Excerpts from "Prepare Before All Hell Breaks Loose!"

    God is a personal God. And because He is a personal God He made us personal to have a personal relationship with Him, He is not distant He is intimate.
     Generally speaking, 21st century humanist man does not comprehend a personal God. Therefore man’s first step towards salvation is to comprehend the personal God that exists. 
    Believers must therefore first share their personal experience of the reality of this personal God. 
    Elohim is Superman and SuperGod, Creator, Priest and King. He’s the delighted Father who has never stopped holding your hand through life’s blessings, valleys, storms and deepest pits. He is our loving Father, self-sacrificing Redeemer and a “holy” Spirit, which teaches us and spiritually guides us to the very throne of the Almighty. 

Proclaim the Creator’s glory.
    When witnessing to an unbeliever, our first thought must be to instill in their heart is a hunger to know this God we speak of. So tell them of His marvelous ways. 
        There are over two million catalogued species that cover His Earth. Scientist estimate that there may be up to 100 million species  which they have not yet cataloged. Yeshua made them all and He did it in two days.
 Of the stars that we can see, scientists say there are 70 sextillion stars in the universe.
 That number looks like this: 
70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. That's about 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on all the world's beaches and deserts. 
And He placed them in 130 trillion galaxies, 130,000,000,000,000, and those are only the ones our telescopes can see! And why did He do it? Because He can, and I believe He did it to show you His awesome creating powers and to glimpse into the beauty of His soul.

    He paints the sky a peaceful blue, and sunsets a fiery red, He carves mountains, forms stalactites in caves, and adorns trees with fragrant blossoms. He roars the seas, rushes rivers, cascades waterfalls and babbles brooks. He lights the skies with lightening bolts and starry nights, bilious clouds shimmer, winds gust and glittering snowflakes blanket the ground. Tornadoes twist and hurricane pound, blizzards whiteout, volcanoes blackout and tsunamis wipe-out.
 He causes fish to jump into the air, bats navigate by radar, and kangaroos leap with baby aboard. Kittens purr, hyenas laugh, spiders weave, turtles snap, lion’s roar, and eagles soar, ant armies march in line and eels light up the ocean floor. He humors us with the mole rat and the aardvark. Baby chicks are balls of softness, the woodpecker is ridiculous, and the giraffe floats gracefully as she runs. 
    He provides us with every sweet and juicy fruit and tangy vegetable. Hot cinnamon buns with butter and honey are His gift.  Sweet wine, ribs on the barbie, and corn on the cob, are these not all from the Almighty? Sing His praise. 
    He designs every person uniquely, as every snowflake, as every leaf on every tree, and every blade of grass. He purposes to make them unique, because He is a personal God. He tells us that He has numbered every hair on our head and a sparrow will not fall to the ground without His knowing.  
    Can you see Him? I see His beautiful soul in the eyes of a newborn baby. I see Him in the ways of a mother deer with her newborn fawn, in the play of Mama bear and cub and in the diligent protection of penguin parents in the Arctic’s unrelenting storm. Can you see Him?
    Can you hear Him? I hear Him in the song of the mocking bird, the flutter of hummingbird wings, a parrot's chatter, summer crickets, the howling wind, the crack of thunder, the whisper of a golden wheat field as it sways to and fro, lapping waters on the shore, buzzing bees, raindrops dancing, a child giggling, and the sound of my own heart beating. Can you hear Him? 
    Do you know His love? God provided all these blessings because this good Father loves you and wishes you to join the family. He desires you to become “His child of extreme importance,” and He longs to give you every good thing.
And when this good Father saw us dying because of our own poor choice, He held back nothing, He gave all He could give, and He did it for love.
     God is perfect love. The scriptures say "God is Love, because there is nothing in His nature that is not enveloped in His unconditional love. His love is cherishing, self-sacrificing and 100% unconditional. The Lord said, " I have loved thee with an everlasting love" His love is unconditional giving and impartial towards all men, expressed in His charity, loyalty, shielding protection, and abundant provision. 
    In my deepest moments of sadness, my valleys, I climb up into my Father’s lap, and look into  Papa's eyes and I cry. He first wipes my tears, then holding my face in His hands He says, “Don’t cry baby girl, everything will be alright, Daddy's here." Do you know His love?
    He is enthroned in supreme royalty, majesty, and wondrous awe. He is King over all the universe. All things are in subjection to Him. He is adored, exalted, glorified, and forever praised. He is wholly consumed in perfect holiness, immaculate, incapable of evil in thought or deed. 
    He is "the Holy One," perfect in purity. The magnitude of His exceedingly magnificent holy nature is immeasurable and incomprehensible. "Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou only art holy." Thou art of pure eyes than to behold evil, and can not look on iniquity." "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all." He possesses a righteous wrath; a holy hatred for all that is unrighteous, all that which repels His nature.
    He is immutable, absolute, perpetual, and enduring. He dwells in eternity, and not in the dimension of time. He is ageless, He changes not. He exists in multi-dimensions and non-dimension, and unknown dimensions. 
    He is omnipotent, possessing infinite, limitless, incalculable supreme power. He is unconquerable, and wholly victorious and triumphant. The potential of His attributes are unknowable. He is omnipresent, everywhere all the time. He sees every drop in every ocean and knows it’s path from it's beginning to it's end. He moves every cloud, feeds every bird, opens every blossom, for He is there. He is omniscient, boundless in knowledge, knowing all there is to know, of all things, in all the universes, for all of time and beyond.  His thought is everywhere and there is nowhere where His thought is untouched. 
    He is truth, and in Him is no ability to lie. He is long-suffering and shows compassion to those who offend Him. He is sovereign, He does as He pleases, and He is in absolute control in the universe.
     He makes no mistakes, not ever, forever. His wisdom is enveloped in perfect knowledge seen through eyes of perfect love.
He is self-sufficient; He achieves His will by His power alone. He is uniquely self -existent, He is the "Uncaused Cause."
The Godhead is the totality of God, the Father, Yeshua the Son and the Holy Spirit. God speaks of His oneness, in His name "I AM," 
    He is eternal, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever" "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.” He is infinite and therefore all things related to Him are infinite as well.
     His greatness is known to Himself alone. 1Kings 8:27 states, "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain Thee. How much less this house which I have built?” As Job speaks of God's mighty ways and deeds he writes of Him, in 26:14, "Behold these are the fringes of His ways: And how faint a word we hear of Him." What we know of His greatness is infinitesimal compared to the coming revelation of Him in glory. 
    And yet in His Royal Majesty’s glorious beauty, supreme power and holiness there remains an eternal imperfection like no other.....the nail pierced hands of mercy's love.
    God judges in perfect righteousness and in perfect mercy. But even as God desires mercy, He must also satisfy His perfect justice and so His justice nailed His mercy to the cross. 



          This is what it means to be loved

Repentance, Real Change
Requires Real Change 
    When we come to the knowledge and understanding of our sin nature and resulting dead spirit, man faces his own moral conscience. Man now senses moral guilt, his true state of guiltiness. Then and only then can man clearly see his three great needs.
    Man's first great need is for repentance. Man must repent, meaning to "change his mind" from desiring autonomy and his God repelling sin nature. Man must do a 180, understanding sin as a destructive deadly force. He must see the results of his sin nature, separating man from God, and leaving man spiritually deaf, dumb and blind, with the final reality of death. Although man may fully agree that sin as evil, he may not wish to give up his antithesis nature. Man must see this nature for the poison that it is and then choose to forfeit this nature replacing it with God’s will, a perfect nature. 
    Man's second need is “choosing” irrevocable commitment and submission to God. When man, in an exercise of his free will, repents, recognizes his need to "relinquish" his freewill to sin, will result in man's proper place before God. God becomes man's Lord, and man's reference point for all of life. "Not my will, but Thine will be done." In this choice man affirms, "My “desire” is to always choose rightly. I choose to give up my freewill to sin for God's will of holiness. I choose to relinquish my ability to choose the antithesis, the anti-absolutes, and the nature of pride, while maintaining the portion of my free will to choose to love God and follow Him alone.” Now, of course man being in the flesh will continue to sin, but the realization of the need to forfeit our will for God’s will is the commitment He seeks. We thus choose God to not only be our Savior but also as Lord over our entire life. When we are in glory this perfection will be completed.
    I must put great emphasis on this point. In the beginning, God had to grant man a free will to choose to love God, all the while knowing man's eventual choice to sin. Unfortunately there was no other way. And so man must realize the reason God bestowed choice, for love to exist and then the need for man to “freely choose” to relinquish his free will to sin. 
    Man's third need is a spiritual rebirth, to be Born Again. His dead spirit needs reviving so that man may once again possess the vehicle necessary in order to commune with God, a living Spirit, to hear God again, to speak with God again, to know God again and to love God again. This is a complete man.

Man’s condition, diagnosis and prognosis

    Mankind has fallen from his perfect state, his "Made in the image" nature has changed from perfect holiness, drawing man to God, to its antithesis nature, repelling God. When most of us think of "evil" words like diabolic, wicked, depraved, perverse and villainous come to mind. Although these things express the nature of evil they don't define evil. Evil is a state void of the character of God to varying degrees.   
     In order to regain the presence of God, man's purposed state, mankind must regain perfection as in the first state. Our Lord is Elohim Kedshim, “the Holy God” and being a holy God He cannot allow imperfection in His Heaven, doing so would be opposed to His perfect nature. Perfection is unachievable for fallen man to accomplish, since sin has mutated man, leaving him in a state of putrid decay.

Dead men can do nothing.
 
    Man is impotent. His many offerings of self-salvation are but a smoldering stench before a holy God. As Isaiah says all our good works  “are as filthy rags.” But the problem is not merely one of corrupted flesh, a sin nature. Not only is man condemned to die in the flesh but also his spirit lies dormant, inactive, dead. Man’s only vehicle for trans-universal communication with the Master of the Universe has left its tabernacle.  The enlightenment of guilt convicts our spiritual brain.

THE BRAIN-BATTLE
    One of the results of sin is man's moral guilt. But if man's sin nature lures and entices man to commit sin, giving man permission to do so, where does moral guilt come from? Man's guilty conscious, his inner voice, is the conviction of the Holy Spirit, revealing and exposing man's true state of guiltiness resultant from sin. This conviction isn’t merely a sense of abstract guilt “feelings” as psychologist claim, but a true conviction of moral guilt.  The Holy Spirit is pointing man to do what is righteous, while the antithesis sin nature, compels him to do what is unrighteous. This is the unseen battlefield of the heart and the core of our spiritual brain-battle.

     In the book of Romans Paul explains well the terminal malignancy of sin. Romans 7:14-25 says, "For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin, which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin." 
    Some unbelievers are convinced that they are “good” people. They will contend that once they've committed a sin, they repent and then never commit that sin again. While this may be occasionally true of a murderer or bank robber, this is not the case for the vast majority of their sins. The unregenerate are by their very nature repeat offenders. 
    A few years ago I was witnessing to a 20 year old Mormon man from California who was fulfilling his missionary term in North Carolina. He told me he was a good man and that when he sins, he repents and doesn't repeat that sin. I told him he was lying, because unsaved men do not have the power to not sin, lacking the Holy Spirit's power.
But the young man insisted he repents, and turns from his sin.
So I asked him this, "The first time you masturbated were you truly sorry afterward and repented of that sin? "Yes ma'am," he boldly said. "Good, OK, how about the second time you masturbated, were you truly sorry and repented? "Yes mam, I really did." " OK, now the third time you masturbated, were you really and truly sorry and repented? "Yes, yes. I did. " Now, one last question, after the 50Th time you masturbated where you truly sorry and repented of that sin? He said he got the point.
    Ephesians 2:1-10, "And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest."
     I'm sure this young man truly wanted to be good, and to do good. But dead in spirit he could not, he hadn't the power to fight against his antithesis nature. James 1:4 "But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death." The luring and enticing of our sin nature creates an "unholy desire," which tempts us into sin, just as it did to Adam and Eve.

The Blood of Eternal Life 

Excerpts from "Prepare Before All Hell Breaks Loose!"
      Sin is deadly poison and has the power of death. “For the wages of sin is death…” Man's blood is septic with sin; his prognosis, inevitable septic shock and death. Because mankind’s problem is universal, God made the solution universal. God said that our only cure for this poisoning is Yeshua’s blood transfusion; the solitary, universal antidote to restore man's life is a blood transfusion of royal lineage. Lev, 17:11, tells us, "'For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement." 
    Romans 5: 12,says, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned-- " 
    Before the foundation of the earth, before the space, time continuum, Elohay Selichot, the "God of Forgiveness" saw His beautiful creation, man, whom He loved with all His heart. He saw man's need to be saved from his self-imposed destiny. And so within the beauty of His soul, God planned to rescue man, to save us from our rebellious state and resulting demise. The only possible provision of forgiveness would be by an act of the Father's mercy and grace alone. The gift of His blood for forgiveness of sin would be by His choice, because He is the One who must forgive.
    YHVH M'kadesh "The Lord Who Makes Holy" chose His forgiving salvation to make us holy again, planned that salvation, provided the sacrifice for that salvation and executed that salvation. Nothing more need be added to the Redeemer's salvation, nor could anything more be added to His finished work of salvation. 
    In God's courtroom He is judge and He is jury, and He has found us guilty. But He is also our defense attorney, as Christ has become our mediator and advocate. He took our place as the guilty one, and He was sentenced to die. He canceled out our debt, the remission of all of our sins resulting in our full pardon. He was the executioner, and the One executed. He laid down His life.
 
It was His plan, all His plan, His sacrifice, and only His sacrifice, His Son, and His only Son, His love, and all His love.

He got knocked down but He got up again. 

    In the book of Isaiah the Lord God said His own arm brought salvation. Isaiah 59:16, "And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him." He offers His salvation to you; you don't offer your salvation to Him. He offers, you receive, or He offers and you reject, and that is all, period. 
    Who's shoulders bore my debt? The only One who could endure the unleashed outpouring of the wrath of God.
    John 5:22, "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son."

1 John 4 14, "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world."

2 Corn 5"21, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
     In order for Him to take our place in death, He needed to take our place in life, the second Adam. In the Spirit, Jesus did not have a human body and it's life giving blood and so to save us from hell He had to become "The Son of Man." meaning the "representative of man," our blood atonement.
    Yeshua lived in the world of antithesis, just as we have. Adam failed because he lacked faith; he stopped believing God resulting in disobedience. But one man, Yeshua, though in the flesh, never stopped believing God, His faith was perfect. And in His perfect faith He obeyed the 613 commandments, He fulfilled the requirements of the law, thus He was a perfect man, with perfect blood, unblemished, untainted by sin. He alone was worthy to provide the sacrifice on the altar of God, His life's blood. Not only was His blood perfect, without sin, and therefore an acceptable sacrifice for all sin but it was indelible, it was eternal as Yeshua is eternal. Therefore the salvation offering was eternal in nature, keeping those who accept Him saved from hell eternally.
     The prophet Isaiah declares Him, Isa 9: 6,  
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." This child was called the Mighty God and the Eternal Father, truly deity in bodily form. 
    Luke 2:9, "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
    Jesus became the Man God, as John 1:1tells us, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us..." Hebrews 2:9 says, " But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." 
    And so Yeshua emptied Himself of His power, "being made a little lower than the angels," fully human and yet remaining divine in character. He relied solely on His Father’s intercession. He came to us, not in glory, not in royalty, but in humility, a humble servant. Not to be served but to serve, tasting death for every man. 
    "1Corn.15: 21-22 says, "For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive." Our sins were the poison that Jesus drank, as He "became sin.” He then paid the penalty of sin by His death, as "the wages of sin is death." Perfect submission by faith was the necessary requirement for a perfect blood sacrifice. 
    Hebrews 12:1 says, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."     
    And what was that "joy" that was set before Jesus that enabled Him to endure the flogging, the whipping, the six inch hanging nails, the shame of being hung naked on the cross? There, as He hung on that cross, “the joy” which was set before Him, was YOU. He saw you. Yeshua envisioned eternity spent with you and the joy of it all set Him on an unfailing course. 
    Yeshua loved you to death. 
 Col 2:14-15,"When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us ALL our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 
    Your certificate of debt, has been canceled out because it has been paid in full, forgiving “ALL” our transgressions, as Yeshua has "nailed it to the cross" because that's where it was fully paid. As He said, "It is finished!" 
    Psalms103: 12, declares, "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." Hmmm. Imagine… that would be over a googolplex of light years away! As space is infinite, therefore the distance between east from west is infinite. In other words, mathematically God has removed our sin from us to the farthest point possible, and since space is an infinite distance our sins are an infinite distance. God cared so much about our worry of worthiness and acceptance that He wrote these words to calm our fears and assure us of our place and position  within His kingdom. Do you see how very personal all this is?
Bought with Blood 
    1 Corn 6:9," Do you not know that your body is a temple of he Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price." Paying your debt, Jesus "bought" you out of debtor's prison, hell.
    Peter1: 18, "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:" 
    Romans 5:9, "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Canceling your debt also canceled your reservation in hell and preserved your name in the Book of Life once you accept His gift of salvation. 
    Mark 10:45 says, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." This is an incredible verse because the word ransom is such a perfect word to describe what Jesus made Himself to be for us. Ransom means the price demanded for the redemption of a prisoner, slave or one kidnapped, to deliver or redeem from captivity or bondage. Satan kidnapped Adam, turned him into a slave to sin and imprisoned him in death. Yeshua ransomed us by becoming our ransom! How could anyone not love Him after what He has done for us?
    John 6:37-39, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."

     What is the will of the Father? 
    The father’s will is that every one that sees Jesus as Lord and Savior and believes in Him receives eternal life. All that the Father gives Him He loses none. He will never lose even one. He worked hard for His reward, which is you and will soon come to take possession of that which is His. Nothing and no one can separate us from Christ, and that includes the "noone" of ourselves.

But what does it mean to believe?
Believing is a committed faith. 
    I love the story of the tightrope walker who strung a tightrope over Niagara Falls. A crowd quickly assembled and the tightrope walker called to them, “Who believes I can walk this tightrope to the other side? The crowd cheered, “We believe!”  The man then walked the tightrope across the falls to the other side. Then the man asked, “Who believes I can walk this tightrope with my eyes blindfolded? “We believe!” they shouted. And so the man walked blindfolded to the other side. Then the man asked, “Who believes I can walk this tightrope with a man on my back?” “We believe! We believe!” they exclaimed. Then the man asked, “Who will volunteer?”
     Anyone can “say” they believe, but true faith is an active commitment.
    
What must I do to be saved from hell?
    With the price paid almost 2000 years ago, the issue of atoning for sin is finished, having been nailed to the cross. 
    Now man's central issue concerning everlasting salvation is whether to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord or to reject Him, and that is all. 
   Salvation comes when one makes a faith filled confession through prayer, admitting to God that you truly believe that you are a sinner, worthy of hell and in need of a Savior. and that you accept Jesus as your God, your  Savior and the only Lord you will serve. That through His perfect blood shed through death, Yeshua paid in full the penalty for all of your sins. That His gift alone is wholly sufficient to redeem you from hell. 
    This confession of faith and acceptance of His gift of eternal life translates you from death to life the moment you possess faith and confess. You are now "Born Again" and saved from hell forever. 
    Romans 10:9-11 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." 
    Like a man drowning in quick sand, his only hope is to, by faith, grab on to the life preserver thrown to him, making active his faith in the One holding that preserver. One actively believes that the "Life Preserver” will save him. And the proof is that the  arm that is at the end of the lifeline is nail pierced. Yeshua asked in Isaiah 59:1, "Is my arm so short that it can not save..." 
     John 2:25, "This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life." 
    2 Timothy 2:13,"If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself." God can't lie, if He said you have eternal life you have eternal life. Let God be true and every man a liar. 
    Acts 4: 12,"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Romans 5:1, "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God." 
        John 1:12,"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." 
    Eph.1: 13-14 says, "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory."     
    Therefore the moment you believed, you were sealed in the Holy Spirit, who is given as a pledge, sealed with His “paid in full” stamp, which is the indwelling Holy Spirit, the sign of your inheritance. You are now God’s own possession. This spiritual birth is Christ’s baptism, being born again, alive again in the spirit.
     1 Peter 3:21-22, says, "Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you, not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him." The baptism that "now" saves you is "not" the baptism that removed the dirt off your flesh, water baptism, John’s baptism of repentance. The baptism that now saves you is the spiritual baptism of Yeshua.  As one may think of water baptism as being dunked in water, Christ’s spiritual baptism of salvation is when the Holy Spirit is dunked into you.

Forgiveness 
    The issue of forgiveness is paramount to the issue of salvation. The reason Jesus died was for forgiveness of sin.
     If you lack faith that God has completely forgiven you then you are not trusting 100% in the sacrifice of Christ's death, that He was able to pay your penalty, that His sacrifice was imperfect and lacking. You accuse Him of being a liar. If you do not believe 100% in the finished work of Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins then you are not a believer. 
    There is no such thing as believing a little. He either paid the price or He didn't. He's either the Redeemer or He's not. He either saved you from hell or He didn’t. You are either forgiven or you're not. When we truly understand that Jesus' gift led to our justification and forgiveness we are born again. If we say we are not forgiven we are no more saved then the fallen angels.
    Our "relationship" changes not when we sin, you are still His child, He is still your Father, no matter what mess you get yourself into. However our "fellowship" can change because now being spirit filled we are keenly cognizant of our true moral guilt and we may become burdened by the sadness that we have disappointed Father. He doesn't stop talking, we do. 
    However, it is right to be sorrowful for our sins and we should be sorry, and say it. "Father, I'm so sorry I did this, I know you're disappointed in me. Help me to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Thank you for my forgiveness through Christ. This restores “our” fellowship, not His, because He never went away. Daddy’s hand is always there to wipe your tears away, no matter what His child has done. But as a good father He may choose to chasten you just as the Good Shepherd uses a crook to bring stray sheep back to the fold.  Jesus said He is the Good Shepherd and we are the sheep of His pasture. I believe Jesus used that analogy because sheep aren't very smart, they tend to go astray and get into all sorts of trouble and dangers. But the good Shepherd says these wonderful words, that His "sheep hear My voice" When I'm in sin, I can hear the Shepherd, "Mary, where are you going? No child, come back, you're going to get hurt if you go over there," But dumb sheep that I can be, I go anyway and then He has to get His crook and come after my sorry tail. He promises to return me to the fold, even if it means leaving the 99.....because I belong to the Good Shepherd. Do you see how very personal it is when Jesus said He would even leave all the rest for you? He loves you!
