What Type Of People Does Jesus Save? by live4dgospel(m): 5:22pm On May 15, 2021
John 9:41

"Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains."

And He said again in Matthew 9:12-13

"When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

What type of people does the Lord say He would save? He saves those who realise they are masses of sins. They are the people who know about their sinful nature and seek His salvation that has been revealed through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Jesus the Son of David will have mercy on those who realise that they are drowning in an ocean of sins and seek His redemption. The arrogant people who think they stand while in reality they are being driven by the current of this world's sins will be rejected by God.
Those who do not realise their evil self cannot even look up to God for mercy because they think they don't need a physician.

We look for a physician when we realise we are sick, in the like manner only those who realise they are sinners can seek the perfect salvation that has been given to the world through the Triune God.

I ask you, who do you think you are? Do you think you are sinless because people commend you, commend your church and pastors? Have you come to realise that you are just an evil tree bearing all kinds of sins every now and then?

Humans are such that once there is a slightest opportunity they will inevitably commit sin. Everyone pretends to be good until an occasion for sin appears, they will change colour like chameleons and fall into sin and they will put blame on others for their sins just like Adam blamed Eve and Even blamed the serpent.

When human beings commit sins, what do they do? They try to cover their sins with their own righteousness. Just the way Adam and Even covered their unclothedness with fig leaves when they fell into sin. But God wants to expose our sins and help us just the way He helped Adam and Eve by passing their sins to the head of an animal, and killed the animal and covered their unclothedness with the tunics of skin made from this animal.(Genesis 3:21)

No one truly wants to be saved on GOD's terms (because we are incapable), rather they prefer their own works!

"You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways. You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—In these ways we continue; And we need to be saved. But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away. And there is no one who calls on Your name, Who stirs himself up to take hold of You; For You have hidden Your face from us, And have consumed us because of our iniquities." - Isaiah 64:5-7

"What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy." - Romans 9:14-16

The Lord JESUS, the CHRIST specifically came to die in the place of all whom He saved/s over the course of this world's history. If He did not lay down His life as payment for our sins, we would have to pay - and the price for sin is death of the body on this earth and especially the soul in the lake of fire!

Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die." - Ezekiel 18:4

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23

"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” - John 10:17-18

"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." - John 15:13
