A Question On Salvation In Jesus
Here is question from a reader on Salvation in and through Jesus along with my answer.
Question
I’m new to your site and a little confused. My main question is, do you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and it is only through His salvation that we are saved?
Answer
Thanks for your question.
Yes, I believe in Jesus and I also believe that we are saved through him. However, I believe that salvation is much greater than what I learned as a child. It is so much more than escaping hell or getting a ticket to heaven… although these are great things. Salvation is a birth into a new species. We are no longer human beings struggling through the human condition.
In Christ we are born again… born of His flesh and bone. We are now Divine beings filled with His life, which is eternal life (deathless life not chronological time), and His Spirit. Natural human beings are born of the first Adam with all of Adam’s limitations. The born again Christian (disciple of Jesus) is born of the second Adam. The first Adam was a man.
The second Adam is God/Christ incarnated in flesh to pay the penalty of sin (separation from God and all the acts that come out of that state)(or for the metaphysical student… the karmic debt), destroy Lucifer (the fallen angel that caused the earth to be in chaos as recorded in Genesis 2) and his work (the curse which resulted from his rebellion, fall and the cosmic war he began), and to birth a new species of heavenly beings who live on the earth. Remember, the Bible teaches that Christ is returning to earth to rule and He is bringing heaven (the new Jerusalem) with Him.
We are to express heaven on earth now in preparation for His return and the beginning of the Ages to Come. We are to grow into this new state of being until we are filled with His Glory… “The whole earth groans for the birth of the Sons of God!”
There are two things you should know about my site:
- It is written for folks who come from a metaphysical or alternative spiritual path, not the traditional Christian. I am using language and imagery that are quite familiar to these folks but may be confusing to a traditional Christian. This could be compared to Paul in Athens talking to the Greeks about the Unknown God to whom they had created a statue. So this language may be the cause of some of your confusion. All people are welcome to visit my site but not all will feel connected to my language or even my message.
- Secondly, my message is different than what you will hear in many churches. My emphasis is not on heaven and hell but on living in the fullness of Spirit in our physical forms right here and right now. Many churches do not emphasis living and striving for the “perfect man” while on earth. Many feel that most of our transformation will happen in heaven or when Jesus returns. I believe that we were meant to live supernatural lives now, in a physical form. I believe that if the life of Christ dwells in me than that deathless life will transform me now so that when the Lord returns I will look just like Him. My potential for growing up into him is activated by my faith in the promise of letting the spirit flow completely through me. By faith, I died (to the human condition born of the first Adam) with Christ so that Christ (the supernatural Second Adam) can live in me NOW! He can express completely and fully through me NOW! We are in preparation for the Ages To Come! And things are about to change very soon.
So you may or may not feel comfortable with the language or the message. You are welcome to study with us but I understand if this is not for you. I trust that the Spirit will guide each of us to wherever we can grow. Follow your heart, trust in the Lord and you will find your perfect place.
I hope that even if we disagree on the emphasis of the Gospel, we can agree to disagree in love. Love is the only commandment that Jesus left for us to follow. Love perfects us in Him!
In His Glory,
Marty Dow
