Is your body completely saved from the danger of the fire of hell? How to tell if the members of your body were altogether saved? See what the bible said about the members of the body:
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Mat 5:27-29)
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Mat 5:30)
This is a very serious teaching of Jesus not on the unsaved but more so on the saved persons. Just only one small member of the body causes to sin will put the whole body along with the whole being in the danger of the fire of hell. No wonder, many who prophesied, cast out devil and do many wonderful works in the name of Jesus will not enter heaven (Mat 7:21-23). Why? It because of the iniquities they did, such as the wickedness done by their hand and eyes, which is the lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes.
And much iniquity why many will not enter heaven is because of the tongue. James said that the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity an unruly evil, full of deadly poison and no one can tame: that it defiles the whole body and it is set on fire of hell. (Jas Chap. 3)
Therefore, a saved person must always be on the watch to the members of his body which is the hand, eye and particularly the tongue. Lying and boasting (exaggeration) must be put away from the tongue- a very dangerous member of the body. Look at what happen to Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-10)
The Paradox of the Biblical Salvation is all about the continuous saving of oneself (by surpassing the law which is the Ten Commandments) to save the members of the body (hand, eyes, tongue) completely from the danger of the fire of hell.

Work Out Your Salvation
“Work out your salvation” mean only one thing and that is all about the surpassing of the Law which is the Ten Commandments. God requires us to give importance even the least part of the law and surpass them (Mat 5:17-20). And the words’ “surpassing the law” implies the following:
1. Work (surpass the Law) continuously until the “sting of death” which is sin (I hate to do but I do) reigning and dominating in the members of the body were completely removed.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. (Rom 6:12-13)
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Rom 8:13)
2. Work (surpass the Law) continuously until the members of the body (the whole body) is saved from the danger of the fire of hell.
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mar 9:43-48)
3. Work (surpass the Law) continuously until you are saved from the coming judgment that shall begin in the house of God.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (1Pe 4:1718)
Time will come that judgment (in full extent) will begin in the house of God. Just like of what happened to Ananias and Saphira who received a fatal judgment because of lying. On that time all sin hidden and did in secret shall be revealed. Judgments are the means whereby God will purify the church (the Bride) before Christ (the Groom) return.
4. Work (surpass the Law) continuously until the written Word become a personal living Word.
A person who is a hearer of the Word and not a Doer is not saved.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (Jas 1:21-25)
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: (2Co 3:2)
5. Work (surpass the Law) until those “things that must be overcome” were totally overcomes.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. (Rev 2:5)
The seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation are fall short of the glory of God. It is because of the sin they committed they already knew it is sinful and evil. In some form or another they all guilty of transgressing the Law which is the Ten Commandments.
Note: 8 times the word “overcome” and 7 times the word “repent” was mentioned in the book of Revelation. What do you think will happen to those who will not overcome? Who did not repent?

3 Major Changes do by the Law “Now”
There are 3 major changes and transformations that will take place in our whole being (spirit, soul and body) when we “surpass the Law”:
1. Spirit is continually regenerates which gives power for living
Do you oftentimes feel bored and tired to read the Bible, pray, attend church? If you do, you are lack of spiritual life and when you lack spiritual life then you are lack of power. It means your spirit that regenerates by the Spirit of God comes to a death.
If you want your spiritual life to be healthy and alive do not forsake the things of God. Moreover, you must have a determination to surpass the law. If you do, your spirit will become align to the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God gives us the power for living, a kind of living different from the carnal and natural “good person”.
2. Soul which is the mind is being renew daily
Our carnal mind- the mind that is enmity against God and will not ever subject to the law of God (Rom 8:7) must change, reform and renew. Our mind must become the mind of Christ.
When we surpass the Law, we eventually instill or inculcate in our mind the “spiritual law” (the Law “Now”). In other words, we are molding our mind to conform our mind to the mind of God.
3. Body which is the flesh is put to death
Nothing, there’s nothing good lives there. The desire of the body which is the flesh is contrary to the desires of the Spirit. The flesh must be put to a total death. When you feel a craving for fleshly things beware, that is the indication your flesh is still alive to sinful fleshly desires. You might be in danger of the fire of hell. (Mar 9:43-48)
Surpassing the law is the only logical and practical means whereby the flesh can be put to death. The Law “Now” is exactly the way to overcome the works of the flesh. It’s the only and perfect way, because the Law of the Lord is PERFECT (Psa 19:7)

Are You Completely Saved?
Is your hand, eye, and tongue saved from the danger of the fire of hell?
"In the spiritual condition a saved person is completely saved. But as far as the physical condition is concerned there are sin ingrained and deeply rooted and dwelling in the members of the body that must be overcome and be put to death completely".
The sin living and working in the members of the body must be put to death or else hell is awaiting for those who have their members of their body had continually, intentionally and deliberately causing them to sin.
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mar 9:43-48)
If a saved person thinks he is saved and standing firm then he should better be watchful (1Cor 10:12). He must always be in the position to watch out the members of his body that might cause him to sin.
All who claimed they are saved must understand the working of their body. The body works in its lustful desires and wants all fleshly desires. And when the lust had conceive, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (Jas 1:15). The word “death” means “lack of spiritual life”. When the lack of spiritual life had taken place it will manifest as a lack of bible reading, lack of prayer, lack of joy of belonging and lack of serving and worshipping God.
And if a Christian lacks with those essential spiritual things needed for spiritual growth falling back to the former condition is imminent. Sin will become alive again in the members of the body until it will become slave to sin. Sin will again take a domination of the whole body as well as the whole being. Lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh will reign.
The principle of sowing and reaping applies also to the spiritual life of a saved person.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Gal 6:8)
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. (Rom 6:11-13)
Overcoming and putting to death the sin dwelling in the members of the body takes time. And by surpassing the law little by little the sin “I hate to do that I do” will not dominate the members of the body.

Apostle Law #2
“In spiritual realm, we are righteous, holy, perfect, justified, new creation and so on, it is because of the sacrificial works of Christ but in the natural realm or in reality, we are slave to the sin living in the parts of our body (hands, eyes and tongue as well as in the whole body) wherein we must overcome all of it completely”.
Our whole being is consisting of the unseen and that can be seen. One is the spiritual being which cannot be seen. We have no problem in our spiritual being because it was already given complete solution through Christ. By his sacrificial works our spiritual position remained the same, we are holy and righteous in God’s sight even though we sin many times. All of our sin from the past, present and in the future was already paid by Jesus blood.
While on the other side of our being which can be seen problem is not yet resolve. Our physical being or the so called our physical being- the body which is also called the flesh is something a Christian should give himself with much concerns. Because there in the body dwelling sin is actively manifest by the eye, hand and tongue. In those parts of the body sin is alive and kicking. Sin of omission (sin that we should not do such as murder -anger adultery -lustful look, stealing -robbing God , lying -exaggeration is also a form of lying and others sin prohibits by the Ten Commandments) and also the sin of commission (such as not reading the bible, praying and others that we should do but we neglect to do) are the sin dwelling in the parts of the body that must be overcome completely.
Like the Apostle Paul, anyone who is in Christ will experience an inward struggling with sin. He said,” For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. (Rom 7:15-20)
And the Lord Jesus warns that if the eyes and hand causes you to sin it is better to pluck it out or to cut it out that part from your body. It is better, Jesus said, to throw it out those parts of the body so that not your whole body be thrown in hell (Mat 5:29-30). In general, the whole body itself causes us to sin, it makes us lazy to do the things of God and makes us to crave more on its desires such as the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life.
Keep in mind, no “Flesh” and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Cor 15:50). It really means that our body has nothing good lives in there as what Apostle Paul had seen (Rom 7:18).
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. (Rom 6:12-13)
In order that the sin will not reign in our mortal body, we must keep on practicing the Law that Jesus said, “But now I tell you…” (Mat 5:28,32,34,39,44). By keep on practicing the (spiritual) Law which is the Ten Commandments it will form a new pattern in your brain. Once the pattern is formed, it becomes an automatic behavioral response. As you develop new spiritual habits, they will begin to replace worldly and lustful habits that basically of long ago was formed in the mind.
It is all about the Ten Commandments the Lord told and establish by the Apostles in the New Testament which is the only way to transform the mind into the mind of Christ. It is the perfect way because the Law is perfect to renew the mind that will certainly put to death the misdeeds of the members of body.
The body (desires) which is the “flesh” must put to death.
