It was not good
That man be alone
He would need
A helpmate
To bring to fruition
What was not
But now is
The generation
Of Jesus Christ
Sin gives rise
To salvation
Genesis 2:18
“It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.”
Art: The Formation of Eve by Ed Suominen
I drew water from his well
I drank from the cup of salvation
The well is the word of God
And the cup is my portion
Psalms 116:13
“I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.”
Psalm 119:57
“Thy art my portion, O Lord, I have said that I would keep thy words.”
We are all going to die,
Physically,
That is our fate
But what we do
Between now and then
Is our destiny
Salvation
Through revelation
Is our destination
We have arrived
I Peter 1:9-10
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you.”
I Peter 1:13
“…and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
Everything God made
Was good
And then sin entered
His creation
But it was all part
Of the plan of salvation
To save the sinner
Through revelation
St. John 1:3
“All things were made by him, and without him was anything made that was made.”
Genesis 3:7
“And the eyes of them both were opened…”
Salvation
Is the revelation
Of Jesus Christ
I Peter 1:9-13
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you…and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
The sword of the Spirit
Cuts through lies
To expose the truth
It destroys the ego
And at the same time
Brings the Spirit to life
Hebrews 4:12
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…”
Ephesians 6:17
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
She chose death
For death to her
Was life to Christ
No sin
No savior
No story
She was only
Doing her part
In God’s plan
Of salvation
Genesis 3:3
“Ye shall not eat it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”
Matthew 16:25
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, will find it.”
I was covered
By the grace of God
And at the same time
The Word of God
Awakened
And moved within me
Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace are ye saved through faith…”
I Peter 1:10
“Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you…”
It is not the end
Of the world
It is the end
Of the illusion
The end of lies
It is the end
Of our faith
The salvation
Of our souls
When the truth
Of who we are
Comes to light
I Peter 1:9
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls”
Our salvation
Is the revelation
Of Jesus Christ
Acts 4:12
“Neither is there salvation in any other…”
