The prompt

given this background information Ah, but "also in Christ shall _all_ be made alive." No, we are not talking about the passing away of this physical form, but of a present state of being in "trespasses and sins" (Eph. 2:1-3). "As it is written: 'There is _none righteous_ , no, not one; There is _none_ who understands; There is _none_ who seeks after God'" (Rom. 3:10-11). "For _all_ have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23). There are no exceptions. This being true, then there are also no exceptions in His death on the cross. From the least offender to the worst, He became our judgment, the "propitiation (atonement) for our sins: and not for ours only (the church; His body), _but also for the sins of the whole world_ " (I John 2:2; KJV). 1 Timothy 4:7-11 (ESV) 7 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather **train yourself for godliness** ; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, **godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come**. 9 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. 10 For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, **who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe**. 11 **Command and teach these things**. What did Paul tell Timothy? God "is the Savior of _all_ people, _especially of those who believe_." So it is that "godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the _present life_ and also _for the life to come_." "Command and teach these things." So is this what we are teaching? Are we exhibiting to others that God is their Savior, regardless of their position of faith (or lack thereof), or are we exhibiting self-righteousness, thinking we are better off than they and so condemn them in our smugness? Now, consider the following. Romans 2:12-16 (NKJV) 12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law _are_ just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 **for when Gentiles** (nations other than Israel), **who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves** , 15 **who show the work of the law written in their hearts** , their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves _their_ thoughts accusing or else excusing _them_ ) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. Acts 10:34-35 (NKJV) 34 Then Peter opened _his_ mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 **But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him**. When we bring these passages together, it should be evident that anyone who "fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him." It doesn't matter if they've heard the gospel or "accepted" the Lord, they are "accepted by Him." It doesn't matter what "faith" they embrace, what race they are or what country they are born in; if they do those things which God deems as right, they are accepted, _end of story_. You see, my friend, God is not bound by our so-called preaching of the gospel. If so, then He is in deep trouble, for which gospel must people accept? Is it the message of the Catholic Church, the Baptist Church, or the Pentecostal Church? Must they follow our predetermined rituals and beliefs we've decided on, without which, they cannot enter His kingdom? Friend, God is Spirit (John 4:24), therefore, _He is limitless_. He is not bound by rote and ritual or by anything we have devised as a means to "get to heaven." In Him, all of us "live, and move, and have our being," for "we are also His offspring" (Acts 17:28). "He is not far from each one of us" (Acts 17:27). Know that the gospel or "good message" of His kingdom is _His_ message, not ours, birthed by the Father through Jesus Christ and foreordained before the foundation of the world (I Peter 1:20). Inasmuch as it was divinely ordained, _it is divinely wrought_ , and it is His will and purpose, not ours, which will ultimately prevail, and this despite our ignorance or rejection thereof. # Chapter Three # ETERNITY Isaiah 57:15 (ESV) 15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, **who inhabits eternity** , whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite. What a precious word from Isaiah! Eternity. The Strong's Concordance defines this as, " _Duration_ , in the sense of _advance_ or _perpetuity_." It is taken from the root word which means, "To _advance_ , i.e. _pass_ on or _continue_. Extract from the text what it means to live in eternity.
