The fourth cornerstone of our salvation

 

  1. Jesus Christ our Redemption

The fourth integral component for the unification of the body of Christ is to know, understand and believe that Jesus Christ is our redemption. There is no shadow of doubt that the blood is the one and only source of cleansing for we have been duly admonished saying; “For the life of every creature is in the blood, and God has given it to us to make atonement for ourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22).

And so it is, “In Him (Jesus Christ) that we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.’ “And He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ, to put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment - to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ” (Ephesians 1:7-10).

It is knowing, understanding and believing the wisdom of God in a mystery and applying it that will bring unity in the body of Christ because this is what gives us access to the Father and have fellowship with one another and with the Father and the Son as we have been duly instructed saying; “Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread” (1Corinthians 10:14-17).

The crux of the matter is, “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

We have been further admonished saying; “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1John 1:5-10)

Please note carefully that, the cleansing from all sins and all unrighteousness is current denoting that it is a process that takes place during the fellowship service and it is by partaking of the cup of blessing which we bless when partaking of the cup of the New Covenant.

And so, the four cornerstone of our salvation is what we all need to know, understand, believe and rightfully apply that will bring unity in the church the body of Christ which is synonymous to the second establish will of the Father, the reformation and the new and living way to the Father
