The reality of the Lord is self-evident through the tangible evidence of what cannot be seen: the conscience, intelligence, heartfelt emotions, and soulful spirit.
Where "faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith is having confidence in hopes, such as in the God's promise, with things not visible yet very tangible.
We understand the state of our existence: “I think, therefore I am”, I feel, therefore I'm alive, I intuit, therefore I know the state of my existence, positive in holiness or negative in unholy sin.
The good news is that, regardless of the disheveled state of the soul, the spirit can be restored through the process of redemption.
Redemption is necessary to cleanse the soul, re-tuning our soul to the Holy Spirit and returning to a state of grace.
We need to exist in a state of grace because we are called to exist in a state of holiness with the Holy Spirit.
We are “to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-24).
Moreover, when we die in order to see the Lord, see Heaven's Gate and receive salvation, we need to be pure of heart and holy of spirit (Matthew 5: 8, Hebrews 12:14, Psalm 24:3-5).
It is essential to be in a state of grace to receive the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and salvation.
"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12).
The bad news is that not all sins will be forgiven.
"...but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.” (Mark 3:29, Matthew 12:31-32)
Where does the Holy Spirit exist and resides?
The Holy Spirit is everywhere, omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-12). Therefore, the Holy Spirit sees everything and is the unseen witness to every deed and misdeed.
Jesus states that the Holy Spirit lives with you and will be in you (John 14:17).
Not only does the Holy Spirit reside in us, our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3: 16, 1 Corinthians 6:19).
Thus, desecrations to the body are blasphemies against the temple of the Holy Spirit and are unforgivable and extremely unholy and damning.
We know this because the state of spiritual existence and energy of those sinners is extremely negative, unclean and unholy, separated from the Lord, Holy Spirit, humanity and self, and lacking in grace.
Thankfully final judgment is the Lord's.
For the possibility of salvation, the redemption process must be made regardless of whether forgiven by the Lord or not.
Furthermore, regardless of belief, whether saved or not, the final decision is not ours, but the Lord’s.
What is real and really important to our salvation is the current state of our souls, whether it exists in a state of grace, faithful and fruitful of Spirit or not.
How deeply we exist, feel, exemplify, and express love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, defines our present reality and our connection—or disconnection—with the Lord, our original selves, and humanity.
Ultimately, it is through recognizing the living presence of the Holy Spirit, our commitment to spiritual laws, our connection to the Holy Spirit, and our expression of the fruit of the Spirit that will shape our path to salvation and our lives on earth.
In the end, the reality of the Lord, through the living Life of the Holy Spirit, our faithfulness, and holiness in following spiritual laws, our connection with the Holy Spirit, our true selves in the fullness of spirit, and our bond with humanity will ultimately decide our salvation and life on earth.
