Salvation Sprouts Infused In Righteousness

From the Pastor: Dr. M. J. Seymour, Sr.

“Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open and letthem bring forth salvation and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.” (Is. 45:8) (*notice the four “let” of Heaven’s Salvation)

I would be a misconception to think that the word “let” carries the thought or sense of “allow.” The word “let” is actually part of the verbs and coming from single Hebrew words. It does not render the words in the perception of allowing; rather it incorporates the command form of the words. Thus, God commands: “skies pour down!”, “earth open!”, “bring forth salvation!”, and “righteousness spring up together.” All of God’s creative acts never have a hint of “would you like to,” or “allow it to” as if something or someone is restrain it from happening. These are commands just as in Genesis 1:3 – “Let there be light.” God does not need to request allowances.

As the heavens drop down the skies are ordered to pour down righteousness towards the earth. The earth is then ordered to open itself up to receive that righteousness. The earth is again ordered; this time it is order to “bring forth” or “bear forth the fruit” salvation. However, it is also commanded that while it is bearing forth the fruit of salvation, it is to sprout up righteousness infused with that fruit of salvation. They are to be so intertwined as to be inseparable. The heavenly wrought fruit of salvation cannot exist without righteousness, and godly wrought righteousness cannot exist without salvation. God has created it by command to be so sealed.

Saving salvation is infused with the righteousness of Christ. It is impossible to separate them. Righteous salvation sprouts forth from these dead bodies by the sovereign eternal command of the Father. There is absolutely no human intervention in this matter. It is not a choice of man to allow or to disallow, for man has no say in the heavenly creative work of God, including the creative birth of the new man sprouting forth in salvation infused in righteousness.
