Brother Eli spoke about Salvation.
1 Timothy 6:17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.
Bro Eli mentioned that Salvation can not be bought by the wealth of the entire world . Wealth and riches cannot attain salvation but the word of God.
Salvation comes only from God. No man can save you. So you must trust in the Lord for salvation.
Jere 17:5: 5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
Titus 1:2:In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.
Matt 7:21:Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven
The hearing of Gods word is the basic foundational path to salvation, after which we apply our faith through believing.
Romans 10:13-15: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Bro Eli mentioned that Salvation is a process and we should consider the following the processes in our journey to get saved.
1)Hearing
2)Who you hear from ( the preacher)
3)The word of God that is been heard ( it must be in line with the Bible.
Understanding. You must understand what you hear so that it can spur faith in you for salvation.
Bro Eli also stated that it is God who gives understanding of his word.
We also need to beware of false teachers as we hear the word of God .
2 Timothy 4:3-4: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
God bless you.
