What is it necessary to be saved (Part 25).

19 – The testimony of the Creator in our lives (this can be considered I continuation of the item “Grace”):

•    “And *they overcame* him by the blood of the Lamb, and by *the word of their testimony*; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Revelation  12:11).
•    “And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have *the testimony of Jesus*: worship God: for *the testimony of Jesus* is the spirit of prophecy.”  (Revelation  19:10).

It comes the question: what is the testimony of the Creator that save us?

•    “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, *that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son*. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” (1 John  5:9-12).

Our life needs to be a testimony that Jesus is alive (see Acts 4.13) and that His word is alive and efficacious (1Peter 5.1-4 – see 1Tim 3.15).

Even more: we have to receive the testimony of the Creator in us, to wit, His eternal life, namely, Jesus Christ.

Understand: it isn’t us trying to impart good witness (imitation never is equal to the original), but it is us receiving the Eternal Life in us and letting Him, the true witness, (Rev 3.14), express the Creator’s image precisesly (Heb 1.3; 1John 1.14,18) and reveal the Father through His face (2Cor 4.6). This is the spirit of prophecy (Rev 19.14) and what will allow people to be made into a new creature (it is the permanent contact with Jesus that will purify us and make us fit to be used exclusively by Him – Ezek 19.5,6; Exo 19.6; 1Cor 7.12-14; 2Cor 3.18; John 15.9).

In other words: we need to receive Jesus’ life (His strength, love, feeling, thoughts, will, plans, word) so that our testimony of life can be like a seal that mark deeply the heart of people the circumscribe us (see Exo 13.16; Isa 20.2,3; Eze 24.24; Isa 8.16).

So, have a splendid day denying your life (see Matthew 10.39; Luke 9.23; 14.26,27) so that the Eternal Life can make your life new from now.
