"God Values a Harvest of Souls!"
There are many TRUTHs I have yet to learn of and about God, and it is by HIS Spirit, from whom I receive understanding of that which I have yet to learn and experience, butit is only because of my Obedience and Faithfulness to Christ, and HIS Spirit, both who bear Witness to the things of God, will I be blessed and favored in my receiving the understanding.
The Apostle Paul, clearly INSPIRED by Holy Spirit, to write Revealing the TRUTH of Christ to us, knew exactly what I need to understood the eternal value concerning the fate of all who refuse to accept and believe in Christ as Lord and Savior.
The FREEDOM that I enjoy as a Believer in Christ, came at a price, costly and eternal, COSTLY, in that Christ gave HIS Life as the ONE and ONLY ransom found to be WORTHY which could purchase my soul from captivity within the camp of God's enemy, and ETERNAL, which closes the book, settles that question of my everlasting destiny, and Seals that part of my Covenant with God which Deals with the condemnation and subsequent punishment associated with sin.
It is only by Revelation through Holy Spirit, that each person gains this understanding, in that a CHOICE to Believe, Accept and LIVE in HIS Freedom must be made.
God's Grace abounds, out of HIS deep Love for HIS Creation, that HE is able and willing to Save only those who CHOOSE HIS Son as their Lord and Savior.
Countless Scriptures inspired by Holy Spirit, which Obedient servants such as Paul, Peter and James, wrote concerning the Enduring and Eternal Grace of God, HIS FREEdom Gift to me and all who will CHOOSE HIM.
It is not JUST because God Lovingly gave HIS Son, Christ Jesus, to become my Salvation, my Savior and Lord, JUST simply because THAT would mean any and all who choose to continue living in and under the bondage of sin would ALSO receive Eternal Life WITHOUT having made the CHOICE to LIVE by Faith, which is given to Believers only through Holy Spirit,
Throughout the history of mankind, and most recently, studies on the behavior of captives following the granting of their freedom, CHOSE to REMAIN as captives, simply because it was comfortable, secure and provided for their needs in the physical realm.
Never quite understanding the eternal and spiritual association where reaping the consequences of continuing to live in captivity and bondage brings God's judgement of the eternal and everlasting punishment of death and separation from a Holy and Righteous God, who by HIS own WORD proves that HE LOVES them so much that WILLINGLY, HE gave HIS only Son to die that they might LIVE and receive Salvation and Eternal life, but ONLY for those who by FAITH, choose to Believe and Obediently serve HIM as their Master and Lord.
