132 Salvation Through BORN AGAIN the peace of God and we will go to the Promised Land. 28 When the Lord forgives our sins, the peace of God comes into our heart at the moment like the dew, which rains on the gross. 29 ‘Know that it is a strong inte- rnal witness to say that sins are absolved. 30 The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteous- ness will be quietness and confi- dence forever 1 . 31 The fear of sin timid and death will fly away like the dust. The literate and the illiterate can have this experience. 32-33 You shouldn’t forget the fact that -all these works are done in Jesus name by faith through God’s word. That’s not why we understand that – nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved 2 .” Receiving all the Loss 34 II Understand a parable, wh- ich God, the consuming fire, says –“A woman left her house and country. She came back after many years to her house and received the favor and grace of 1 Isa 32:17; 2 Acts 4:12; 3 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD king. 35 She received the portion of all crops which she should re- ceive from the day her left. In the same way, we will receive all the loss by being Born Again in the kingdom of God.” CHAPTER 68 WHAT should be done after the forgiveness of sins? 2-3 We can’t end up by saying to rejoice but your joy should turn as a greater joy. It should develop as the peace of God. Then you should receive the gr- ace after grace. We rejoice in laying a strong foundation for you. 4 The Lord said about the New Birth –“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 5 The rain descended, the strea- ms rose, and the winds blew and beat on that house; yet it did not fall 3 , because it had its foun- dation on the rock.” 6 If the suffering comes on your spiritual life like rain and hail storm to devour you, if your ene- my come to strike your spiritual Mt 7:24,25. 133 Salvation Through BORN AGAIN house, you will be strong and firm and victorious like the Lord. 7 Laying up in storing up for themselves a good foundation 1 for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 8-9 ‘Let us leave the elementary preaching’s about Christ and go 2 on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of fai- th in God, preaching about bapt- isms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and ete- rnal judgment. 10 In these last days, many focus on the worldly treasures and are deceived by the physical bles- sings.’ 11 ‘Therefore, let no one among you may not put his trust in this present world after being Born Again but rather, he should focus on God with stability heart, who grant liberally. He should labor to build a strong house on the strong foundation built with costly sto- nes.’ 12 After He manifested Himself on the earth as the Son of Man, He said – “a man’s life does not Consist in the abundance of his possessions.” Do not forget the 1 1 Tim 6:19; 2 Heb 6:1,2; 3 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD word which says “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 13 II ‘The Born Again alone gets grace from God the Father and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ. 14 You should leave the aimless conduct received by tradition from your forefathers 3 by repen- ting and forsaking the dead works. You should go forward with the Lord and His word. 15 We understand that we are redeemed with the precious blo- od of Christ, a lamb without ble- mish or defect. 16 Therefore, we should throw the lifeless deeds like the torn dirty cloths. It is not possible for you at this point to explain about seven foundational stones matters.’ The Throne from Captivity 17 II Understand a parable, which God, who is the consum- ing fire, says –“A captivated girl was made ready for many days with costly all perfumes. 18 The king loved her and for- gave her and kept his crown her head.
