“Saved, Sanctified, and Justified”

                                                            THIS IS IT !!!!

                                          Saved:

Matt 10: 22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matt 24: 35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 1 pet 3:18-20

We are all infected with sin (Romans 3:23). We are born with sin (Psalm 51:5), and we all have chosen at one time to sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20;1) (John 1:8). Sin is what makes us unsaved. Sin is what separates us from God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.

Because of our sin, we all deserve death (Romans 6:23). While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (Matthew 25:46;Revelation 20:15).

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TESTIMONIAL?

"Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was. ...Greet Apelles, tested and approved in Christ?" (Romans 16:7, 10 NIV).

As Paul concluded his epistle to the Christians in the imperial city of Rome, he listed, in Romans 16, a catalogue of people that had influenced his life and ministry in one way or the other. 

As he was listing them, he mentioned specifically what some of them had done for him and the Christian faith. Among them were Priscilla and Aquila who risked their lives for him (verses 3-4); Epenetus who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia (verse 5); Mary who worked very hard for other Christians (verse 6); Andronicus and Junias who have been in prison with him and were outstanding among the apostles (verse 7); Urbanus who was a fellow-worker in Christ (verse 9); Apelles who was tested and approved in Christ (verse 10); Tryphena and Tryphosa, women who work hard in the Lord (verse 12a); Persis, another woman who has worked VERY hard in the Lord (verse 12b); and Rufus' mother who had been a mother to Paul (verse 13). Paul also made mention of some other people in passing. These included Asyncritus, Ampliatus, Phlegon, Herodion, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, Philologus, Julia, Nereus and Olympas and other unnamed saints.

RAPTURE: DAMNATION TO THOSE WITHOUT CHRIST

Here,we shall outline the damnation of the saints whose names are not found in the book of life, on earth immediately after rapture. 

From the literary meaning of saints, we shall consider saint as a person to whom a church or other religious groups has officially attributed the title of a "Saint" and not one who is sanctified or made holy, separable unto God's service.

For those who do not believe in the truthfulness of God's words and as such disregarded the coming of the only begotten son shall be damned according to 2 Thess 2:12.

They will be eternally doom on the face of the earth, Rev 17:8 says "that the beast which you see shall ascend out of the bottomless pit and shall caused perdition upon the earth. The dragon (Satan) will give the beast charge over the earth to overcome the saints on the earth to worship him (Rev 13:7-8).

RAPTURE - THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING

The son of God through his word has given hints of his coming and must not be discarded but taken seriously in order for every Christians be prepared and not caught unaware when such signs shall come. 

It is revealed according to 2 Peter 3:10 that the lord will come as a thief in the night with the earth trembling,the earth will be shaken,Irons will melt and there shall be burning everywhere. 

Matthew 24:30-31 says " And then shall appear the signs of the son of man in heaven and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds,from one end of Heaven to the other".
