CRUELTY TO HUMANS?

Please share this lesson with your family, friends co-worker and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.

It is thought strange by some that our salvation should demand our entire submission to the law of God. But The Lord Could Not Do a More Cruel Thing than to save man in his rebellion. No man can be saved unless he comes under the rule of Christ.

Salvation means to us complete surrender of soul, body, and spirit. Because of the unruly elements in our nature, our passions often gain the mastery. The only hope of the sinner is to cease from sin. Then his will is in harmony with the will of Christ. His soul is brought into fellowship with God.

Those who enlist in the army of Christ must in all things submit to His authority and consult His will. Implicit obedience is the condition of salvation. God’s law must be obeyed in every particular.

It is our salvation to make His law our rule, His life our pattern, His glory our chief aim. To keep ourselves in the love of God, to be bound to obedience by His requirements, this is to be free in Christ. {ST November 15, 1899, par. 8}

Most "Christians" claim that we are saved in our sins, in our rebellion. What they are doing by claiming this, however, is calling God the worse of tyrannical dictators.

Salvation by definition requires total separation from sin. The Bible is clear. There will be no sinners in Heaven; only saints who have been completely saved from their sin, not in their sin.
