TRUE SALVATION CHANGES OUR WHOLE WORLD 2

 The issue for those world view is warfare is not what is right and wrong for its own sake, not truth, but they are caught at and how they can benefit. Eye service remains the life style of such people and appeasement of anger of the one they perceive as the threat, rather than repentance. Along with this comes a type of old testament culture of sacrifice and works, which is the culture of animism. They have religion of works, of overcoming by long prayers and fasting and all night, battling against spiritual forces. People think God is like a man who is satisfied with gifts and will then show favour. This has nothing to do with New creation life. In the new creation God is appeased by the blood of his son. All he requires from us is that we love him and do what is right.

TRUE SALVATION

 When we come to christ we cannot bring our former view into Christianity. If we continue in a Satan-centric view of salvation. That jesus came to give us victory over Satan. Then we will carry over the same animistic values into our christian life. In essence there will be no transformation of life. Character and culture. This is how many can be in the church but the people and the city will not change. We need a biblical word-view, not only on sundays but in everything we do. That affect our whole life style. Ou can go to a christian church that believes God’s word on sundays and then go to a deliverance center to here a soul called prophet who promises you safe delivery in birth on another day. The problem is that you still have two world views biblical theology has not yet permeated your whole life. 

THE WORD

  “Wherefore shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not seen against thee. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my part(psalm 119:9,11:105). That simply means to be full of the word of God is to be full of God. The word is God. The word is spirit and life.

THE REASON FOR BIBLE STUDY

  We must remember that one of the primary purpose of bible study is to change our lives, not just increase our knowledge! You have not truly studied the bible until you have applied it yourself scripture tells that God wants us to be “doers of the world and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (James 1:21). Therefore make one of the application of truth one of your main goals in studying the bible. The bible is a vast store house of inexhaustible riches already given to us by God. If the universe the word of god is eternal

THE WORD OF GOD IS LIFE

 Your word is a lamp unto my feet is like fire in our bones.

  In animism power is what works. What you can get away with any deception. There is no truth, but how something affects you is what matters in animism truth is determined by the effect of something has on you. Whether it prospers you. And not by whether it is true in itself. This is why someone can call themself christian and cheat in examination and at the market. Christian soteriology says no power will deliver you. Nobody gets to heaven by power. People only go to heaven when jesus sets them free from sin and death by a gift of grace. In christainity  truth is what God says it is. It does not change.

  We should not have a satan centred sotcriology means the study of salvation and deliverance. The first aspect of soctriology haS TO DO WITH SIN, NOT TO DO WITH SATAN. We are saved from satan because we are saved from sin. Jesus came to save us from our sin . that is. The problem was sin. Not the devil. Jesus dealing with the devil was secondary, not the primary issue. In animism and in native theology satan is the primary issue This makes appeasement of spirits. Power, fear and manipulation, the main issue is religion. Rather than truth, honesty and faith
