Nothing to Fear

As believers, we are eternally justified and sanctified, rendering us new creations in Christ and eliminating any need to fear our failings, as both new and mature Christians are equally valued and saved in the eyes of God. Our earthly bodies and their shortcomings will not define our spiritual identity or hinder our ultimate redemption, which remains secured by the Holy Spirit, transcending beyond the grave.

The teachings discuss the prophecy of a suffering servant who bears humanity's griefs, sorrows, and iniquities, emphasizing a sacrificial redemption narrative where through affliction and sacrifice, many are justified and reconciled with God. This servant's role culminates in offering their soul for sin, ensuring spiritual empowerment and eternal life for believers who accept and grow in the Christian faith, ultimately receiving a resurrected body fit for the presence of God.

The teaching emphasizes that believers are fully saved by faith from the moment they accept Christ, and further spiritual growth does not increase salvation but leads to greater rewards as they allow God to reign in their lives. Although living by faith and overcoming the flesh does not enhance God's love or reduce punishment, it distinguishes believers from non-believers and those who live by the flesh versus those who grow from glory to glory.
