Why are we salving and salvaging?
We are salving and salvaging because our lives have capsized
into the sea of death while wounds acquired from the peril of Adamaic sin which
Satan devised to separate man from God and gain control over man and his new
kingdom: Earth after being kicked out of heaven. (Rev 12:7-12). He made our
ancestors disobey by deceiving them to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of
good and evil. We were rendered dead in the eyes of the Lord and in reality.
We are salving and salvaging the lost love of God among
ourselves and our environment. Though, such torment and tribulation face us
mankind, God, full of love, grace and mercy, had to salve and salvage us first
by using Himself, God the Son, to conquer death and all our fears of unsalvaged
shipwrecked lives (i.e. aspects of our lives where we have no control of).
Christ salved and salvaged us to confirm that there is nothing is impossible
with God (Matt 19:26 and Luke 1:37) Salving and salvaging was marvelous mystery
which angels are looking into it, unknown to them, though, they are at the
heavenly presence of God with unlimited knowledge concerning all things.
