Who Then Shall Be Saved is a reflective biblical teaching that confronts the question of eternal destiny and the cost of following Christ. Drawing from Matthew 19:25, the message explains that salvation is impossible by human effort but made possible through God’s grace and obedience to His Word. It warns against spiritual complacency, hypocrisy, and conformity to worldly standards, while emphasizing the narrow path that leads to life. The teaching calls believers to depend fully on divine grace, align their lives with God’s will, and respond to the truth of Christ so they may be counted worthy of salvation.
Matthew 19:25 (When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?)
This is a question in the mind of most people in Christianity, they couldn’t answer but reverted to a state of spiritual lethargy that makes them not aspire to grow in faith and end up living a hypocritical life.
Disciples of Jesus Christ were amazed when Jesus told them the criteria for entering heaven, and at the time, he said that it would be difficult for the rich to enter heaven with all their wealth.
Maybe the apostles might be thinking that the rich are not included in the program of eternity if they can use their wealth to bribe their way.
But Jesus Christ made a surprise that the camels can even pass through the needle’s eye more than the rich to enter the kingdom of God.
What do you also think within yourself after listening to the messages of holiness and some people’s testimony of Hell, and the sin that takes one there?
Have you not asked yourself that question, how will you make heaven in this situation?
No wonder some people will say, “it’s only heaven that knows who will be saved and continue in their way of wickedness by not considering the will of heaven in their characters.
It is the only true spirit that has the answers, given in the word, that with God, all things are possible. With man, it may be difficult, but with God, it is possible.
Therefore, don’t ever think you can make heaven without God’s grace.
God has supplied his grace without measure to those who are aspiring to make heaven and do the will of their creator.
It depends on your side to make a decision and let the host of heaven back you up.
When you see the way sin is abounding in our world and the way the love of men towards God is growing cold, you will want to relax that after all, you are not the only one living, and you’re not the one who killed Jesus Christ, how should you act differently from others who are also Christians like you? Then you forget the judgment of God on sin and his relationship toward sinners.
Narrow is the gate that leads to heaven, but wide is the gate that leads to destruction. Don’t think you love destruction more than life, that is why you shouldn’t live like others who are moving towards hell.
Who shall be saved?
God gave us the law to follow in his word. Great are the publishers of it; the bible is given that will lead us to divine presence and live in divine will. Anything done outside the word is doing things against his will.
God gave whoever is for him the grace to excel where others failed, the grace to live in his will, where the world goes astray after the devil, to live in the dictates of the flesh.
If you always have this thought, it means you’re asking for divine intervention in your spiritual man. It shows you can’t do it alone because by the flesh shall no man prevail,” but need divine assistance to scale through the life journey.
Jesus Christ answered his disciples, he will answer you too with his presence and be there also to comfort and bring way where there seems to be no way.
God knows that no one can make heaven without his assistance; that is why he sent his only begotten son to the world to show the way. In him is the truth and the life of every man living.
All men are unclean from birth, it’s God’s word that brings purification. The more you read and meditate, the more your spiritual eyes are opened to see your wretchedness, and the more you align your life according to the word of God, the more your soul gets liberated and your light shines brighter towards redemption.
Jesus Christ addresses the problem of the rich man according to his word, but he failed to align with the divine will and missed the purpose of heaven for his life.
The rich ruler rejected the offer of Jesus Christ to make heaven, he would have understood by now.
He is still saying the same thing to the world, giving them the same criteria he told the rich man, it’s only the wise that will understand the voice of wisdom and will not miss his way.
Jesus Christ is not trying to scare you but wants to put you through by telling you the truth that’ll lead to your freedom, so in the end you won’t say, “Oh, had I known “.
Prayer: Father lord, count me worthy with those whom you will have mercy upon and be saved, in Jesus’ name, amen.
