Working FOR YOUR Salvation

Most people will think that this is possible without knowing that they're saying that in their hearts... Let me just clarify 1 simple term, SALVATION... Well, salvation basically means the act of saving or protecting from harm, risk, loss,destruction(from dictionary.com)... Ok, let's be frank on this, where do you this can happen to you??? There's definitely ain't no place like this on Planet Earth!!! So, this place should be heaven right??? I'm not equating salvation to heaven but this is just to simplify things and I bet most of you are definitely thinking in that...

Now, IF you want to work for salvation or to get into heaven, how can you do it??? Well, the answer you can think of is probably by doing good works which is correct... BUT, here comes the problem, what kind of works are good and what the heck is GOOD?! Let me assume that all of us have a common understanding that good things are to obey the law and stuff, but how do you fit heaven into this picture... Here's a simple example of what I'm hitting on, just imagine that you're applying to get a job, all of your preparations and interviews has to be done to secure your place of getting that job right??? So you can see that in order to get a job, all the procedures that has to be done are all job-related, logical la...

I hope that in your mind at least the concept of heaven you must have is that there's God's presence... So, based on the example above, in order to get into heaven a.k.a the place where God is, what kind of work do you think you CAN DO to get there??? God-related works la!!!

I bet most of you out there don't even know who God is in the 1st place, so why do you even bother to do what you're doing now??? Because it ain't getting you to heaven which means you're definitely going SOMEWHERE(I think you know where it is)...

I'm not saying that once you know God, you can start working your way to heaven... I know this sounds contradicting but just try to grasp what I'm saying... You can't work your way to heaven just by knowing God because you just DON'T WANT to listen to Him moreover TO WORK FOR HIM!!! For goodness sake, we can't even understand God properly, how can we know what He wants us to do... That is why Jesus came to Earth!!! To reveal who God is, what He wants us to do, and to give life a.k.a. heaven and bring judgment a.k.a. hell... Thankfully, we DON'T HAVE TO WORK for our SALVATION, otherwise we'd be doomed to destruction before we even try to find out who God is...

You might know say that by knowing Jesus and doing all that He said can get you into heaven a.k.a legalism, BUT then you're just missing the whole point of Jesus dying on the cross for your idiotic sins!!! He came to show us what we're supposed to do which is to glorify God and how we have always failed to do so... Then the consequence of accepting or rejecting this truth falls in... AND NEVER THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!! By believing in Jesus to get you to heaven, you're no different from those who believe in Jesus' signs... Because the importance of the signs are not the actions but the arrow that the signs are pointing to which is Jesus is The Christ, The Son Of God!!!

And we are to live like Jesus because this is how it should be... We, creations should glorify our Creator in every single aspect of our life!!! In heaven, we will be worshipping God, so we should also live life on Earth like heaven in a sense that we should keep honoring God for who He is and not to want to get to heaven because you'll be missing the point!!!

May God help you seek Truth...
