| The Church today has become a salvation-celebrating Church and a Church filled with traditions of men, religious hypocrisy and a committment to living upto the standards of the world and hence incapable of producing the end goal of salvation, the manifestation of the sons of God! A Church that has refused to align herself with the realities of the present times and therefore seem completely oblivious of the utmost agenda on the almighty God's heart and mind; what He is saying and doing at this present time rather than dwelling on what He had said or done in the past. This is the goal of salvation; the end goal. Salvation is ONLY a means to this end even as Peter has said, "For you are recieving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls" 1 Peter 1:9. This verse does not say 'recieved' as in past tense and as is true of the initial salvation 2 Corinthians 5:17, rather it says 'recieving', as in present continous. This salvation is the next stage after believeing in Christ; after one has been saved from the Adam-sin. The initial salvation in Christ (from the Adam-sin), which the Church has become preoccupied with, is the salvation of the spirit (of man), while the salvation talked about by peter is of the soul. This is the process where the 'new creation', that is the spirit-man, out of the great resource now recievable through fellowship with the Spirit of God, affects and gradually produces a transformed soul 2 Corinthians 3:18, consequently resulting in a consistent and effortless (that is, devoid of flesh-motivated struggles) display of positive character by a believer in Christ. This is an extremely possible life, but only so in Christ and is through learning to increasingly live by the Holy Spirit Galatians 5:16. It is moving from living under the 'natural' but spiritual law of sin and death, to living the also 'natural' but spiritual law of the Spirit of LIFE in Christ Jesus Romans 8:1-2. We therefore have a vision from God of a people - believers in Christ, who will consistently lead holy and God centred lives without any trace of self-righteousness or any effort in the strenght of the Adam-sin-nature - a thing that ALONE can stand believers in Christ out from any other people on the face of the earth. This is why creation does not awiat a tongue-speaking people, a demon binding people, a dead-men raising people or sickness healing people, but rather, "creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the SONS (a mature people) of God" Romans 8:19. Remember, even though "to all who recieved Him, to those who believe in His name, He gave the right to become children of God" John 1:12, yet it is only "as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the SONS of God Romans 8:14.
In continually moving every believer in Christ forward in Him from one level of glory to increasing levels of glory, to present the people of God with accurate teachings from the SPIRIT WORD of GOD until we all reach the place of His absolute will for our lives as individuals and for His Church as a force to impact the world.
