At the Moment of Salvation - 21 & 22

   ...that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; or with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.  Romans 10:9-10 


At the moment of salvation, every believer in Jesus Christ receives 40 things from God. Of the 40 things, 39 of them are permanent and can never be removed from the believer - even by God Himself! The only temporary thing is the Filling of the Holy Spirit which we lose due to our own free will to act against God. We can repeatedly gain the Filling of the Spirit following confession of our known sins to the Father.

21. Unseen Assets

At the moment of salvation, we receive all of the unseen assets of the Christian life. Our recognition, utilization, and possession of these assets requires our daily spiritual growth which is necessary to receive blessing because of our election to privilege and opportunity and predestination. It is also necessary to function under our priesthood and to fulfill our ambassadorship.

Spiritual growth also enables us to "live out of our own souls" and to realize that all assets, provision, and blessing for time and eternity are guaranteed by the Triune God! All of this demands maximum Bible truth living in our souls as Spirit-filled Christians. Ephesians 1:2-6

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. (Ephesians 1:2-6)

22. Judgement of Sins

All of our sins were judged under the spiritual death of our Lord Jesus Christ. The application of this truth to our lives as Christians is of the utmost importance because all of our personal sins were judged at the cross. Whenever we confess all of our known sins to God the Father, He forgives those known sins and he also forgives all of the unknown sins.

This "forgiveness and cleansing" is a reality in our lives because Christ was judged for all sins in His spiritual death on the cross. also, our confession of sins is the basis for the frustration of the Old Sin Nature controlling our lives and our restoration to fellowship with God. 1 Pet 2:24; Romans 4:25; 1 John 1:9

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24)

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. (Romans 4:25)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
