1Pe 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
'The word te???, (Transliteration: Telos) end, is often used so as to imply the issue or reward of any labor or action.' - Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible.
The reward of your faith.
The reward that comes at the culmination of our faith.
Salvation!
Saved from sin!
Reunited with God, no longer separated from Him by sin.
Saved!
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
SAVED!
SALVATION!
To be saved-
(Strong's Dictionary)
--to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.
Delivered.
Healed.
Preserved.
Made whole.
Joh 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
The Savior of the world!
The Deliverer!
The Redeemer!
If we ENDURE to the END we will be SAVED.
The END of our FAITH is our SALVATION.
For one moment I want you to think about something- WHAT HARM COMES FROM HAVING FAITH IN OUR SAVIOR?
Seriously… believing in Jesus Christ as your Savior causes what harm?
The harm comes in when people THINK they are believing in Jesus Christ and then set about trying to force their beliefs on others. I emphasized THINK they are believing because they are deceived into believing they follow the true Savior when the truth is the true Savior would NEVER force anyone to believe in HIM, NEVER. They may call their Savior by the same name as the true Savior, but underneath that name they've created a god of their own devising.
The truth of our SAVIOR is love, pure love without any force.
Yes, our Savior OUT of His love desires obedience from His Creatures and that obedience He desires is pure love. The commandments, the moral commandments He's given us are commandments of the PUREST LOVE.
No where in any of the commandments does it read … thou shalt force others to believe in me.
We are commanded as INDIVIDUALS to obey the LORD and His commands, and those commands are love realized, love actualized.
Remember this--
Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
LOVE.
LOVE GOD.
LOVE OTHERS.
The first four moral commands focus on our LOVE of GOD.
The last six moral commands focus on our LOVE of OTHERS.
Having FAITH, believing in Our God, our Savior, One who is pure love and longs to give us this same pure love, HARMS NO ONE! Why is it silly, stupid, horrible to believe in LOVE that way? That LOVE threatens EVIL, it's DESTROYED EVIL'S ultimate desire. And EVIL HATES that LOVE and wants it completely destroyed. That EVIL will do all it can to make having FAITH in GOD seem EVIL, to seem wrong, to be stupid, unenlightened, prejudice, and so on. That EVIL has successfully corrupted the minds of millions and millions and millions to outright think that GOD'S LOVE through HIS SON JESUS CHRIST is evil. That EVIL has successfully corrupted millions and millions and millions into believing in their OWN idea of the God of LOVE, and therefore believing in a false god. That EVIL will have the majority of people on its side when our SAVIOR returns.
PLEASE LORD LET US BE ON YOUR SIDE! LET US LOVE AND BE LOVED BY YOU! LET US KNOW AND BE KNOWN BY YOU! ALL THROUGH YOUR MERCY, YOUR GRACE, YOUR LOVE, YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS! ALL THROUGH ALL THAT IS YOU- the GOD WHO IS LOVE!
IN YOU!
Be the END of our FAITH- OUR SALVATION.
