His blood!
- Christ SAVED him from the wrath to come!
- Christ has RECONCILED him to God by His
death in his stead!
These PRIOR divine activities, wholly by grace
alone, ENABLES a man to believe WHAT IS ALREADY TRUE!

Now that's the true Gospel! Salvation is of
the Lord
Nilo del Mundo
These truths are believed at the time God
opens a man's heart
LG Rob
Amen
Joey Candelaria
Therefore conclude, faith is given to man in
order to KNOW the truth.... And the truth is, God saved His people BEFORE they
believed...

No opinionated views here, but the mind of
God!

Regenerating a dead man to bring him to
eternal life, and opening the heart of a regenerated man to understand the
truth of his salvation by God's free grace needs to be carefully distinguished!
Robert Cook Sr.
True bro Sing regeneration gives faith to be
used to believe something about God either revealed by what he has made or by
the preaching of His word by men, but he is already heaven-bound before he
hears or understands anything if chosen in Christ! Romans 10:18 - most make Romans
10 an eternal requirement but it is a temporal or for our conscience, the truth
purifies our conscience but trusting the blood shed for us, therefore having
confidence in Him for our acceptance with our Father!!!!
Sing F Lau
Regeneration gives eternal life to a DEAD
man.
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of adoption,
given to dwell in a child of God WORKS all saving graces in a child of God,
including the grace of faith... this grace of faith ENABLES a child of God to
believe.
Are we saying the same things?
Robert Cook Sr.
Yes, my brother you just are more eloquent.
Robert Cook Sr.
I speak of the personal results of our
knowing the truth and the peace we realize is ours with God by His grace, My
guilty conscience is gone the lamb took it away!!!
Sing F Lau
No more eloquent... just stating the truth a
little less loosely!
Robert Cook Sr.
I'll get my tools out a 9mm should be big
enough!
Sing F Lau
Robert, make sure it is the 6mm please!
