Chance of Salvation over Time and Space

You can recall what you thought abut 2 minutes ago.  You can recall what you were doing 2 hours ago.  You can remember what was going on 2 days ago.  You can remember what you planned 2 weeks ago.  You can remember what your family was doing 2 months ago.  You must be able to evoke the situations surrounding you, your family, your friends and your colleagues 2 years ago.  You must be able to call up what important things happened in your community and society 2 years ago.  You must be able to call to mind what critical things occurred in your nation 20 years ago.  You must be able to look back to what decisive things occurred in the world 200 years ago.  And you have to recapture what God allowed to happen among the human beings 2000 years ago.

I mean that the historical fact that Christ Jesus emerged in the human world is linked to your presence in the community of your country at this moment of today in this month of this year in this century of this second millennium.

In other word, you are connected in seamless manners to Christ Jesus beyond any geological conditions and over time.

And what is the most important is that hundreds of millions or more of learned and pious people have believed or could not deny that Christ Jesus was the Son of God.

So absolutely, the power, the dignity, and the glory of the Son of God must cover you beyond any geological conditions and over time.

Accordingly, effect of the love and anger of God should cover you.  However, if you do not have ability to sense it, you had better think of what you are.

If you can see the bright light shining and coming to you from far away geologically and in terms of time, say, over 2000 years, you may have a chance of salvation by Christ Jesus.

Lu:8:28: When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
Lu:8:29: (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
Lu:8:30: And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

"John the Baptist: but some say, Elias" - Accumulate Wealth in Heaven

Accumulate Wealth in Heaven

It was 2000 years ago that Christ Jesus lived in Palestine. 

However, people living today did not even live 200 years ago.  And they will not surely live 200 years later.  Yet, nobody feels fear if they find that they did not live 200 years ago, although they may be afraid that they cannot live 200 years later.

Or for most people, they will not even live 100 years later, and when they think of it, they may be afraid that their death will surely come within 100 years.  But nobody would feel fear when they find that they did not exist and live 100 years ago.

Before the birth of anybody, the world existed and history was going on.  And, nobody feels fear that they did not exist, say, 100 years ago.  But when they think that they will not live and exist 100 years later, which means that they will die within 100 years, they may feel fear. 
 
The only solution to this fear is that God can give eternal life to believers.

From the beginning, why don't people feel fear when finding that they did not exist, say, 100 yeas ago?  But they are surely afraid that they will die within 100 years.

People do not feel fear knowing that there was the world even before they were born.  But they would feel fear thinking that they will die sooner or later while the world is going on.

Before people were born, they did not exist in this world.  After they die, they will not exist in this world.  It is as if people were going from nothing to nothing or from naught to naught, and going for no purposes.

However, Christ Jesus said to accumulate and keep wealth in Heaven but not in this world where wealth gets rotten.  It must mean that there is a chance to enjoy wealth in Heaven after death.  And the purpose of life in this world is to accumulate and keep wealth in Heaven.

To have faith in Christ Jesus is to believe this teaching.  However, wealth and treasure meant here should not be material, since Heaven is not material.  And life people will be given in Heaven must not be material, too.
