Exodus 34:
5 ¶ And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The
LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness
and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression
and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's
children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Now that you are in Christ, the Bible says in 2Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new.
You are now under new covenant or legal system.
You are now under new obligation and expectations.
In the advent of early believers, the journey of knowing the mind of
the Lord was a long painstaking one. Many senior believers like Apostle
Peter had a lot of difficulties in understanding the plan and purpose
of salvation. It was not their fault, since it was the plan of God as
ordained in:
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the
book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased. (KJV).
However, with the advent of information age as prophesized in the
scripture above and increasing persecution of the gospel globally
overtly and subtly by secularism and modernization, church ministry is
fast losing its popularity unlike industrial age era.
Hence there is need to help new believers be informed of the
fundamentals of the salvation plan and purpose of God, especially as it
relates to end time events.
This guide attempts to weave together relationship and mix of
process, procedures and various concepts within the salvation plan of
God.
The intention is in fulfillment of the prophecies of Daniel 12:4 and
Matthew 24:14. So that new believers no longer have to wait for lengthy
painstaking years before fully understanding the plan and purpose of
God for their lives.
