Ephesians 2:1 to 22 One of the great illusions in today's gospel is the idea of "easy salvation." Many Christians do not understand that, because of sin, we are all dead and need to be resurrected to be able to ascend with Christ. Thus, many get used to serving God by doing the minimum, without realizing that in this way they will not achieve salvation, nor will they ascend with Christ. At Christ's return, those He will come to seek will be His priests throughout the thousand-year period that comprises the Apocalypse. In other words, to be able to ascend with Christ, it is necessary to prepare yourself as a priest, or in current times, as a Bishop or Pastor.
