Hey there, fellow believers! Today, we’re diving into a topic that holds immense significance in the life of a Christian: sanctification. Now, I must warn you right off the bat that this subject is no walk in the park. It’s like an intricate tapestry woven with threads of theology, spirituality, and personal transformation. But fear not, for in this brief introduction, we’ll scratch the surface of what sanctification is all about.

The Bible repeatedly affirms that God’s love extends to the entire world. In “John 3:16” we read, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This verse exemplifies the breadth and depth of God’s love, emphasising that it encompasses the entire world, without limitations or exclusions. The love of God is seen as an expression of his divine nature, a love that desires the salvation and reconciliation of all humanity.

When sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with a Muslim who doesn’t speak much English, it is important to be patient and use simple language. Getting to know a Muslim and their religion and culture is the first step in sharing the Gospel with them. Visual aids such as photos, films, and illustrations can be used to ensure the other person fully understands the message. To effectively share the Gospel, emphasise God’s love and respond to inquiries with honesty and dignity. Jesus used parables to communicate the gospel message, such as the parable of the prodigal son. Pray for the person with whom you are sharing the Gospel, recognise the shared values of Christianity and Islam, emphasise the importance of Jesus to Islam, and remember that most Muslims reject Jesus’ divinity. Being respectful and humble in your approach to this topic and keeping your attention on the good news of salvation rather than doctrinal disputes will help to reach people with the gospel. Prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit are the most effective means of sharing the Gospel with a Muslim.

“…trabalhar sua salvação com medo e tremor…” Foi à luz de “Quão seguros estamos em nossa salvação” que este estudo surgiu.

Portanto, vamos passar algum tempo juntos, e eu rezo para que isso dissipe a noção “errada” de que um “Indivíduo nascido de Deus pode ficar por nascer” e que os “Documentos de Adoção nas cortes judiciais do Céu para sempre garantidos pela morte de Cristo e indelevelmente assinados em Seu sangue no Calvário” possam ser “negados”, “frustrando assim a soberania de Deus e a obra que Cristo realizou no Calvário para aqueles “Escolhidos antes da fundação do Mundo” e maravilhosamente escolhidos no primeiro pacto entre – Deus Pai, Deus Filho e Deus Espírito Santo, antes que o tempo e o espaço existissem.

É, portanto, para tranquilizar a todos que juntei estas poucas notas. Entristece-me muito descobrir que muitas, muitas pessoas estão presas em mentalidades errôneas e vivem toda a sua peregrinação cristã com a nuvem sobre “serei ou não salvo” – “já fiz o suficiente”, etc.

“…travaillez à votre salut avec crainte et tremblement…” C’est à la lumière de la question “Dans quelle mesure sommes-nous sûrs de notre salut” que cette étude a vu le jour.

Par conséquent, passons un peu de temps ensemble, et je prie pour que cela dissipe la notion “erronée” qu’un “individu né de Dieu peut devenir non-né” et que les “papiers d’adoption dans les cours judiciaires du Ciel garantis à jamais par la mort de Christ et signés de manière indélébile dans son sang au Calvaire” peuvent être “niés”, “contrecarrant ainsi la souveraineté de Dieu et l’œuvre que le Christ a accomplie au Calvaire pour ceux qui ont été “choisis avant la fondation du monde” et merveilleusement choisis dans la toute première alliance entre – Dieu le Père, Dieu le Fils et Dieu le Saint-Esprit, avant que le temps et l’espace n’existent.

C’est donc dans le but de rassurer tout le monde que j’ai rassemblé ces quelques notes. Cela m’attriste tellement de découvrir que beaucoup, beaucoup de gens sont piégés dans des mentalités erronées et vivent tout leur pèlerinage chrétien avec le nuage “vais-je ou ne vais-je pas être sauvé” – “en ai-je fait assez” etc.

“……你们要战战兢兢地行出你们的救恩……” 正是鉴于 “我们的救恩有多大保障”，才产生了这项研究。

因此，让我们花一些时间在一起，我祈祷这能消除 “错误 “的观念，即 “从神而生的个人可以成为未出生的人”，以及 “在天堂的司法法庭上由基督的死亡和他在髑髅地的血液中不可磨灭的签名永远保证的收养文件 “可以被 “否定。 “因此，上帝的主权和基督在髑髅地为那些 “创世前被拣选 “的人所做的工作，以及在时间和空间存在之前，在父神、子神和圣灵之间的第一个盟约中奇妙地被拣选。

因此，为了让大家放心，我把这几句话放在一起。我非常难过地发现，许多人被困在错误的心态中，在整个基督徒朝圣的过程中都被 “我是否能得救”–“我做得够不够 “等问题所笼罩。

This Scripture text is commonly misconstrued. It is also frequently not read and pondered in light of the context of the actual words under consideration. The inability to “contextually interpret Scripture with Scripture” is one of the great weaknesses of our doctrinally untaught “Universal Church” in the world today. It has ignited the “blue touch paper” as it was enabling the multitude of “Iconic False Teachers” to present erroneous doctrines in our generation and has gripped the Church of Jesus. We live in days in which there are so many folks with itching ears – This is what we find in “2 Timothy 4:3” – “You’re going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching but will fill up on spiritual junk food – catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They’ll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages.” The Message  

I wrote a blog post and a paper a while ago, and if you are a “Leader / Pastor” in any area of authority today, I strongly encourage you to read it and meditate on it. You can find it at https://worldwidechristianministries.org/are-we-preachers-leaders-fully-persuaded/. If you are not a “Leader / Pastor,” however, I urge you to read it anyway.

This particular Scripture is often utilised to invoke a sub-conscious element of fear in individuals, thereby creating a “Works Based” pilgrimage of faith. It instils into the thinking that the absence of “works” would mean that they risk – God in Heaven” tearing up their “Adoption Papers.” To be honest it would be a laughable concept if it were not so sad a case that so many are living in the midst of the “Liberty of the Children of God” with a “Ball & Chain” firmly affixed to their spiritual ankles.
