A country with a so-called democracy is arresting peaceful protesters, refusing them lawyers and refusing to charge them to court.

Watch Nat-Geo and you'll see there's order in the zoo than this APC inflicted authoritarianism & dictatorship!

20 medical students from UniJos & UniMaid have been kidnapped in Nigeria.

Yet, NANs remain silent.

But when it’s time to bend the knee to the current regime, they’d be there.

A useless association of cultists, thugs & old political opportunists chasing after government favors.

[Elle🌺 @sweetsixtien]

Nabeeha, killed after N100m ransom demand.

Son of Judge killed after N300m ransom demand.

Ransom paid EVERYDAY by Nigerians totals into BILLIONS weekly.

Govt, silent.
Army, silent.
Police, silent.
& You want us to believe that APC don't have a hand?

Ransom paying continues.

I’m not a nurse.
Maybe you reading this is also not a nurse.
But let me explain to you how tyranny works:

This madness that the govt is trying to do with nigerian nurses by holding them hostage and refusing to verify their license so they can’t travel abroad;

If it succeeds, you are next.
The tyranny you ignore today because you think it’s not your business will one day come and knock on your door to also destroy your life.

Please lend your voice.
Let’s all speak up for nigerian nurses.

Unpopular but true:

- The Bible has zero contradictions
- The Christian God is the only God
- Being a “good person” won’t get you to heaven
- Jesus alone saves

Another cold night would befall my class rep Dr Louis and the other medical students who are in the hands of kidnappers. The uncertainty that awaits them ���

5 words to describe nigerian nurses:

1. Overworked.
2. Underpaid.
3. Overused.
4. Under-appreciated.
5. Under-fulfilled.

This is why we must all lend our voices to speak up for the nigerian nurse.

It is wrong, it is criminal, and it is evil to force them to stay in a system that is designed to destroy their lives.

You can read the Bible, quote the Bible, or even memorize the Bible.

But, unless the Author of the Bible lives inside of you, you'll never truly understand the Bible or live the Bible.

20 medical students are still in captivity.

Should anything happen to them, hold the following people responsible:

1. NANS
2. Tinubu
3. Shettima
4. The Nigerian Police
5. Their respective state governors

Where are all the medical students in Nigeria?

[Spiricoco Twittter @SpiricocoNg]

There are two salvations.

The first one is when you first believed and got born again.

The second one is when you take on bodily the inheritance your first salvation assured you.

The first is regeneration, the second is glorification.

See it here in Scripture:

Rom. 13:11

"And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because OUR SALVATION IS NEARER THAN WHEN WE FIRST BELIEVED."

This was Paul saying it to the Romans.

Let's get another witness.

Let's see what Peter says-

1 Pet. 1:5

"...Who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the SALVATION THAT IS READY TO BE REVEALED IN THE LAST TIME."

Again, we see the second salvation. OUR second salvation.

When you got born again, you were translated from the world of darkness into light.

You were born by the Spirit.

A heavenly body or habitation was created for you.

On the Day of the appearance of Christ, in an instant, you will be transformed!

You will be clothed with your heavenly body!

This is the final salvation. It is called glorification.

It is assured but not yet revealed. This is the hope of the believer.

See what Scripture says about the inheritance of your salvation-

1 Pet. 1:3-4

"3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you."

What is this inheritance, actually? See it here:

2 Cor. 5:1

"For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."

We have a heavenly habitation. An eternal house.

It is what we will be clothed with at the appearance of Jesus.

This is the second salvation.

This salvation, this second one, requires work.

The first salvation is not by good works.

We could not have done any good works to deserve it.

We were utterly depraved.

We were objects of wrath.

So, Jesus did everything and credited it to you.

But now that you are saved and the holy ghost is working mightily in you.

YOU CAN DO GOOD WORKS!

Therefore, to be worthy of this second salvation, you must live in the way the one who has sealed your glorification with the holy spirit of promise dictates.

How do we "work" for this second salvation?

First, we must cast off all works of the flesh or works of darkness, or dead works-

Rom. 13:12-13

"12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

13 Let us BEHAVE decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy."

Can you see that Paul asked us to behave decently?

In anticipation of our second salvation, we must live holy.

This is the good works required to qualify for this second salvation, even though it is assured for us.

It is certain, but with responsibility.

Again, look at the certainty of our second salvation:

2 Cor. 5:5

"Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."

Now, look at the responsibility:

Verses 9-10

"9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

Do you see that?

Because our salvation is guaranteed, we must now live as those who have faith that God will indeed glorify our bad.

If we indeed believe our salvation is eternal, then must show that by our good works powered by the Spirit.

This is why James said faith alone doesn't justify.

It is faith and works:

James 2:24

"You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only."

After Abraham believed God, he showed it by moving out of his father's house to an unknown place.

After Abraham believed God, he travelled three days to sacrifice his only son.

The faith that saves the believer is dead without works.

This is why Paul said:

Titus 3:8

"This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works.

These things are good and profitable to men."

So what are these works?

Cast off sins.
Walk by the Spirit.
Put on the fruits of Christ's Spirit.
Renew your mind by the word and prayer to know God's will.

These are the good works the believer was redeemed for!

This is how we remain continuously sanctified till Jesus returns and clothes us with our heavenly body.

Last example of why we must live worthy of our assured salvation:

1 Pet. 1:13-15

"13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,"

In verse 13, we are assured of our inheritance at the coming of Christ.

In verse 14, we are instructed not to conform to our former lusts.

In verse 15, we are charged to be holy.

What is the implication of not doing this?

See verse 17:

"And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear."

See that? Our Father judges impartially.

If we live in sin, we will be judged alongside the world.

Even though we were saved.

Paul said the same thing-

2 Cor. 5:9-10

"9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

This is how the Apostles taught grace and salvation in the New Testament.

Our salvation is certain, but with responsibilities.

God has prepared it. But we must act as people who believe in it.

This is where hypergrace fails.

They say your salvation is eternal.

Question is which one?

The first? Surely. We can't be unborn again.

The second? Surely, too. But that comes with responsibilities.

If you fail to live worthy of it and live in the former sins God saved you from, He will judge you and you will not inherit the second salvation.

May God sanctify your spirit, soul, and body till He comes back in Jesus name.

Certainty but with Responsibility: How the Apostles Taught Grace and Salvation in the New Testament.
