THE SALVATION OF GOD’S PEOPLE ACCOMPLISHED!



“Thou wentest forth for the salvation of Thy people, even for salvation with Thine anointed; Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.” -HABAKKUK 3:13 [KJV]
 

Christ Jesus did not leave heaven’s glory and come forth into this world to make a down payment on the salvation of spiritually bankrupt sinners. He did not come to do His part in salvation, leaving some aspect of it to be accomplished by the helpless for whom He came. He did not come to assist sinners in salvation; He did not come to instruct the lost in the art of self-salvation or to teach the spiritually diseased how to heal themselves. He did not come to put all men in a savable position. He came to save those the Father gave Him from every effect of sin by rendering to the law of God it’s just demands, a perfect life and the satisfaction of infinite justice by His death in their stead.

He was raised again because He did in fact, “save His people from their sins” [MATTHEW 1:21]. His was not an attempt to save mankind, but the accomplishment, redemption and salvation of those given to Him in the election of grace. The sins of His people were imputed to Him and His righteousness has been imputed to us. He was punished for our guilt, the demands of the law were upheld, infinite justice was satisfied and the victorious Christ came forth from the grave and was exalted to the highest heaven.

All of His elect will be brought by the irresistible grace of His Spirit to believe this glorious Savior and enjoy the reward of His obedience, even an ever-lasting salvation. It is my delight to proclaim unto you that the work of redemption, righteousness, reconciliation and salvation has been accomplished by Christ. The sinner’s faith in the Savior is not an addition to His work; it is the result of that great work.

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s

God ordained Authority: Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate

Image
The Lesser Magistrate Doctrine  teaches that when the superior or higher ranking civil authority makes unjust/immoral law, policy, or court opinion – the lower or lesser ranking civil authority has both the God-given right  and duty  to refuse obedience to that superior authority; and if necessary, actively resist the superior authority. The doctrine was first formalized by Christian men in Magdeburg, Germany in 1550.  The lesser magistrate doctrine is rooted in the historic Christian doctrine of interposition.  Interposition   is where one steps into the gap – placing themselves in between the oppressor and his intended victim. Interposition can take place verbally or physically.  The law of God is the objective standard to which all men and all governments of men are accountable. If civil authorities make law, policy, or court opinion that is contrary to His law – the lesser magistrates are to interpose and  stop the evil .  America’s founders established this nation as a true federa
