“I believe salvation isn't so much when men approach God, but occurs when God approaches men. “
“and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; ( these are things he ore determined towards man )
that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: “( that’s something we’re called to do he’s never beyond our reach but some won’t listen to what he’s saying to then calling then to do they won’t come into the light of his word
they stand back and think “ if I listen to what Gods saying I know it will cause me to feel guilty for things I enjoy “
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
John 3:19-21 KJV
Ultimately God speaks to a man and man either hears his word and believes it or waits for a better sounding philosophy and follows after that . Whether come not to or philosophy everyone has some form of faith they walk in
But “ Back in MY day we walked up hill both ways , no shoes , in a blizzard when it was ninety degrees ….now days the youngins ’ think getting baptized is a “work of the law and labor of self saving efforts without God or some man made ritual “ lol so idk I think the world and the church ideologies has changed alot from my day brother
“All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:27-30 KJV
“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”
John 6:45 KJV
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
this is Gods approach to everyone the same every creature and also his mandate to them
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
That statment really encompasses and summarizes the fate of all of creation.
“and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
….And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
Acts 17:26-27, 30-31 KJV
Everyone talks about salvation but the Bible is talking about what Jesus just said he preached eternal salvation to those who believed him. It’s his judgements we all face brother
anyways brother your always appreciated in Jesus
