THE GOSPEL OF INCLUSION

This is to follow up on the earlier blog post made a couple of weeks ago about the lost in Luke 15 where Jesus Christ says using a parable that He will seek those who are lost because they BELONG to Him; remember I said that something cannot be lost unless it belongs, we say a child is lost when reported missing because that child belongs to his or her parents and if he or she is not home when expected then the parents will go out to find him/her.

Consider the parable of the lost sheep- Isaiah 53;6 says ALL we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.this off-course refers to Christ who bore all our iniquity on the cross thus cancelling out what Adam did in the garden of Eden and therefore making all of humanity righteous 1 cor 15:22 states that as all people were made dead by Adam even so all people will be made alive in Christ, some Christians apparently do not believe this as evidenced by much of what is taught from our pulpits whereby one is taught that if he/she does the right things or believes in the right things then he/she will have eternal life, well that is not true; the verse in Corinthians states that because of ONE MAN all were dead and now because of ONE MAN all have been given life, notice that you and I were not involved in any of this, we did not do bad works to become sinners, instead we became sinners because of Adam and neither did we do good works to become righteous but instead we became righteous because of Christ and now what we believers who are ambassadors of the Lord should do is to proclaim this glorious truth that Christ is victorious over Adam and that He has become the NEW ADAM in which all of humanity has its identity in Him.

Let this glorious gospel sink in us and manifest itself in our lives through love for others for the Holy Spirit came to reveal Jesus who is the love of the Father, all of us have the heavenly Father who loves us through His Son, why? because we are now the body of His Son and this is the core message of the gospel of inclusion since all have been included, all have been found, NO ONE is lost anymore since Christ has redeemed us through His shed blood and reconciled everything to the Father. Amen.
