Featured Timely Salvations

Can you give me your explination of 1 Cor 2:14?

 

When you are ill and you ask God for healing, and he does heal you, that is a timely deliverance (salvation). When you come to a knowledge of the truth, that is a timely salvation, example in Rom 10. There are many salvations (deliverances) we receive as we live here in this world. Most of the salvation scriptures are refering to timely salvations.

 

There is a salvation in coming unto a knowledge of the truth, but it is not eternal salvation, but a salvation that we receive here in this world as soon as we have been revealed that knowledge. Rom 10 is an example of such salvation that comes from giving up your dependence of your own righteous works and submiting yourselves unto the righteousness of God. The Greek meaning of salvation is "a deliverance".

 

Salvation is a deliverance and we are delivered from the illness when God heals us. If you apply all the salvation scriptures to eternal you will never get the scriptures to harmonise. Most salvtion scriptures are refering to timely deliverances, otherwise you will be having man eternally saving himself by his works and that will not harmonise.

 

I totally agree with that, there are not too many scriptures that speak of eternal salvation, because it is a one time salvation, but a lot of the other scriptures speaking of salvation is refering to timely deliverances. The gospel is written to God's elect, and not to those who are not his elect, for the purpose of instructing his elect as to how they should live their lives as they sojourn here in this world. There is not any scriptures in the gospel telling us how we can get eternally saved, but there is scriptures telling us how that we WERE saved and that is by the work of Ghrist on the cross for all of those that God gave him, John 6:37-41.

 

Thats right, no man can save himself. So the scripture that says "save yourselves from this untoward generation is talking about a timely deliverance (salvation). The Greek meaning for the word "salvation" is "a deliverance".

 

I will give you one that is most commonly missquoted; Romans 10, Before we begain we have to understand that "Israel" is a type and shadow of God's elect which are found in the leinage of Jacob. God changed Jacob's name to "Israel", Gen 32:28. So Paul is praying that the elect might be saved. Now we know that the elect are already saved eternally, so this would be a timely salvation that Paul is trying to teach them. Paul said "they have a zeal of God" which further substansuates the fact that they are already eternally saved. He says, even though they have a zeal of God, it is not according to knowledge. For they are going about to (establish their own righteousness, and have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God), this is the sin that Paul is telling them to confess and repent of and they shall be saved (delivered)(the greek meaning of salvation is "a deliverance". Verse 13, saved means delivered from believing in your own righteousness. Nothing in the whole chapter 10 is talking about eternal salvation but a timely salvaion. I know this is rather lengthy, but I didn't know how to be breif and explain it where you could understand.
