Salvation Through BORN AGAIN the Lord) will overcome the world. Therefore, he will not care about this. He will not fear for anything. Bec- ause he is the victorious who over- came the world by Jesus, in Jesus and through Jesus. Satan deceives the believer with his voice. The author says that voi- ce, which stirred up unbelief and dis- couragement in young’s man heart, was the voice of devil. Satan will te- mpt the believers even by the God’s word. Nowadays, fully there are the- se deceptions. The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD 128 CHAPTER 33 THE young man meditated forty three chapter of Isaiah and ninth chapter of Matthew gos- pel many times. He compared these two chapters. 2-3 Understood the word of God, the consuming fire says- “but you have not called upon Me, and you have been wea- ry of Me. You have not brou- ght Me the sheep for your burnt offerings; nor have you honored Me with your sacri- fices. 4 I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, nor wearied you with incense. You have bought Me no swe- et cane with money, nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities. “I, even, I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; 5 And I will not remember your sins. “Put Me in remem- brance; let us contend toge- ther, state your case, that you may be acquitted. 6 “Your first father sinned 1 , and your mediators have tra- nsgressed against Me. These words proved him as a terrible guilt and God hath a controversy with the young man. 7 He could not know the Crea- tor in his childhood. How to pray sincerely? He doesn’t know it. No one learnt him 2 ? 8 He fasted for forty days with pride that Christian religion is great. But he doesn’t’ know that fasting is like a dirty cloth and dry leaf for salvation? 9 He sought the Creator in his own way in his childhood but he was tired greatly. He thought that God may be far away in sky? 10 The worship, which comes from the broken heart 3 , is a plea- 1 3 Isa 43:22-27; 2 Rom 10:14; Ps 51:17; Salvation Through BORN AGAIN 129 sant sacrifice to God. 11 This young man doesn’t know how to worship God in spirit and truth. He doesn’t know how to live a life pleasing and satisfying God? 12 He thought for many times, ‘is there God 1 ?’‘Where is he?’ ‘If He is alive, then why there is so much of injustice and iniquity in the society?’ He irritated God many times by arguing with these foolish words. 13 His every evil thought is sinful. And his iniquities tired God. He doesn’t know about it. 14 He committed sins against the word of God. He became a guilt 2 . Yet he doesn’t know since his childhood that God will for- give and cleanse all his sins by His blood if he confesses to God? 15 If he would have known the fact that the savior of the sinners, Jesus Christ, won’t remember 3 sins, he would have rejoiced gre- atly? 16 If God controversy 4 with a man, can he stand before God? 17 My life is wasted through the first forefathers 5 . But the son of God, Jesus Christ, forgave my sins and saved me through new 1 Ps 14:1; Isa 8:20; 6 2 Jh 8:44; 2 Cor 9:15; 7 The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD birth. He revealed to me that He is the Almighty. But the young man used to express his sadness that his preachers 6 did not help him. 18 The preachers’ doctrines become my bondage. The Chri- stian religion fully blinded me and murdered me brutally. But God, who formed me in my mother’s womb, 19-21 had showed the grace of my savior to me, who was use- less, foolish, disobedient, blind, naked and poor. He gave me Born Again experience through bathing of the Holy Spirit. He granted me a new nature. He counted me as a blameless and gave me unspeakable and full of grace of gift of salvation 7 . He gave testimony that God of gods granted the glorious joy 8 . He worshipped Him in Spirit and Truth. 22 II The fact that the Lord alone has right to forgive 9 was revealed to me. And He forgave me and counted me as blam- eless. 23 No one has whispered in his ears to forgive his sins nor did he whisper in anyone’s ear. 3 Ps 103:12; 1 Pet 1:9; 8 4 Job 38:4; 9 Mt 9:6. 5 Rom 5:12;
