Organization, Combination, and Cooperation (Salvation)

Organization, Combination, and Cooperation (Salvation)

In today's world, it has become increasingly evident that the most misunderstood part about salvation, is salvation. Most of those who preach and teach about it have little to no understanding of what it really entails. This stems from the fact that over time, the true significance and meaning of salvation has been misconstrued and lost. Currently, in this age, most believe that it is brought about by a simple verbal confession. Then after this verbal confession is made, one's immaterial essence is saved from a hell which man has yet to locate. And to further insult the intelligence, this act of saving man from that hell, is accomplished after One has passed from the material universe. In this sense which it has been currently portrayed, the concept of salvation is greatly mischaracterized. So, during these times, in order for One to fully recall and comprehend their function, we must be able to recall what salvation really is; in addition, we must also remember who and what is involved in its process.

To continue on this road to remembrance, let us first return to the two fundamental Biblical facts which we had recently discussed in Alteration and Civilisation The first of these details, deals with God's unchanging nature. If One will recall, God is. And because he is, his fundamental nature does not change. Therefore, the way that he is in the past, is the way that he is today, and it will be the way that he is in the future. The second item deals with the "newness" of the world. From (Eccles.1:9 -10) we learned that there is nothing new in this world. What is is what was. And what was and is, is what will be. Therefore, those things that are considered new, are only perceived as such because they have not been seen in this life before.

With the combination of these two details, we became aware of the fact that during this time, the role of the Believer has not changed. Since God's fundamental nature is still the same, and the world has not changed; then, this should lead us to conclude that God's interaction with man has not changed. And if that has not changed; then, this also means that the function of Believers has not been altered. Therefore, in these End Times, if One really desires to rediscover their functions, they must study the examples of previous generations. And through this examination, One will see what God expects from them during this time of Judgement. Let us now continue by defining "Salvation"
Definitions (Merriam Webster)
1.Salvation: (n) 1 a : deliverance from the power and effects of sin b : the agent or means that effects salvation c Christian Science : the realization of the supremacy of infinite Mind over all bringing with it the destruction of the illusion of sin, sickness, and death 2 : liberation from ignorance or illusion 3 a : preservation from destruction or failure

Through the examination of the definition for salvation, we are led to two additional details which One must quickly recall. The first of these items deals with timing. Contrary to the current train of thought, the Salvation which the Holy Scripture alludes to does not occur after material death. That which is found in Scripture is composed and compiled for the purpose of saving and preserving those who are currently occupying a place in the physical realm. From its inception, this fact has not changed; Salvation is for the Living Man. When an individual dies, they return back to God (Isaiah 55:11); therefore, once immaterial, One no longer needs: deliverance from the power and effects of sin (Salvation 1a), the agent or means that effects salvation (Salvation 1b), the realization of the supremacy of infinite Mind over all bringing with it the destruction of the illusion of sin, sickness, and death (Salvation 1c), liberation from ignorance or illusion (Salvation 2), and preservation from destruction or failure (Salvation 3a). In addition, those who are immaterial do not have to eat, drink, work, sleep, cry, laugh, fight, lose, gain etc… In other words, those who are no longer on the physical grid, do not have to face the various cyclical obstacles which the world presents. And since they are currently not facing these obstacles, they have no need for the contents of Scripture. And if they have no need for the contents of Scripture, then they have no need for salvation. This is one of the reasons why in Matt 22: 32 it states, "God is not a God of the dead, but of the living." God is in the business of saving and preserving those who are on the earth from the entrapments of the earth.

Now, from the definition, we can see that Salvation is able to accomplish three things. First, it affords deliverance from the power and effects of sin to those who obtain it. If you will recall from Mechanics of a Delivery, deliverance from a situation first requires physical or mental occupation in or at that particular location. And after that occupation, One is moved to another position. Since this is the case, the definition tells us, that One who has obtained Salvation was first in the power and effects of sin. But after receiving Salvation, they are moved into a location where they are not affected by the power and effects of sin.

Secondly, salvation places One into a position where they are free from ignorance or illusion. From this definition, we can see that before an individual is in a sate of Salvation they are occupying a location in reality where they are in ignorance and illusion. And once they receive that Salvation, they are removed from that location. And once removed, they are placed into a situation where they become aware, informed, knowledgeable, and free from deception.

Thirdly, Salvation gives preservation from destruction or failure. This tells us, that before One is placed in a state of Salvation, they are in a state where they are susceptible to destruction and failure. But once they receive salvation, they are removed from that location and placed in state where they are prevented from existential ruin and deterioration. If One will recall from Mechanics of a Prevention, we became aware of the fact that prevention and preservation may exist during an event. But in order to accomplish this, the execution of that prevention must Start before that occurrence. Therefore, while One is in a situation, through prior readiness, they may be placed into a state of preservation or Salvation. And while in that state they may be kept from ruin and failure. An example of this is seen with Noah. During the Judgement of the earth, he is in a state of Salvation. This state of Salvation or preservation from destruction or failure which he enjoys, is a product of his preparation.

The second detail, which One must recall, is that Salvation is not an individual endeavor It is a state of being, which is brought about by mutual effort and teamwork (1Cor. 3:9 The Dead stay on a path were those who are Alive would never remain"






Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Psalms 74:12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Psalms 98:2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
