Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah Psalm 3.8

No saved person, even a dedicated one, can bring salvation and the blessings included in it – healing, deliverance, and eternal life – to everyone. But if he applies himself to the reading of the Bible, meditating on it, he will achieve a greater, firmer and more powerful faith, which will lead him to take productive attitudes, which will result in success in the mission he received from the Father: [...] for without Me you can do nothing. (John 15.5).

Dedicate yourself to knowing your calling, for it is like the talents that the Master gives to the saved. Now, let’s take as an example the cells of our body, estimated in 100 trillion units. Are there any that are there by chance, or do they all have well-defined functions? Certainly, every saved person is a member of the Body of Christ and has been placed in Him to bear fruit. The Lord has chosen us to bear permanent fruit (John 15.16).

It is no use praying to be saved. If you don’t take a stand in Christ Jesus, you will never be born again. I think that most of the beloved people who go to church have not yet been born again and therefore are in eternal danger. Look at what Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (John 3.5).

No sacrifice, no matter how difficult, will improve the work of the Son of God on the cross of Calvary for the sake of mankind. In fact, to flog oneself to please the Most High offends the blessed Savior, for it is like declaring that His suffering was in vain. Now, what Jesus accomplished must be understood in its entirety. In this way, you will participate in His triumph, as you overcome Satan, stripping him of his ability to mistreat us (Colossians 2.15).

God gets involved in a person’s salvation by preparing them to hear His revelation during the preaching of the Word. It is good to teach everyone what the Bible declares about everything. Christ said that he who seeks finds (Matthew 7.8), so look for what to tell your family and friends, as well as people you have yet to meet, about eternal life. There is no greater love than to give the lost a chance to be saved.

Pray on behalf of the person who says they don’t care if they go to Hell. Such an individual acts like the child who believes he can jump off a building and survive. Everywhere we will find people without eternal judgment formed in them, even though some have studied and are a blessing to others. In time and out of time, we must minister what God says. Fighting to snatch someone from eternal fire is a divine command for all (Jude 22,23). Persevere and you will see the reward!

Any blessing you need can be manifested in your life because of Christ’s work on the Cross. Furthermore, the devil is the one behind the bad things that arise. The Savior declared: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10.19). So get up and take possession of your blessing. You have come out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light!

In Christ, with love,
