Process of Salvation – Part 1 (Open Letter pages 34-35).

Behold, the complete Salvation has three stages. Because we sinned in our tripartite being, spirit, soul and body, therefore, each part must be saved, renewed, re-created separately. That is also why You had to suffer and die in spirit, soul and body! You, Lord, first died in spirit (Mt.27:46, where death means “separation from God”), then in soul (Mt.27:50) and then in body. That is why we are first renewed, re-created in our spirit, then in our soul and then in our body. That is the complete Grand Salvation! Blessed be Your Beautiful Name, O Lord of Grace and Glory!

Salvation equals Renewal, Re-creation. At our conversion, only our spirit is reborn, renewed, re-created – NOTHING ELSE! Our soul and body remained as before, untouched as to their renewal. Ecstasy in our soul, physical healing in our body that may have accompanied our spiritual rebirth – do not constitute the renewal of soul and body! But after our spiritual rebirth, also our soul is to be renewed, re-created and, finally, our body will be renewed, re-created, which is commonly called “resurrection”.

The first stage – spirit, and the third stage – body, are free re-creations, they are gifts from our God the Father without any price tag. The second stage – soul, is very costly, the oil in the vessel must be bought! (Mt.25:9). The price is – our old life!

Now, the new spiritual man in these Christians – the Overcomers of the third group – has not only grown up as he began to cause the soul to be healed from blindness and deafness and over-all paralysis and as the mind began to be slowly renewed, that soul was, as it were, “discharged from that hospital” into a glorious freedom. He began to see what only the Spirit can show and what our physical eyes cannot possibly see. He began to hear the Spirit, touch the Spirit, understand the Spirit, even smell the fragrances of the Spirit … and much later he even began to OBEY the Spirit. Well, is that so, Lord? You know it is so. But who can truly understand and believe all this and appreciate all this except the one whom You brought thus far?

I sincerely praise You, Lord Christ Jesus, and I lack words to express my true thankfulness; for in Your Grace, Love and Patience You have brought me thus far! That is why I can write about it, and that is why I testify about it even by this letter.
