Salvation through Born Again

of things I tell you through this
epistle, in the name of Christ
Jesus, who conquered the death.
II 14-18 As a disciple of Christ
Jesus, I have three important
things to tell you. It is written that
- Let everyone be subject to the
governing authorities. For there
is no authority except from God,
and the authorities that exist are
appointed by God. Therefore,
whoever resists the authority
resists the ordinance of God, and
those who resist will bring judg-
ment on themselves. For rulers
are not terrors to good works,
but to evil. Do you want to be
unafraid of the authority? Do
what is good, and you will have
praise from the same, for they
are God’s ministers to you for
good. However, if you do evil,
be afraid; for he does not bear
the sword in vain; for they are
God’s ministers, an avenger to
execute wrath on him who prac-
tices evil. Therefore you must be
subject, not only because of
wrath but also for conscience’
sake. This is the first thing.
19 So do not forget that the
authority you are executing now
is given by God as the word of
The Salvation is the Gift of God
God is clearly exhorting that all
authorities are appointed by
God.
20-22 II He is the High and
Lofty One, Only God, Holy
One, who has everlasting powe-
rful to the emperors, King of
kings, Lord of lords, President
of presidents, Prime minister of
prime ministers, Scientist of
scientists, living God to the lifel-
ess and mortal idols who are cal-
ling god’s,
23 who alone has immortality,
dwelling in unapproachable light,
but appeared to many people
after He raised from the dead,
and ascended by a cloud and
entered in the immortal and
glorious kingdom of heaven. To
Him be glory, honor and majesty
forever and ever, Amen!
24 II The almighty and the
creator who is merciful who is
willing to extend His grace and
love to men unto the end of the
earth, wanted everyone to have
freedom and live without slavery
of sin.
25-26 The Lord God formed
the man from the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became

a living being. He made a woman
(mother of humankind) from
man, gave them complete freed-
om, liberty and said to them, “Be
fruitful and multiply; fill the earth
and subdue it; have dominion
over the fish of the sea, over the
birds of the air, and over every
living thing that moves on the
earth.”
CHAPTER 2
GOD planned that man should
have dominion over the elements,
and Satan who was rejected from
the presence of God in heaven,
2 over the earth, heaven, seas,
and all the visible and invisible
things. It is also God’s will that
man should rule over the demon
who are living in the mid-air.
3-6 About this it is written that -
What is man, that You are
mindful of him, and the son of
man, that You visit him? For You
have made him a little lower than
the angels, and You have crow-
ned him with glory and honor.
You have made him to have
dominion over the works of Your
hands; You have put all things
under his feet. Now in putting
everything in subjection to him,
he left nothing outside his control.
The Salvation is the Gift of God
7 II Behold, O Prime Ministers
and Presidents, are you able to
perceive my words? I am always
interceding for you in my
prayers continuously, because -
no one can know God without
His grace and no one can know
God if He does not reveal Him-
self to him.
8 So I always beseech for you
before the feet of God that you
may get His grace abundantly.
.Without His grace we can’t br-
eath, walk and talk.
9 Through this, we can unde-
rstand that the authorities are
two types as God revealed to
man. The first one is the - incor-
ruptible heavenly authority.
10 The second one is the - I am
mentioning about these two
things only. When Adam, the
first man, sinned against God
(opposed the commandment of
God), immediately the man lost
this worldly incorruptible autho-
rity given by God.
11 Satan with his wiles captured
the God given authority from
man, became the ruler of the
world and initiated his authority
by killing Abel outside Eden.
