(6) The way of the salvation
In the kingdom of God, many angels rebelled against God because they
wanted to be like God. God took their clothes off and put them into clay. 『And the angels which kept not their first
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.』(Jude1:6) Man (Adam) was born in the world.
God put Adam into the garden of Eden, and made Eve his wife. They wanted
to be like God and did not shake off the temptations of Satan. They ate the
fruit of the tree to know good and evil, and they were driven out again to the
world.
God killed the sheep, made leather clothes, gave them, and promised them
the seed in the future.『And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.』(Genesis 3:15) But nobody believed except
Noah and his family of seven. God judges every human being by water. Later, God
chose Abraham and made a covenant on seed's promise. This is circumcision.
Circumcision is a ceremony to cut the body, this is a promise of the seed. So
God made the people believe in the seed(Christ) that come to world in the
future. But, no one believed Jesus, Son of God. The disciples also ran away
from the cross. God will save those who come into Jesus Christ to be died on
the cross.
The salvation is the faith to take off the bark of the flesh from the
parents, to obtain the seed of heaven. Those who want to become like God by
themselves refuse this. They find pleasure in the world and take on the
pleasures of the body.『Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as
Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also
should walk in newness of life.』 (Romans 6:4) Only when you are born again, you are saved from God.
