But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

*MIRACLES ARE NOT SALVATION*

*ROMANS 8:9*
*That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (KJV)*

Salvation is a miracle but miracles are not salvation. A person is not saved just because you prayed for him to receive healing or demons were cast out of him. Salvation is not when you enjoy Christian music and join a choir in a church. It is also not when you receive a prophecy from a prophet. Salvation is not also being sorry for your sins and deciding to amend your ways and start attending church.

During the time of Jesus before the cross, he healed many people, demons were cast out of people and many people received miracles from him but none of them was saved. Even the disciples who followed him were not saved. They got saved after the cross. So when is a man saved?

A man is saved when he hears the gospel of Christ preached to him and believes the gospel. The gospel is the message of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our justification. When you believe this, then you are saved. We believe the gospel to be saved.

*JUDGEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF GOD*

*1PETER 4:17*
*For it is time for judgement to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? (NIV)*

Bible interpretation is very important in the spiritual growth of every believer. Most wrong practices and doctrines are the result of poor bible interpretation. One major rule in bible interpretation is contextual bible interpretation. Our opening text has been used to scare many into thinking and believing that when it comes to the Day of Judgment, it will begin with God's people, Christians. Some also use this text when a believer is going through difficult times that they assume it is God’s punishment for a particular sin the person might have committed. Others also believe that believers who live sinful lifestyles are to be judged first before unbelievers. This is not true and cannot be the truth because there is no condemnation or judgment for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Reading the pretext and the post text, Peter's letter was to encourage his fellow Christians that they should not be discouraged or surprised at the painful trial they were going through but that they should rejoice that they were participating in the suffering on account of Christ. Peter then adds for it is time for judgment to begin in the house of God. This judgment here is not a reference to God's final judgment but the persecution they were going through at that time. Peter called the persecution they were going through judgment because they were being judged for their faith by their persecutors. Some were judged and sent to prison, others were killed and abused.

He is saying that today we are being judged and persecuted for our beliefs and if it is very hard to be saved from this persecution, what then will happen to those who refuse our gospel when they face the real judge, God? Can they be saved from God's hand? No, they cannot. According to Peter, those who reject the gospel will experience a more severe judgment than what they faced earthly. Peter was relating their judgment or persecution to their faith to the final judgement of unbelievers. If the church or the family of God is so severely judged or persecuted like this, then what will become of those who do not obey the gospel. Peter was not talking of God’s judgment of believers but the persecution they were facing.

*I will not be judged or condemned on the Day of Judgment because Jesus was judged on the cross on my behalf.*

Romans 8:1,
John 5:24

Amazing Grace

God has made the method of salvation so simple that everyone can obtain it. If you choose to believe in Jesus, God will be your Father and you will become His beloved child and be part of His heavenly and everlasting kingdom. The sacrifice of Jesus was the only way for God to bring us back to Him, because our sin separates us. But Jesus was willing to take our sin, to serve our sentence and He died for that on the cross. Everyone that chooses to believe in Him are thereby justified, saved and become true Christians. God then sees you through Jesus and you are without any sin or guilt from His point of view. It is a free gift from God to each of us. This is the amazing grace; the innocent One was sacrificed to justify the guilty ones.

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” (John 1, 12)

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
