Every messenger of God would now point to that promise of Salvation. Before the Crucifixion drama all Divine Revelation from God pointed forward to that day when Messiah would come and redeem man; but for the last 2000 years every messenger and Divine Revelation from God has been pointing back to Calvary. Salvation, not for the Devil's children, but for all God's children, would be according to their faith in What Christ would accomplish for them in His death, burial and resurrection. Every Messenger is charged with the responsibility of leading the true sons and daughters of God in the way of true Salvation, as opposed to Satan, through his messengers leading millions down the path of false religion and the end thereof are the ways of death (Proverbs 14:12).
In working out (by Grace) our own Salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12) before God we must remember that the "tree of knowledge of good AND evil" is still in the garden of God, tempting us to "add to" or "take away" from the whole Word of the Lord. As we continue in our study of the subject of Salvation, keep in mind that "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).
Zacharias, the father of John The Baptist, prophesied of his son's future ministry saying.....
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins. Luke 1:76
John the Baptist was sent to point the people in the right direction - to give knowledge of Salvation... NOT according to a church creed or a human conception of things, but according to the Word of God. In Jeremiah 3:15 God said, "I will give you pastors according mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Unfortunately, this is not the case with MOST modern pulpits today. After YEARS of church-going MOST church-goers never mature in their knowledge of God; nor do they "grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ" (2nd. Peter 3:18).
The religious people of the world are more content with a "form of godliness" - some dry and starchy, some emotional and sensational; but they don't want the "whole" Word. Modern intellectual preaching has made the Word of non-effect to the people. They are led to believe that what the Bible calls sin isn't sin anymore.
Make no wonder, in Revelation 3:14-22 Jesus described this last day church in these words: "thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked - and don't know it!" Very few ministries are "calling out against sin". They are condemned by the words of Isaiah 5:20: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;" They're eating of the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" and don't know it.
Failing to check everything with the whole Word of God, millions [like Eve] have allowed the Devil to deceive them into thinking that they're Christians when they're not. They're "willfully blind" to the fact that "Christian" means "Christ-like". And all TRUE professing Christians are "pressing toward the mark of "Christ-likeness" (Philippians 3:14) in their daily lives.
If through weakness or temptation they stumble and fall, they do not seek to justify their failure; but rather they keep looking to the prize of the high-calling of God in Christ and get up and keep pressing into the Kingdom of God. In their hearts they have a burning desire to be more like Christ. They're pressing into a "Full" Salvation, a more full and complete victory over the world, the things of the world and the Devil. 1st. John 2:15 says, "Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
In Hebrews 10:39 it is written: "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." The Christian NEVER stands still in his relationship with God.

WOMAN AND HER 7 YEARS OLD SON!
A woman and her 7 years old son were inside a Taxi. It was raining and all the RUNS girls were standing by the ROADSIDE waiting for CUSTOMERS!
The Boy asked; “Mummy, what are all those women doing?.” His Mother replied; “They are waiting for their husbands to come back from work.”
The Taxi driver turned around and said; “Why don’t you tell him the truth?. Little boy, they are prostitutes, they sleep with men for money.”
The Boy’s eyes got wide and asked; “Mummy is that true?” His mother, glaring hard at the driver replied;
“Yes.!!”
After a few minutes, the boy asked; “Mummy, what happens to the babies those women have?.” She replied;
