The 'Iceberg' ot Total Salvation

As most people know any iceberg they see, is the smaller part of the whole.

Such is the view of Salvation.

Most only see Christ's Death, Burial, and Resurrection as the total sum of the Plan of Salvation.

What they fail to see is the rest of the Plan of Salvation, which is even more vital, than at first glance.

Romans 5:10 tells us so........
5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

After all, Did Jesus just come and die so we are all saved, and that's it ?

What was HE doing for 3 1/2 years BEFORE that ?

He was teaching.....and living a Godly life, as an example for the believer in HIM, to follow.......
1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

I find VERY FEW in the Christian world, actually study what Jesus said and did.

The Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John ....should be studied daily, for years, UNTIL everything is memorized.

Remember that the Titanic was sunk by the an iceberg.
The Titanic (being the idea) of Christ's Death, Burial, and Resurrection being the total sum of Salvation.
