Gloria Copeland — Salvation Through Mercy Part 1
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
One of the things God wants us to know is that
salvation springs forth from His mercy. Our redemption
was conceived, built, carried out and brought into
operation from a mind of mercy. A mind of wrath could
never have provided redemption. It would have destroyed
us and wiped out all mankind, but God was not willing to
destroy any of us.
If God had destroyed Satan, according to spiritual law,
He would have also destroyed all of Satan’s subjects. Death
would have flowed from the devil to all who served him.
And sadly, the devil is god over a lot of people.
Jesus came down on Satan’s level (where we were) in
order to bring us redemption from Satan’s authority. He
had to come down to us. When Adam bowed his knee to
an alien spirit, he made Satan his god and gave him his
crown. Adam subjected himself to Satan.
Ephesians 2:1-4 says:
And you hath he quickened (or made alive), who
were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time
past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the
air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience: among whom also we all had our
conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as
others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great
love wherewith he loved us, even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved).
