For it was fitting for Him for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hebrews 2: 10

The consecration of Jesus was quite painful and it narrowly happened. It was completed on The Calvary Altar where Christ paid the whole price by suffering our diseases, pains, transgressions and wrongdoing as well as the chastisement that brings us peace (Isaiah 53: 4, 5). Without the stripes the Roman whip caused on Christ’s body we would not have achieved salvation. In fact, all that was necessary for Him to become our Saviour.

God had a plan for your life and mine right from start considering that He did not want us to get lost eternally. The Lord has never given up on you and He will never do so in the future either because you are dear to Him, and He carefully looks after you all the time. Our Heavenly Father caused His Son to die on that cross for Him to be able to legally conquer other children through adoption. Therefore, you must not despise the divine love.

Some people in other countries are just like us, but instead of looking at the Eternal Light they are heading to doom. That is something really to be taken into account because we have a duty to do well for them just like others have done for us. If those preachers in the past had stayed in their homelands the Sweet Message of the cross would not have reached out to us. Now, what are we doing for those who – provided they hear The Word – will also get converted and worship The Lord just like we do?

The Most High will not take as innocent those who do nothing for the lost ones. He set the example by granting us His best. Who would give their son to die for the lost? Only God did! He did not consider our errors, but what He was most interested in was what would become of us once we heard The Word of The Truth. Precisely for that reason we have to do more for the lost ones once there will not be another Way for repentance unless we preach them The Word.

Everything belongs to The Lord. Even though, for us to be saved He did not wangle salvation for us nor did He fake what had to be done, but He did pay the right price for us to be saved. Our Father would never do anything against His will. If you have been in error you must fix it considering that when you are before The White Throne there will be no more excuses for your terribly awful behaviour. Today is the day for you to make amends with God!

God is the Maker of everything; therefore, if He was not righteous and faithful to Himself He could have worked out another way to save us without imposing on His Only Son such suffering. That is the reason why you ought to not fall into the temptation of believing that you can do something wrong now and then because, well, at the end of the day, The Most High will overlook your error and then He will let you enter His Kingdom. God will not be able to do anything for the hypocrites, even though they may be insisting on saying that they do believe in His Name.

The biblical recommendation here is for us to be holy because He is holy (I Peter 1: 16). Therefore, if you have sheltered any sin in your heart you must turn to The Lord right now and confess your error since your doom is certainly worhtless. My prayer is for the consecration of Jesus to speak out straight into your inner being!

In Christ, with love,
