Salvation – God’s salvation – attends to the whole man — body, soul, and spirit. God is our Maker. We do well saying, “Make it a good day.”
We seize opportunities, search for them, and make wise choices, and mix love into every zone we can. But life, this soon-ending-life, is an interim between a past we never experienced and a future that never ends.
We are situated in an interim. Here we are asked by Savior-God, “Would you be made whole?” Only the Maker can make one whole. In this interim we call our life we must make our choice. We will die. We are surely not holy. We cannot “make” our self holy. We must enter eternity. “Come as you are,” cites death. “Come unto Me,” cites Savior-God.
“In My house are many mansions,” says He. “I go to prepare a place for you that where I am you may be also.”
Will we “surrender” our uncertainty for His assurance?
Will we be honest to ourselves that we have made sin choices and that “what goes around” must “come around” —- will we let our sin find us out?
Would we not like to be divinely forgiven, become close to the only revealed God who promises to keep us safe? “Father, deliver us from evil,” He taught us to pray. “Keep them from the evil,” He prayed for us.
Surely the only true Maker can “make” this be our destiny – can “save” us safely. And in His word we see that He wills that every one of us be changed into the likeness of His earth-born Son. Then alone, will we have been fitted for heaven — “made” by our Maker – His Sons.
