Why God initiates salvation
Why we are talking about God initiating salvation is because there is a falling away. It is only when one is down that he or she will seek for help. But things become worse when he or she cannot help oneself and does not know where the help can come from. At the point, one will completely be in a state of confusion. You see, it is never the problem people throw at us that matters, it is the problem people throw on themselves that matters.
In a working environment where things are done the way it should be and everything is moving exceptionally beautiful. If someone on the course of discharging his or her work, he or she made a mistake that would cost the company so much, the company will never take it lightly with that person. It not as if he or she was doing such to ruin the company, he or she was doing all that he or she was doing to gain much profits and revenue to the company but it did not work out as planned.
It is the problem people throw on themselves that matters
When the board seat and deliberate on the person’s matter, he or she can be pardoned first, because of his or her credibility. Second, is the person’s past record. Third, is the person’s loyalty. All these and many more will count if this person will retain his or her job or will receive immediate sack letter. The person might receive an opportunity to clear himself or herself. If the idea was highly of personal gain, I believe he or she might be likely to be relieved of his or her job. He or she can plead but that might not make an inch if the board has concluded.
But if this person has received instructions about a particular misconduct that the company cannot tolerate once one is found guilty. I believe anyone who falls in the mess of breaking such law will wish such day never existed. Especially if the company is a well paying company. Of course for being a victim, the person will be running around seeking for a way to cover up before the whole mess will explode.
If he or she has endured the shame and pains, he or she might receive pardon
Apparently when he or she finds out nothing can be done about it and before him is to face the charges at the court of law which he or she will definitely serve jail. Of course he or she will downcast at that moment. Some might endure to face the charges and go to jail. But some other might not endure the shame and the pains of going through jail. That might result to many who cannot bear and endure the trauma to commit suicide. That is a horrible one. If he or she has endured the shame and pains, he or she might receive pardon. What he or she thought would have been the end of everything later received a way out.
That is with the journey of man according to Genesis chapter 3 verses
4 – And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 – For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 – And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 – And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 – And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 – And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 – And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” (Genesis chapter 3 verses 4 to 10)
The state of complete confusion
The fact remains that no matter what man is facing on the cause of his disobedient act that brought about him loosing the throne and now be treated as slave. They knew they cannot help themselves. They were in a complete mess. They were in a state of total confusion. What a misnomer! What an agony! The king all of a sudden became a slave of disobedient.
God initiates salvation because man was never created to be a slave. Man becoming a slave was never in God’s accord, man becoming slave was in the accord of man’s disobedience. God does not want man to continue in slavery. On the account to liberate man, God initiates a substitute for mankind in the Person of Jesus Christ.
11 – “He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 – But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” (John chapter 1 verses 11 to 12)
Conclusion
The finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, His descending to the grave and His resurrection brought man back to his place of dominion and authority.
Lord Jesus come into my life, I repent of my sins
