You cut a covenant with Jesus when you became Born Again Author: Pierre Dungee www.getyouranswersonline.com
WARNING!!! We will warn you that what we are presenting is going against the doctrinal teachings of many denominations. Many are going to excoriate this site because we are not following their doctrine. Many times, the people who are going to say we are teaching ' a false gospel' would be the ones that say that they have read the bible from cover to cover multiple times and will claim to be the 'authority' on the bible because they did that. So, If you think we are full of it, that's fine. That is expected. Many will call this a 'works based salvation' doctrine, which in effect is is NOT. It is being obedient to The Lord Jesus Christ as we are showing that we love Him through our obedience to HIM, doing what He is asking US to do. Nobody is forcing you to believe anything, Christian, so settle down. It will be YOUR salvation on the line, so use this time you have to make your election SURE and work out YOUR salvation with fear and trembling by confirming it with the Lord Jesus Christ directly YOURSELF, since Jesus is going to be judging you when you die anyway. 2
Salvation comes with Terms In the last article, you have learned that you are in a covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation, l's recap and then deal with the terms of your salvation that you have agreed to in your covenant. So what is a covenant? Let's take a look at what a covenant is defined as: 1. an agreement, usually formal, between two or more persons to do or not do something specified. 2. Law. an incidental clause in such an agreement. 3. Ecclesiastical. a solemn agreement between the members of a church to act together in harmony with the precepts of the gospel. 4. the conditional promises made to humanity by God, as revealed in Scripture. 5. a formal agreement of legal validity, especially one under seal. 6. to enter into a covenant. 7. to promise by covenant; pledge. 8. to stipulate. Here is how the Lord of Hosts handles a covenant: A covenant is a solemn promise between the Lord of Hosts and/or The Lord Jesus Christ and a person, provided that a person fulfills conditions of the agreement between them and the Lord of Hosts and/or the Lord Jesus Christ 3
Didn't the person give themselves to the Lord Jesus Christ so they could be 'saved'? Don't you remember that every word uttered is being recorded and that person who uttered those words will be held accountable for those words. Check out the scripture: Matthew 12:36-37 - But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Let that sink in, Christian. Terms of your salvation Here are the terms that you have agreed to, Christian, for your salvation: You have just yoked yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ when you confessed your sins to Him. Now, here is the tricky part - there are TERMS for ACCEPTANCE that the Lord Jesus Christ will need you to agree to. Here are the terms of His acceptance in a nutshell (Jesus speaking): "If I accept your willingness for you to give your life to govern, this is what I want from you: I want you to give your life fully to me; I want you to keep my commandments and obey them; I want you to follow me; I want full governance over your life; I want you to obey what I say and do as I ask of you. In exchange for that, I will give you the FREE GIFT of eternal Life." 4
Now that you have accepted the terms of salvation, you must go through the sanctification process Many of you are ignorant of the Lord Jesus Christ's ways, so let us show you that everything that the Lord does is through a process. They are: o The process of sanctification, which is the process of cleaning you up so you are acceptable to Him. He will set you aside, and He will strip you down to get rid of all of the filth of the world. You will stop eating, drinking, acting and doing what the world does. This process of sanctification is done by the Holy Ghost, as you are driven into the wilderness just like Jesus was. If you remember, the Lord Jesus Christ spent 40 days and 40 nights fasting in the wilderness. What do you think He was doing that for? He was sanctifying Himself and preparing Himself for the temptation that was coming. You can see that when the tempter came, Jesus summarily destroyed the devil and told him to go somewhere. 5
o o o o The process of salvation, which is the process of training and preparing you so you will be ready for the Kingdom of God. In this process, you are put on a path which you will follow. You will grow in Christ as you follow this path. The Holy Ghost will help you as you progress on the path, and that path will take you higher to Jesus. You can see this illustrated in the YouTube video called 'The Path of the Holy Spirit', which you can view here. As long as you stay on the path, you are fine. You will notice that along the way on this path, many people deviate from the path and get lost. The process of salvation is growth IN Christ. If you have not noticed, that everything is organic with the Lord and His processes. You GROW in grace; you GROW to understand; you GROW to be able to fight; you are constantly growing organically. All of this takes time, Christian, and this is why it is impossible for you to be 'saved' just by a confession, as the once saved, always saved crowd proclaims. The process of salvation is being trusted by Jesus. As you grow, you are known by the Lord Jesus, as you obey His commandments. You are then given authority by Jesus personally and you learn how to wield that authority when it is necessary. You go through the process of learning what you can and cannot do in Christ; you learn about the adversary, and how to oppose him. Opposing the devil is NOT taught in churches today, and the devil is destroying many of your homes and households right now. You do NOT have to take the crap the devil is dishing out, Christian, and the Lord Jesus Christ will show that to you. The process of salvation is going higher with Jesus. As you progress on your walk to salvation, you learn more and more about Jesus. He does reveal Himself to you so you will KNOW HIM and His ways. This is what we should be striving for, Christian, as this is how we can overcome the devil and walk in the victory that Christ desires us to walk in. 6
You only get salvation when you meet the terms of your covenant We have taken the time to outline the terms of the covenant you made with the Lord Jesus Christ, and the processes that you will have to go through to be salvaged. it is a lifestyle, and a life-long commitment to stay on the path that Jesus has set for you. Unlike the once saved, always saved crowd, you only get salvation when you meet and complete the terms of your covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ. Many of you are in complete shock right now, as you thought that just a confession was enough to save you. No. You need to stay on the path to the END, and that end means the rest of your life. You have to understand that you have made a covenant with an Eternal Being, The Lord Jesus Christ. Do you really think that He can stuff all of what He knows into you in the short period of time you are alive? C'mon, Man. Be Serious. 7
Understand, Christian, that if you are in covenant with Jesus, you are going to be with Him for an eternity. He is going to always be your Lord; He is always going to know you; He is always going to teach you; and you are always going to be learning from Him - forever. You will have the Holy Ghost in you forever, and you will always be guided by Him. He also will teach you. Can you not see, Christian, that this life is a testing ground, where those who do make it and have been through the process to be those Disciples that will have significance in the life to come? Doesn't the Bible state that your life is like a wisp of smoke? This is the proving grounds, Christian, to be what Jesus wants us to be. We will be a part of Him forever IF we complete the process. He has already told you that He goes to prepare a place for you in His father's house, so what makes you think that you will NOT be with Jesus forever? When you start to see the revealed picture, you will become less and less concerned about what goes on down here on this hellhole called earth. Jesus puts all of us through these processes for a reason, Christian, and that is so we will always be with Him. This is why you have a choice to accept Jesus or walk away from Him. This is why the devil is down here making your life a living hell so you will want to be with Jesus as a part of the Body of Christ!! What we have to look forward to is much more significant that what the devil is dishing up. Once you see this, you will strive to be what Jesus wants you to be. 8
Don't you think it is time for you to get the understanding of the things to come? Take the time to reach out to the Lord Jesus Christ and sit with Him. With the information you have gotten from this article, you can sit with Him and ask Him intelligent questions on what all of this is about. You can ask about the devil and why he is necessary; you can ask about the path you are on and how you can stay on that path. Use this opportunity to talk with Lord Jesus Christ so you will be informed about what you are doing. This will also enrich your life, as you will spend hours upon hours sitting at Jesus feet learning from Him. You will want to know all you can, and Jesus will teach you and show you in ways that cannot be described. You will start wanting to pray; you will start to hunger for what Jesus has for you. You will stay for hours in your prayer closet, not wanting to come out because what has been revealed to you will be so fascinating. As you draw closer to Jesus, He will draw closer to you, Christian. He will reveal things to you about YOU that you did not know. He will also take you higher with Him as he cleans 9
you up and sanctifies you. You will start to exhibit the 9 fruit of the spirit and it will not be something you think about. The more time you spend with Him, the more you will start to become like Him. Start the conversation, Christian. Talk about the terms of your salvation, and then let the conversation go where it goes. As we always say on this site - don't take our word for anything. Get with the Lord Jesus Christ and ask Him directly if what you are seeing is true or not. Ask Him to show you this concept and more. Get used to talking with Jesus; build a relationship with Him and start to get to know Him for real. 10
