He planned my salvation before the world began
He sent His Son to die for me before I was born
He sent men to prepare the preaching of the gospel for me
He sent a specific man to tell me what I need to hear about Christ and His love for me
He made me alive from the deadness of my spirit
He opened my heart to receive His truth and His Son
He gave me faith to believe That Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God
He made me conscious of sin, all of which cause damnation
He changed my mind about my own righteousness which is never enough to please Him
He justified me and forgave me of all my sins
He gave me eternal life
He indwelt me thru the Spirit
He sealed me with the Holy Spirit of promise that I am an heir

TETELESTAI
PAID IN FULL
TETELESTAI was marked to a PAPER, a list of debts, once the debt is paid and should be cancelled.
TETELESTAI is also the word used by the LORD while He was on the cross.
It is usually translated in LATIN, "consummatum est" or "It is finished" in English
It means all the debts of those in Christ, whom Christ loves, whom Christ wanted to save, are now cancelled.

Abuse of success
A combination verse I got from SGBC (Northport, AL)
says a lot of things about those of us whom God allows to be prosperous.
Immediately after the success, comes the wide ear, the blown up heart, the chair which you carry up to a pedestal to lift up yourself above others. Our carnal hearts make sure that it happens. Our old man whispers louder and louder.
"Look at you now, you are different from them, they are nothing but you are something else"
God will have His glory for Himself alone, and He will not share it.
Isa_42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another,
Sometimes, the vanity of man will cause him to abuse success. He will take as much of it as he can. Like the Israelites taking the MANNA in abundance, even though they know they can't consume that much. So God made the decree of making the excess as wormy bread in the morning.
This is a picture of a CASH CASH PINOY offer. Unlimited CRISPY PATA meal for only 488 PHIL PESOS.
Watch out, if you abuse it, you will do it to your own destruction.
You might die right there in the restaurant.
2Ch 26:5 and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
2Ch 26:16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destructionsays a lot of things about those of us whom God allows to be prosperous.

Preach only love not doctrine?
1 Thessalonians 2:2 (KJV)
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
Someone told me that the law condemns but the gospel loves, saves and gives grace.
This is the twisting of some truths that we should hold on to.
First, the law takes us to Crist and it will convict the elect to believe the gospel but the depraved will be condemned. The law is not evil. It is holy and good.
Second, even the preaching of the gospel of God's grace is not just loving and condescending. It is also contending. This is the essence of I Thes 2:2
When we say contending, that can only be done thru doctrine.
So yes preach love but more than that preach doctrine with love.

Never put out the fire
Leviticus 6:13 (KJV)
The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

Christians have been brainwashed that we can "accept" the Lord and then live a carnal life for years but still remain saved and then later on pick up the spiritual life before death.
This is not Bible teaching.
A man in Christ departs from iniquity
He is a new creature
He has new garments because he puts off the old man and puts on Christ
He has the Holy Spirit, a holy person living inside of him
Therefore the fire shall ever be burning upon the altar of his life because his body is now a temple of the Holy Ghost
The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
