{"id":7,"count":41,"description":"The section, Life Before and After Salvation: The Gospel covers vital aspects of the person's life: what the person was, is saved from, what he is saved to and their implications. Life is a large<\/em> four-letter word. It carries much baggage. The Bible simplifies the term. The Triune God is life and gives it: the Father: Deuteronomy 30:20; 32:47; Psalm 36:9; John 5:21-26; Jesus: John 1;1-5, 14-18; 5:21-26; 14:6; the Holy Spirit: John 3:3-8; 6:60-64. If God is life, He gives life and He sustains it and gives direction on how people are to live. Such is our God! The discussion of life no matter how you define it is a theological discussion. Life is because God is! God has life in Himself and it is eternal because God is eternal. God and eternality are linked. If God is not eternal He is not God. If He does not have life in Himself as His very nature He is not God. If He is not God, He does not have life in Himself and He can't give life. So life, physical and spiritual begins with God. Both come by the way of the creative power of God: man as His image bearer (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7), regeneration or salvation - being saved (John 3:3-8),\u00a0 and re-creation - living as one saved but sinning (Psalm 51:10).\u00a0 The section: Life before and after Salvation: The Gospel addresses many aspects including: true nakedness before God, the validity of the concept of surrender a Biblical concept; a longer series: the true coming out\r\nof the believer; The Purpose of life; Life what is it and how shall we live; the command to be be Reconciled; and sections on he Gospel and True Christianity: Definition, Characteristics, and Significance. Life begins at salvation but that is only the beginning! This section unpacks that truth.","link":"https:\/\/jimhalla.com\/life-before-and-after-salvation-the-gospel","name":"Life Before and After Salvation: The Gospel","slug":"life-before-and-after-salvation-the-gospel","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nLife Before and After Salvation: The Gospel Archives -
