    PERSON: The Father

    SALVATION: Sovereign Election/Choice

    “But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.”

    – 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    Salvation’s essence resides in the Father’s unwavering choice and election of individuals. Long before the world’s inception, the Father, in His boundless grace, deliberately chose a people for Himself. This divine selection was not based on their merits, but solely rooted in His infinite mercy and divine decree. As the driving force behind salvation, the Father sets the stage for the magnificent unfolding of His redemptive plan.

    The Father, being the ultimate source and architect of salvation, assumes a paramount role in the Trinity of Salvation. It is He who, guided by His sovereign will and overflowing grace, elects and distinguishes individuals for redemption. The Father’s immeasurable love and grand design establish the unshakable groundwork for the majestic unveiling of salvation’s divine purpose.

    PERSON: The Son

    SALVATION: Perfect Redemption

    “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

    – Mark 10:45

    The Son, Jesus Christ, plays a crucial role in the accomplishment of salvation. He obediently fulfills the demands of the law, living a flawless life that sets the standard for humanity. Through His sacrificial death on the cross, He offers Himself as a perfect and substitutionary atonement for the sins of the chosen ones. Rising triumphantly from the grave, He conquers sin and secures eternal life for those who place their trust in Him.

    The Son, Jesus Christ, holds a central position in the Trinity of Salvation. He willingly takes on human form, becoming the perfect mediator between God and humanity. Through His incarnation, life, death, and resurrection, Jesus achieves redemption for the chosen ones. His sacrificial death on the cross serves as the ultimate atonement for sin, providing forgiveness and reconciliation with God.

    PERSON: Holy Spirit

    SALVATION: Transformation

    “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.”

    – Ezekiel 36:26-27

    Completing the Trinity of Salvation is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the one who applies the work of Christ to the hearts of individuals. Through the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit, the elect are given new life, enabling them to have faith in Jesus Christ and repent of their sins. The Spirit sanctifies believers, empowering them to grow in holiness and conform to the image of Christ.

    The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, plays a transformative role in salvation. He regenerates the hearts of the chosen ones, granting them new life and a disposition inclined towards God. Through His work, the Holy Spirit enables individuals to have unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, bestowing the remarkable gift of salvation. He continuously sanctifies believers, decisively conforming them to the image of Christ and empowering them to live a life abundantly pleasing to God.

    Together, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit work harmoniously in the Trinity of Salvation.

    “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

    – Matthew 28:19

    The Father initiates and chooses, the Son accomplishes redemption, and the Holy Spirit applies and empowers. Their unified work reveals the depth of God’s love, grace, and mercy towards humanity, showcasing the intricate and divine interplay within the Trinity itself.

  • The Manna From Heaven; Have You Tasted?

    The Manna From Heaven; Have You Tasted?

    The workings of the Divine transcend our limited understanding as we exist within the boundaries of finite perception, constrained by the illusion of time and space. However, it is crucial not to misconstrue this truth as a call to passively surrender to our material limitations and indulge in earthly desires. You may ask: How am I indulging in my earthly, fleshly desires? By merely embracing our human limitations in matters of the Spirit and coalescing with the limitations, we demonstrate our worldly, materialistic bondage, as it is rooted in the realm of the flesh and obeys the laws of materiality.

    Our true calling lies in the pursuit of the spiritual realm.

    As beings born of Spirit, it is essential for us to direct our efforts towards seeking the profound aspects of existence.

    True wisdom is comparable to precious pearls, both valuable and costly. It encapsulates the essence of the Holy Creator and should not be frivolously thrown around and laid upon those who don’t care, as they will trample this treasure with disregard, and you will share in that disregard for ignoring the discernment.

    By Wisdom I mean…

    The Secret Wisdom, Given in Secret by the Father Who is in the Secret place.

    The wisdom bestowed upon us by the Divine is indeed profound and transcendent, surpassing the limits of human imagination. It is akin to the language of angels, a divine download of profound understanding that elevates us to heights uncharted by our limited perception. In those transformative moments, we are transported beyond the boundaries of our ordinary existence, allowing us to glimpse the vast realms of divine wisdom and experience a profound shift in our consciousness.

    The acquisition of wisdom cannot be accomplished through the mere use of human intelligence, cleverness, or the performance of righteous deeds. Wisdom is a divine gift bestowed upon us by the grace of the Divine God Who sits on the throne with Dominion over all things.

    It is through our connection with the spiritual realm and our being made willing to seek truth that we are able to access the profound wisdom that surpasses the capabilities of human faculties.

    It is the Divine who bestows wisdom upon His creation, irrespective of our knowledge or self-righteousness. In fact, it is bestowed upon us in spite of such attributes.

    So, who then receives wisdom?

    It is the Holy Creator, the embodiment of Spirit, who implants His wisdom in those individuals who possess sincere hearts, driven by a genuine and uncomplicated love for truth, unadulterated.

    Christians, there is no need to remain in confusion or darkness unless one willingly embraces ignorance as a state of bliss, in which; i suppose your reward is in this Life, not ideal.

    Godly Wisdom is grown through a genuine, insatiable thirst for the living water, a hunger for the heavenly manna, and a recognition of the power of God, wating to Know Him deeper and deeper; so, we incessantly seek wisdom from the Divine Father out of Love.

It is only through this deliberate process that we can fully internalize and integrate it into our lives. Just as one would risk choking by hastily consuming food without proper chewing, rushing through the understanding and application of God’s truth can lead to spiritual indigestion. Therefore, it is vital to approach the truths of God with patience and diligence, taking the time to chew thoroughly and savor the nourishment they provide, alse you WILL CHOKE.

    The wisdom bestowed upon us by the Divine Sovereign is resilience integrated into our Soul and nourishing, sustaining us on our material journey into death, a portal into Eternal Life. Although others cant see, nor understand, we Know, intimately, this is a satisfaction that cant be manufactured and is not for show, its genuine and cant be resisted.
