At the height of the GREAT TRIBULATION, God sends an angel proclaiming the ETERNAL GOSPEL in Revelation 14:6. What is the content of that Gospel? ETERNAL SALVATION IS TIED TO BOWING BEFORE THE TRUE CREATOR. Who is He? God the Eternal, the Infinite and Sufficient One steps into the Universe that began at His command to exist. He states the origin, purpose, and destiny of all the Cosmos and we humans who ever lived in 7 Hebrew words that translate into 10 English words. What does that mean? ETERNAL SALVATION IS TIED TO BOWING BEFORE THE TRUE CREATOR But what kind of a Being is God? Intelligent? Look at the plan of nature. Powerful? Consider the multiplied millions of galaxies in space. Personal? We can only know Him if He communicates with us. But has God communicated with us? Yes! He has taken on humanity by becoming the man Jesus Christ, whose life is recorded in the Bible. And He has revealed to us, in a life identifiably human and unmistakably divine, that the true nature of God is love. Two things are always true about love: love always desires the best for the one who is loved, and love expresses itself in giving. This is how the Bible states it: "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." In spite of this love, in spite of this gift, in spite of this offer of eternal life, there is a barrier between man and God--man's refusal to acknowledge God's prior claim to his life. Man is self-centered instead of God-centered, and the Bible identifies this as rebellion and calls it sin. Furthermore, the Bible declares that 'the wages of sin is death. But God offers a solution in the gift of His Son, whose death on the cross paid the penalty for man's sin and rebellion. God went to the limit. Now comes your part. Are you willing to admit that God is right when He says you have rebelled? Do you recognize your need for a personal relationship with God? Trust God that He will forgive you and give you eternal life because Jesus took the penalty for your sins. Accept the Bible's invitation, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. The Bible also says "if you confess with your mouth 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, you will be saved. It continues by saying, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. As you listen to me, simply speak to God, tell Him you want to change the direction of your sinful life, and receive the offer of His gracious gift of Christ's death in your place and for your sins! He will and you will know your Creator!

God Says Humility is the Pathway to Spiritual Maturity 1 Peter 5:5-6 (NKJV) Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, The second choice on the pathway to spiritual maturity after submissiveness is humbleness. God will always resist pride in any form in our lives because He hates pride (Proverbs 6:16-17; 8:13). God desires us to clothe ourselves with humility. The only medication that defeats pride is grace. The only pathway to that grace is submissiveness. Grace enables us to clothe ourselves with humility. The evidence of the grace of submission is when we submit humbly to one another. Submission is very hard because it requires that we trust God more than ourselves. When we entrust ourselves to God He allays our fears. The “mighty hand of God” that we humbly submit to is able to take care of anyone and anything around us, better than we ever could. Notice God tells us to “be clothed with humility”. The verb clothed spoke of the tied-on action a slave took when coming to serve. It is also amazingly reflective of Christ's actions at the Last Supper. In the midst of all the proud hearts, Jesus humbly served the dirty-footed, proud-hearted disciples by lovingly tying on the apron of the slave. So we are to take His attitude that we are never above serving anyone, and with that humble attitude securely tied onto us, we go out reflecting Christ’s love. Pause and ask yourself, when is the last time you consciously tied on Christ's apron of humbly serving others? Is that a daily attitude? Is it your desire to reflect Christ in this way?
