SALVATION NOW AND IN THE FUTURE

By: Bishop Albert Gran

Romans 5:9-10

King James Version (KJV)

⁹ Much more then, being NOW justified by his blood, we SHALL BE SAVED from WRATH through him.
¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

I keep on assessing how truthful and true Preterism is as a branch of eschatological view and validating whether or not it commenced God's plan concerning our future salvation after believing their so-called "fulfilled eschatology". Later, I found it as a twist in the ordained purpose in accordance to the mystery for this Age of grace.   

In light of Pauline perspective, these verses made us think about the two-fold processes Christ made for our completion (the justification process) and the about to complete our salvation (shall be saved from wrath). Therefore, it sums up an idea that we're already saved from sins and yet to be saved from the wrath to come (eschatological fulfillment of things especially those that accord in the prophecy truth) Rom. 4:5, 5: 8-10; 1 Thes: 1:10)

In acknowledgement of God's plan I found PAST COMPLETION AND FUTURE COMPLETION in regard to the doctrine of eschatology as also pertinent to the hope of saints in the Body of Christ which is an independent hope in view of God's earthly prophetic plan for the nation Israel (Rom. 5:9-10).  

NOW JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD (past accomplishment)

How many of us certify the sole truth, a passport to lead us into the best anticipated life with glorious mandates? How many claimed they're justified on the basis of his faith in the blood of Christ?( Read Romans 3:25) Surveys were made and that only few claimed they were washed by the blood of Christ. Even in the circle of Christianity itself who knew God and Christ had less percentage claimed to have faith in His blood alone as means for their justification and grandeur. 

Scripture plainly proved that fact that Christ  completed our spiritual salvation through the  demonstration of His wondrous grace and love on the cross so that you can obtain perfect righteousness and justification making yourself as an ever blessed person in our planet (Col 4:12, Col 2:10, Eph. 1:3) .

This is the sole proclaimation how we preach people under heaven using the "My gospel" preached by Paul to us all Gentiles ( Rom. 2:16; 16:25). Indeed, we're living in the flesh, suffer diverse infirmities in the flesh, laden with the natural tendencies in and of the flesh, influenced by temptations, touched by our feelings and emotions and yet all these realities cannot change what was accomplished by God through the image of Christ in light with the gospel for us all Gentiles in this dispensation of grace (2 Cor. 4:4).

If there would be preachers proclaiming gospels pertinent to His earthly kingdom plan then that reminds us they need to think what gospel proclaimed for us Gentiles through which we could find completion, hope, glory, and joy.  

Justice acquits repentant sinner when only he/she acknowledges the veracity and truthfulness of God's plan for justification in this age of grace in the merit of His perfect blood, a sinless atonement element able to wash your sins proving how you could be justified and made righteous before our Almighty God, and something which you can cry "Abba father" after you receive the truth of the gospel for your freedom and security.    
   

MUCH MORE THEN

• This reality of possession (sins salvation) which we own right now, which is also sealed by the Spirit, contains more emphatic declaration about the things GOD HAS  ABOUT TO ACCOMPLISH in the future. Thus, made myself as a futuristic person who anticipated the much more event God will show to me in the future, through which also, according to Paul, not passing the WRATH TO COME  when this dispensation of grace ends.  

As a pure grace believer, preacher, and teacher I have to expose this eschatologial study that God's blessings to us, although declared complete, have a coined completion of purpose relative to the promise of glorification which he promised to all His saints pertinent to the years to come especially on the judgement seat of Christ wherein every saint shall receive the things done in his body whether it be good or bad (2 Cor. 5:10). That's  a sacrificial service to fulfill the afflictions of Christ, similar with Paul's testimony which we likewise have to accomplish in this a life of flesh.

SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH

Eschatologists should believe without supposition, that the phrase "shall be saved from wrath" was expressed in the past future perfect tense denoting a future accomplishment, "much more",  the Lord shall reveal to us HOPERS, AND PATIENT WAITERS for the glory to come.

Many times, our apostle Paul is stressing about the change of our vile body (fleshly body), waiting for redemption, the adoption (again pertains for fleshly deliverance), and similar hope on the things we didn't see yet as we're saved by hope.

But, what scary eschatological event Paul would want us to know dear saints in Christ is salvation from God's wrath of which many "fulfilled eschatology theologians", (they called themselves preterists) taught it was already accomplished last AD 70. It made me thought about how ridiculous this doctrines laden only with presumptive views quoting historical facts not supported with divine insights. Then we can exclaim.... How come? Who knew it was  the historical AD 70 fulfillment except those who presupposed those were really the happenings? But, that's all according to them which only occured in their own  perspectives with twist what was promised by God to us. They were those modern preachers nowadays who preached that "resurrection is past already" (2 Timothy 2:18).

Friends, if many teach you about prophetic eschatological warnings then have peace within because if you are washed by the blood of Christ through the message of Paul, these prophetic eschatological events not named in the history ( especially whn you read the accounts of the book of Revelation) are events NOT FOR YOU. These were prophecies for the overcomers addressed to the Jewish churches under the prophetic kingdom commission and not for the saints who were membersof the Body of Christ. 

Think a lot, and study a lot the mystery of Christ's blessedness for you in this dispensation of grace. GOD IS ABLE TO SAVE YOU FROM HIS WRATH which in truth NOT FULFILLED YET.

Grace and peace!




     

THE DISPENSATION OF GOD THROUGH PAUL

By: Bishop Albert Gran
Colossians 1:23-29

King James Version (KJV)

²³ IF YE CONTINUE IN THE FAITH grounded and settled, and be NOT MOVE AWAY FROM  THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL, which ye have heard, and which was PREACHED TO EVERY CREATURE which is under heaven; whereof I PAUL AM MADE A MINISTER;

²⁴ Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his BODY'S SAKE, which is the CHURCH:

²⁵ Whereof I AM MADE AMINISTER, according to the DISPENSATION OF GOD which is GIVEN TO ME for YOU, to FULFILL THE WORD OF GOD;

²⁶ Even THE MYSTERY which hath been HID from AGES and FROM GENERATIONS, but NOW IS MADE MANIFEST TO HIS SAINTS:

²⁷ To whom God would make known what is the RICHES OF THE GLORY OF THIS MYSTERY AMONG THE GENTILES; which is CHRIST IN YOU, the HOPE OF GLORY:

²⁸ Whom we PREACH, WARNING EVERY MAN, and TEACHING EVERY MAN IN ALL WISDOM; that we may present every man PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS:

²⁹ Whereunto I also LABOUR, striving according to HIS WORKING, which WORKETH IN ME MIGHTILY.

This is a new episode to refresh my memory in view of the Gentiles' glory in this recent dispensation of God which He committed to Paul. In this study presentation, let me emphasized to you several points what mystery I saw, and which you probably have seen too, when you read these precious truths.

Since God revealed these things to us through His Spirit - (from the pen of Paul and upon his handwritings ) there's no reason why we can't gloriously see the light of these precious truths with the GOSPEL exclusively preached by Paul to us in this present Gentile grace. Inclusive in this gospel is the relative hope of Gentiles in this mystery, as hid from generations in the ages past, most especially, it's not known by the prophets who were recipients of God's prophecies concerning His earthly plan made them preach Jesus as an heir of David's throne inheriting Abrahamic land and kingdom (Matthew 1:1).  

PAUL AND THE GOSPEL   

Paul's afflictions and sufferings were in consonance to the recent dealing of God for you my brothers and sisters after God provoked the nation Israel to jealousy because of her hard headedness and penitent heart which treasured up His anger in the day of wrath. During prophetic times, they were those called covenanted ones all the way from Abraham's promise to make him a great nation above all other nations, then to the sending forth of the promised seed ( to be Israel's redeemer) until their rejection in the cutting off of the Messiah account.

God's forbearance and longsuffering which He extended to those not under the law (you and my emphasis as born in the Gentile race) has the set purpose to put Jews and Gentiles without distinction, as both sinners who really need perfect sacrifice for righteousness apart from the righteousness which is of the law. Thus, God concluded all in unbelief and both needs to be justified based on what God propitiates to appease His own righteous standard, which made it reasonable to raise up Paul under heaven and preach a rare and unique message for all sinners around the world or to all seeds of humanity without distinction.

The truth-bearer after the setting aside of the nation Israel falls from the time God called Paul in the road of Damascus where progressive revelation from childhood to perfection (maturity as set forth in the Mid of Acts of Paul's missionary journey) wherein there it indicates threefold pronouncements of Paul to exclaim that "salvation is therefore sent to the Gentiles".

It's crystal clear that his apostleship, as mentioned by Christ to Ananias through the pen of Dr. Luke,  has viewed two groups of people (Jews and Gentiles) to be placed in Christ, in one living body called THE BODY OF CHRIST so they could put on Christ. To be in the body of Christ is significant as compared to the prophetic establishment of obtaining righteousness, with OWN WORKS, as the sole basis and foundation indicating your blessedness but not by faith to the REDEMPTIVE WORK of Christ for completion and glorification. This explanation is an emphasis in regard to God's two-fold blueprint which is between LAW and GRACE.  

HOPE OF THE GOSPEL UNDER HEAVEN: WHO PREACHED ?

 

No wonder through understanding rightly dividing principle, we knew for a fact that "TIMES PAST" ( in view of Israel's rise) was done and we're living in this set of new era called "BUT NOW" wherein the Dispensation of God, called the Dispensation of Grace was committed to an apostle preaching the "gospel" to all creatures around the world.

Logic and sensible truth to adhere the gospel preached by the recent appointee and minister to the Gentiles in order to preach a distinct and more significant gospel not once preached under the times of the prophets and times of the 12 apostles except when it was revealed to the other  kingdom apostles looking forward to the restitution of all things in view of the establishment of the earthly kingdom which the Blood of the New covenant will be declared as a perfect sin-offering instead of the animal sacrifices typified during the Old Covenant.  

THE FAITH

The sure basis of faith which I believed God wanted you to adhere today was found in the gospel preached by Paul, not with ANOTHER GOSPEL which was declared by the apostles before Paul neither by the prophets in the Old prophetic times. Neither the gospel preached by Christ when he was a minister to the circumcision nor what was declared by the 12 disciples where you can achieve the true message for your hope and salvation today.  

"The faith" in my understanding had shown a unique identity of truth only available to the time when God set a new minister and gave a RECENT GOSPEL called the gospel of the Grace of God in view and emphasis of His redemptive work. Kingdom gospel in view of wet cleaning (water baptism by John the Baptist) , Mosaic Law, etc. were not at all our gospel in this recent period of grace. Once a believer will establish and would want to be settled and grounded in the truth, he or she has to adhere to the true and pure message delivered by the minister to the Gentiles as he was our sole apostle, the bearer of truth for your blissful fate and destiny.  

With firm conviction, I do believed there's a hidden truth not declared from the history's past which are available in THE FAITH (the body of truth in the gospel) which Paul from the Lord Jesus Christ revealed to us Gentiles. Therefore, it pays to study the word of God rightly dividing so you would see what GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES you are treasuring up in the recent service you've rendered to the Lord.

Yes, we are held accountable in the judgment seat of Christ but one thing made me sure about that when it happens, that in that day the secrets of men shall be judged ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL. There was a reasonable implication to be objective in the principle of preaching the purity of Christ's gospel which is available with Paul.

Everybody has the right to stress out preaching mixed gospels, and combined them together to at least preach Christ. But with rightly dividing principle the Lord would want you not to move away with the hope of the gospel which was preached to every creature through GOD'S MINISTER PAUL.

Did you follow Paul as he followed the Lord Jesus Christ?

Grace and peace!

                          

 

MIRACLE OF FAITH: A DIFFERENT MIRACLE LEADING YOU FROM TRADITIONAL THOUGHT

By: Bishop Albert Gran

1 Thessalonians 2:12-14

King James Version (KJV)

¹² That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
¹³ For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the WORD OF GOD, which EFFECTUALLY WORKETH ALSO IN YOU THAT BELIEVE.
¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

Often,  majority thought that the “miracle” which is happening nowadays similar as they claimed a never changing principle, can be understood to mean the thought we ever learned from the tradition and or from the tales our forefathers which God had made to the people of Israel and the kingdom saints wherein they were ruled by “SIGNS” accompanied by “DIRECT PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION” in view of the ”if -then” principle and “physical blessings and cursing” the Lord Himself used to show the conditions of His dealings. Now, luckily we had received a uniqueness of a mystical presentation how God truly acted upon a unique dealing in view of the mystery truth not made known by the sons of men in time past.

 

From traditional-theological standpoint to the pureness demonstration akin to the unique message of Paul, I found it more delightful seeing what come the essence of sole demonstration of “FAITH’ principle brought by the trust of the “MY GOSPEL” from sign to pure faith, from physical concept of the demonstration of miracle to a UNIQUE MIRACLE OF FAITH BY THE GOSPEL (the gospel of he grace of God).

God’s delightful plan where we could identify how He truly worked within us was clearly identified based on the information available in our hands. Only, we have to prove its essence what this “FAITH” provides wholesome and amazing results in our lives today being His workmen or new creatures. We could get rid of those religious speculations or mere guesses not knowing how certain we are of His answers based on our different petitions which we traditionally believe as YES, NO, AND WAIT using physical signs to motivate the condition of His responses through which majorities’ petition was purely categorized as all for the believers’ PHYSICAL WELFARE (it’s noticeable in all religious prayer meetings). Was it due to man’s negligence to obey God’s word why a disbeliever just solely rely to his own ignorance with his life COLORED WITH PHYSICAL MOTIVATION to selfishly direct his all wanting physical desires? That's what I believed so. And therefore, we should be wise to be keen in understanding the soundness of our belief.

While every believer had the privilege to extend their gracious act to SUPPORT THE WEAK but let not a man of God uphold this idea to act as WEAK in order to receive a compulsory support and be supported as a custom believing God physically repay what good things you did when you support the weak. You can be physically victorious as God acted upon you in effect to your obedience to the instruction how you could be responsible to attain your needs at your expense as GOD COMMANDED so that you yourselves can SUPPORT THE WEAK (Acts 20:35, 1 Thes. 5:14). 

Because of failure in responding to the light of God’s image through the gospel specifically Pauline gospel, many people especially unbelievers abased God’s workmen as though there’s no more respect left for him and to our God. Coined to the result is the “belittling of the gospel” which other skeptic was believed a capital for surety and gain instead of grandeur, security, and hope. These things were results of IGNORING God’s grace instructions indispensable for our present living in this present dispensation of grace. 

    

How many workmen of God today who believed DIRECT PHYSICAL INTERVENTION and yet indirectly USED MEMBERS to aid for their support acclaiming it’s not an act of faith for workers and ministers to labor for his bread even the scripture was plain it’s the duty of EVERY MAN TO PROVIDE HIS OWN NEEDS? (1 Tim. 5:8)    

 “A MIRACLE OF FAITH” upholds the view on the effectiveness of GOD’S WORDS  and HIS INSTRUCTIONS (the instructions of grace) specifically those which have had delivered FOR US GENTILES through Paul and which also are working in the lives of every believer after it was believed (1 Thes.2:13). The trust of God’s word, as it says he does, corresponds to the knowledge how God do things today within our INNER MAN (Eph. 3:16) and that’s A DIRECT FORM OF GOD’S INTERVENTION, a living word working IN YOU that believed, worked out by and through Him, and even knowing what else God revealed in relation or connection to require our EYES OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING but not through the hindsight of PHYSICAL UNDERSTANDING (2 Cor. 10:3, 2 Cor.5:7). The mystery’s fellowship if you’re on it, establish an understanding void of men’s philosophy, the science falsely so-called, and or vain fables from men’s tradition (Eph. 3:9, Col. 2:8, I Tim. 6:20).  

                                                                                

“SPIRITUAL EYES OF UNDERSTANDING” implore the soundness of ‘GOD’S WORD’ to effectually work in the lives of believers and directly intervening them resulting ‘WORKS OF HOLINESS’ and ‘GODLY LIFE’ as the faith transforming worthy life’s changes affecting every saint of God doing and rendering service to the Lord for free and NOT CHARGING THE GOSPEL as HE COMMANDED (Col. 1:8-10, Eph. 6:6-18, 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 9:18, 1 Thes.2:9).
 

The issue of Levithical tithing, man-made religious giving in mixture of biblical and secular or worldly doctrines were baseless and insufficient thoughts for it’s not ordained by God after the grace-giving principle was taught opposite to what was ordained under the law which is the law of tithes, henceforth, not in accord to the mystery truth directing our sublime faith and trust as though the REAL WORD OF GOD AND INSTRUCTION PERTINENT FOR OUR PRESENT TIME.

SUPPORT THE WEAK

Acts 20:34-36

King James Version (KJV)

³⁴ Yea, ye yourselves know, THAT THESE HANDS HAVE MINISTERED UNTO MY NECESSITIES, AND TO THEM THAT WERE WITH ME.

³⁵ I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring YE OUGHT TO SUPPORT THE WEAK, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

³⁶ And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

(Note: Paul didn’t pray and kneel down asking GOD TO SUPPORT THE WEAK. He prayed and kneel down so that believers will understand GOD COMMANDED THE SAINTS TO SUPPORT THE WEAK. While Paul use his hands to minister his own necessities together with his co-laborers, it’s his principle to NOT CHARGE THE GOSPEL by using ministry AND ESCAPE FINDING PROVISION FOR HIS OWN NECESSITIES due to the reason that GOD TOLD EVERY BELIEVER TO SUPPORT THE WEAK which I believed the common licentiousness causing to disgrace the image of God and His gospel) 

  

1 Thessalonians 5:13-15

King James Version (KJV)

¹³ And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
¹⁴ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, SUPPORT THE WEAK, be patient toward all men.
¹⁵ See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Romans 12:12-14

King James Version (KJV)

¹² Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
¹³ DISTRIBUTING TO THE NECESSITY OF SAINTS; given to hospitality.
¹⁴ Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Believers thought IT’S GOD’S DUTY TO SUPPORT THE WEAK. While it’s true that God comforted us with his comfort (from the comfort through His word) BUT IT’S HIS COMMAND FOR ALL THE SAINTS TO COMFORT THE WEAK. In other words, while man petition to the Lord and ASK HIM to respond for His physical immediate needs Paul contrarily, through inspiration of God COMMANDED EVERY BELIEVER TO SUPPORT THE WEAK. Not only that, through inspiration and direct revelation GOD ORDAINED EVERY MAN TO WORK WITH HIS OWN HANDS. However, sad that many preacher’s made the contrast and disprove God’s intruction. The GOD IN HEAVEN through revelation told Paul directing every saint TO SUPPORT THE WEAK but they preach anyone COMMANDING GOD TO SUPPORT the weak.

So, who are we to disobey the word of God and reverse what he said? Would you listen to Him who did the command or tell Him to do what he tells you to do?  
 

The miracle of faith is simply living your life in harmony of what God has caused HIS WORD TO WORK AND LIVE FREELY IN YOUR LIFE TODAY  and not based on the old notion of God’s miracle based on FABLES.

HOW TO MEASURE EQUALITY IN THE CHURCH CONSIDERING THOSE RICH PEOPLE?

 1 Timothy 6:16-18

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
¹⁷ Charge them that are RICH IN THIS WORLD, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, WHO GIVETH US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY;
¹⁸ That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.

Oooopps! Many skeptics finds hole with the statement ‘BUT IN THE LIVING GOD, WHO GIVETH US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY”. They include all things here to MEAN UNCERTAIN RICHES (Physical riches, and abundance of money).

Folks, the premise as Paul charge was very clear to DIFFERENCIATE what is UNCERTAIN RICHESS (Physical or material things) and GOD’S GIVEN RICHES FOR US TO ENJOY (immaterial aspects through the abundance of God’s grace resulting fruits or righteousness). Now, what is this RICHES HE GAVE US TO ENJOY? Look at the following verses, it refers to the RICHES OF GOOD WORKS.

    1. RICH IN GOOD WORKS

 2. READY TO DISTRIBUTE (Support the weak)

  3. WILLING TO COMMUNICATE

These are the immaterial aspect of MAN WHICH GOD PROVIDED FOR US TO ENJOY IN THIS LIFE IN CONTRAST TO TRUST THE UNCERTAIN RICHES (which many preachers falsely unaware of). 

GRACE AND PEACE!

   

DO YOU BELIEVE HEAVEN AND HELL AS REAL LITERAL PLACES?

By: Bishop Albert B. Gran

Job 11:8
It is as high as HEAVEN; what canst thou do? deeper than HELL; what canst thou know?

 DESTINIES WHERE YOU CAN SPEND FOR ETERNITY:  THE HOPEFUL AND THE HOPELESS

1 Corinthians 15:18-20

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁸ Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

¹⁹ IF IN THIS LIFE ONLY WE HAVE HOPE IN CHRIST, WE ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE.
²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Bear with me to contemplate the bold statement of our Apostle Paul in recognition to the HOPE we had in Christ. The more sure foundation by continuously believing the perfect demonstration of a spirit-soul eternal conscious existence was proven by Paul in connection to the HOPE issue and in consonance to the power of His resurrection after overcoming death from the cross of Calvary in that land of Golgotha.

It was very plain as stated that ‘IF’ IN THIS LIFE WE HAVE HOPE IN CHRIST, WE ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE. Ask yourself where your life today spends for existence, interaction, or being interrelated unto for exposition, disposition, and undertakings?   Paul made this remark to show to all human kind that there’s more important life distinct from the life we have at present through which this life was renewed by and through the resurrection power of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, why “if”? Logically, it was stated to show you readers a condition that believers in Christ had different position to those who didn’t believe spiritual matter or hope issue such as this hope of God’s resurrection plan, enabling us members of the Body of Christ to have sure HOPE, security, and destiny, and making us special among majority of masses. Suffice to prove based on this verse itself that those unbelievers who ceased to uphold this kind of belief (denoting by implication or by means of persuation against this notion) were men most miserable.

My point is this: Shall we contrast the soundness of this reality of HOPE with the foundation that our surety position shall not continuously be performed IN THIS LIFE, that’s why Paul exclaimed “IF IN THIS LIFE WE HAVE HOPE, WE ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE”? Think about it many times.

OLD TESTAMENT ‘HELL’: WHAT’S THIS?

Is “hell” really not a place? This is the question often ask when your faith was challenged if someone tried to testify this was not a real place. Let’s share some information from the Scripture what it says therefore about hell and verify if indeed it’s a real place.    

Deuteronomy 32:21-23

King James Version (KJV)

²¹ They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
²² For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the LOWEST HELL, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
²³ I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

In this passage, the description of hell connotes location or place which was determined as found in the lowest part which could consume the earth due to her increase (vastness of its area which is able to consume the earth). More description in hell is through which the foundation of the mountains was the set on “fire”. This is the modern term “volcano” wherein beneath of it is where you can find the magma. Since this is how God describe hell wherein through his anger “shall burn unto the lowest hell”.

Psalm 9:16-18

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ The Lord is known by the JUDGEMENT WHICH HE EXECUTETH: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned into HELL, and all the nations that forget God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

Another clear description in matters of this “hell” issue was its relativity to the JUDGEMENT OF GOD which he executed to the wicked  or for the ungodly and even to nations that forget God.        This was relative to the agony and sufferings when God through His judgment the wicked SHALL BE TURNED INTO HELL.

   Psalm 55:14-16

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

¹⁵ Let DEATH seize upon them, and let them GO DOWN QUICK INTO HELL: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
¹⁶ As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord SHALL SAVE ME.

Again, it’s really evident in the passage which in the OT proved how God through revelation gave its emphasis about hell wherein it was situated (as in the scripture states) found beneath the earth and also related to the EXECUTION OF HIS JUDGEMENT for the wicked and the ungodly.

“HELL” IN THE SO-CALLED GOSPEL S (Matt.- John) ACCOUNT

Matthew 5:21-23

King James Version (KJV)

²¹ Ye have heard that IT WAS SAID OF THEM OF OLD TIME, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

²² But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in DANGER OF HELL FIRE.
²³ Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Christ even confirmed that what was said of them of “old time” concerning those which were stated above were really true and such information he set forth and made to emphasize was the DANGER OF HELL FIRE.

Will there no more fire for the wicked today because the thing which were spoken of in the old time (as confirmed by Christ in His time) had ceased in existence because we are now in the dispensation of Grace which through others interpretation the day of the New Covenant and those things belonged to prophecy? (as only a mere assumption and thereby baseless ). Such notion of ‘no hell fire’ today perhaps could be true if they can prove that there would no longer be wicked people in our present time. As long as there are wicked and wickedness, the fire won’t stop burning. Will there be cessation of wickedness?  Those who were in “hell fire” were already judged to be forever wicked as the fire burning which would be for everlasting.  

CHRIST’S WARNING:

Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to DESTROY both SOUL and BODY in HELL.

There’s a notion through which a belief of no hell was supposedly viewed based on the fact that Paul not cited even a word hell in his epistles. Now, would that be the exact basis for Paul to exclaim that nowhere he mentioned about God’s wrath and His judgment to the wicked and ungodly?  Notice these things:

SUPPOSED “NO HELL” MENTIONED WITH PAUL

Romans 1:17-19

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁷ For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

¹⁸ For the WRATH OF GOD is revealed from heaven AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
¹⁹ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them

In here, it’s plain and simple that God will pour out His wrath (declaring judgment) against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.

Romans 2:5
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself WRATH against the DAY OF WRATH and revelation of the righteous JUDGEMENT OF GOD;

Again, there’s a righteous judgment of God in the day of wrath which was mentioned by Paul in his epistle as an inclusive revelation in our “But Now” period.

Romans 9:22
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath FITTED TO DESTRUCTION.

It was made it plain how dangerous is the time when God pour out His wrath for it speaks in wise as an execution of judgment FOR DESTRUCTION.

Ephesians 5:5-7

King James Version (KJV)

⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the WRATH OF GOD UPON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
⁷ Be not ye therefore partakers with them

Now will it be reasonable to not believe “no hell” doctrine today because Paul did not mention it? Why it’s reasonable to know Paul mentioned about God’s judgment against the children of disobedience?

PROOF THAT PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT HELL;

Psalm 16:10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

 Ephesians 4:7-9

King James Version (KJV)

⁷ But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

⁸ Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
⁹ (Now that he ascended, what is it but that HE ALSO DESCENDED FIRST INTO THE LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH?

Christ went or descended to the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH. It’s a fact! What is that lower parts of the earth based on my previous presentation? It’s H-E-L-L.

 THANKS BE TO GOD AS HIS JUDGEMENT TO THE BOC MEMBERS:

Romans 8:1

King James Version (KJV)

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

YOUR EXISTENCE  AFTER LIFE:

 Will there be life after death? Is there any significant proof when man ceases to exist after death? Can we prove  the annihilationists’  theory?

 Questioning the astute fundamental basis of our hope after many occurring modern teachings to disprove the restored life of God which is the hope of eternal life in Christ Jesus is obviously falsifying the truth through which the purpose of God to restore humanity was preached especially in our age of grace. Through the GRACE of God he freely offered His life through which the most precious life of Jesus for sin was offered as the penalty for our sins. However , the done deal  act of God didn’t only work at that time. When the due time came, (in the dispensation of grace) God’s relative purpose to restore man’s life through Christ was perfectly preached TO ALL, FREELY GIVEN TO ALL, only it requires a sublime TRUST to achieve so that he would also achieve the same victory in Christ Jesus and have obtained hope of ETERNAL LIFE, (Rom. 6:23, 3:24-25) a life which surpasses beyond the life we have at present because our hope is NOT IN THIS LIFE ONLY. If there’s an emphasis of “ONLY”, without doubt, it would prevail towards a never ending existence and thus make it E-T-E-R-N-A-L-.

Titus 1:1-3
King James Version (KJV)

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

² In HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
³ But hath in DUE TIMES (Dispensation of Grace) manifested HIS WORD through preaching, WHICH IS COMMITTED UNTO ME (Paul) according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

Titus 3:6-8

King James Version (KJV)

⁶ Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁷ That being justified by his grace, we should be made HEIRS according to the HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.
⁸ This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Many disbelievers whose thoughts were like of Hemeneus and Alexander reaffirmed and revived their theories assuming to believe in Christ and yet there’s no literal heaven because their spirit life in Christ could be equated with a spiritual heaven which they emphasized and conjectured as not the literal place.  

My shout out was akin based on the relevance of spiritual soundness in view of God’s wonderful plan of hope which is not in this world, with kind of life in this world. I hope many would cling to believe and remain consistent and unwavered by the hope the Lord God Almighty promised to us today.             

 This study has not to be lightly taken from among those who have hope in Christ in our present time considering that this is the blissful hope the Lord had promised to the members of the Body of Christ. Many often cause dissention contending this belief of reality as though only an imagery and illusion.  

Of course those people who would not believe future resurrection contend this hope of heaven as a real place which is something for them a strange view. Many declined and abhor the basic foundation on the tenet of God’s faithful promise. Along in this article were sophisticated proofs to provide you more significant assurances proving that heaven is really and indeed a real place promised by God for those who believed in a present-future hope.

HEAVEN IS A PLACE OF DELIVERANCE: IT’S THE SOLUTION

“As hell was a literal place for the wicked , heaven was the right destination for the saints…”

Futurists had to stick in full acknowledgement of truth to incline this basic principle believing that heaven was such a real place because it’s the ultimate way to qualify God’s design to let us joy together in the Lord for all eternity. How can we prove the essence of continuing life if only in this life we have hope in Christ? My point was that there was a reality of a life not seems like or the same earthly life we had although we already claimed Christ is in us. We couldn’t see this life we had in our present life is a life with the absence of troubles, suffering, and pain. This is a fact that we’re still living in this devastated world of ours. A world ruled by the god of this world whose minds were blinded and whose nature were called the children of wrath and children of disobedience. If there would be no future hope with the reality of this blissful place of reality called “heaven” then suffice to not relinquish the veracity of His promise in the hope of deliverance pertinent to our “vile body” which shall be put on “incorruption”.

Romans 8: 16-25

¹⁶ The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
¹⁷ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
²⁰ For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
²¹ Because the creature itself also SHALL BE DELIVERED FROM THE BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into the GLORIOUS LIBERTY OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
²² For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
²³ And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
²⁴ For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
²⁵ But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Upon checking these relative truth

We couldn’t twist what was written in His word knowing it’s a resolute proof to have more confidence to God’s faithful promise relative to the eternal place and destination where we could eternally experience life which was void of sufferings. This will be a life where we could differentiate and compare what life we obtained on this present dispensation of grace.

A “no heaven theory” actually presupposes the  truthfulness of our  long-awaited H-O-P-E which the Lord promised to His saints and therefore in my analysis had much to negate more basic doctrines such as the doctrine of resurrection, glorification, conscious existence of soul and spirit in the heavenly state  opposite to those who were in hell (Gehenna, Tartarus),  and many others.  

HEAVENLY STATE POSITION:

Ephesians 3:9-11

King James Version (KJV)

⁹ And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in HEAVENLY PLACES might be known by the CHURCH the manifold wisdom of God,
¹¹ According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

ACTIVITY IN HEAVEN:

1 Corinthians 6:2-4

King James Version (KJV)

² Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

³ Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
⁴ If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

 Paul is talking about the world where we could judge the world and the things pertinent to it and its life. Which place do you think you shall JUDGE ANGELS?
