What Jesus says here is a warning to America in our current days.
Remember, We all fall short of the glory of God. But there is 1 king who rules all of us, and that is Jesus Christ.
He allowed them to kill him to save us all from hell, he was the perfect Lamb
He cannot be killed and will never be killed and not would we want you to because he is love and he loves us more than we can comprehend
His ememy comes to kill, steal and destroy, God is coming to kick his ass any minute
It’s the great and terrible day of the Lord
If he did not come to rescue us we would all be destroyed and most would spend eternity in hell
The Bible’s accuracy is backed by thousands of manuscripts.
We have more evidence for it than Plato or Caesar.
If “they” altered everything, why trust your sources?
Jesus said, “My words will not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
If the Bible was corrupted, Christ either lied or failed.
Every empire that tried to erase Scripture failed.
People reject the Bible, not because it’s false, but because it convicts them.
Paul said, “I die daily.” (1 Corinthians 15:31)
He understood that following Christ means putting sin to death every single day.
This is why the Christian life is a battle.
We still carry our fallen nature, even though we are redeemed.
But one day, that fallen nature will be gone forever.
When Jesus returns, our salvation will be complete.
We will receive glorified bodies, free from sin, sickness, and death.
We will be like Christ, for we will see Him as He is.
“Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.” (1 John 3:2)
This is what true salvation looks like.
It’s not just a moment in the past, it’s a promise in the future.
Most Christians think salvation is a past event.
But the Bible actually presents salvation as a process, one that unfolds over time and is only completed in the future.
Scripture speaks of salvation as past, present, and future.
We have been saved (Ephesians 2:8).
We are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18).
We will be saved (Romans 5:9-10).
Justification happens the moment we put our faith in Christ.
“Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)
It is a legal declaration where we are counted as righteous before God.
Sanctification is the ongoing process of being conformed to Christ.
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification…” (1 Thessalonians 4:3)
It involves dying to sin, resisting the flesh, and growing in holiness.
Glorification is the final stage when we receive resurrected, immortal bodies.
“We await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body.” (Philippians 3:20-21)
It’s at the completion of our salvation, when sin and death are permanently removed.
This is why Paul says, “Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” (Romans 13:11)
If salvation was only a past event, Paul wouldn’t say we are still waiting for it.
The ultimate fulfillment of salvation comes at the resurrection of the dead.
Jesus’ resurrection was a model for what will happen to us.
“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)
He is the “firstfruits” of the resurrection, meaning He was the first of many to come.
Just as He was raised in glory, so will we.
Until that day, we live in the tension of being saved yet still awaiting salvation.
This is why Paul speaks of believers groaning as we wait for the redemption of our bodies (Romans 8:23).
Right now, we still wrestle with sin.
“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)
We still experience suffering.
“Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22)
We still live in bodies that decay and die.
“Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” (2 Corinthians 4:16)
But when Jesus returns, that will all change.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
“I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.” (1 Corinthians 15:50)
That’s why we must be transformed.
At the last trumpet, the dead in Christ will rise, and those who are alive will be changed.
“Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
This is when salvation reaches its full completion.
This is what every believer should be longing for.
Yet most Christians today misunderstand this.
They think salvation is only about the past, what happened the moment they prayed a prayer.
They don’t realize that salvation is conditional upon perseverance.
Jesus said, “The one who endures to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:13)
The book of Hebrews warns that we share in Christ only if we hold firm to the end. (Hebrews 3:14)
Salvation is not about how you start, it’s about how you finish.
That’s why Paul compares it to a race.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.” (1 Corinthians 9:24)
No one wins a race by starting strong and quitting halfway through.
We are being saved right now through the process of sanctification.
Sanctification is the daily dying to self.
“If by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” (Romans 8:13)
It is the crucifixion of the flesh.
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:24)
Imagine you could see how 2nd century Christians celebrated Mass.
You can't travel in time, but one man wrote everything he saw there down for the Roman emperor.
Here's what you need to know🧵(thread)
Something happens to a lot of people when they go down the rabbit hole of investigating the global elite.
If they go deep enough, they stop.
And literally turn to Christ.
