The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Judaic-Christian Salvation, #34

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)

The traditional Christian assumption that it is impossible to sin after we die and are in the spirit world is without basis in the Scriptures. Sin commenced in the world of spirits and is spiritual in nature. We do not struggle against flesh and blood but against wicked spirits.

There will be no more unwalled Edens. The guarantee that another rebellion never will take place is not that people no longer are able to disobey God. Throughout eternity people will have the capability of disobeying God or else they would not be people as we know them.

The guarantee against another rebellion is the formation of Christ in the saved people of the new world. It is the inner, Divine transformation that walls off rebellion, not a circumstance of the environment or a change of what we are such that we are capable only of certain actions.

The wall against disobedience is being created now in the firstfruits of the Church. After the firstfruits will come the remainder of the Church. Finally, every member of the nations of the saved will have a portion of Christ created in him. There are the hundredfold, the sixtyfold, and then the thirtyfold.

Obedience initially will be established with force. Everyone who is saved will be compelled to obey God. The Lord Jesus teaches His firstfruits strict obedience to Himself. When Christ's saints have learned obedience they then will govern the peoples of the nations of the saved with diligence and vigor. The saints will "take the Kingdom."

The ultimate goal is the transformation of personality that results when Christ is formed in us. Then we delight to do God's will. This is God's desire for every individual on the new earth, and it is the role of the royal priesthood to guide each person to the place where he delights to do God's will.

We must adhere to the Scriptures until the Day Star, Christ, arises in our heart. When the Day Star has been formed in us, we being now an eternal part of Christ, God can find rest in us and we in God. We, having been transformed through Christ, having learned perfect obedience to God, will then be able to bring and maintain Paradise on the earth so the members of the nations of the saved may experience love, joy, and peace for eternity.

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. (Genesis 22:18)

This is the Kingdom of God. This is eternal life. This is the nature and significance of the Judaic-Christian salvation.

"Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven." (from The Judaic-Christian Salvation)
