Chapter Two
Salvation.
What an amazing experience when you are in some form of
trouble and someone saves you from that situation. We usually
don‟t know how to thank that person other than to repay them
with a favour. Well in our case as Christians, we were lost in utter
darkness destined for hell itself, but through the saving grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ we now have eternal life. We will never be
able to pay Him back, and He doesn‟t expect us too. What is
expected is to walk fully in this new bought freedom, and to
shadow the life of Jesus for the world to see.
Understanding Salvation
Adam and Eve were created in the image of God for fellowship
and to enjoy Him forever. But as they disobeyed God, sin entered
and they were defiled in body, soul (mind, will, emotions) and
Spirit.
Throughout the ages there after man‟s effort to cleanse and purify
himself was done through sacrifices. God saw that the only way to
save man was to pay the ultimate price Himself, by sacrificing His
only son. With the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His death and
resurrection, through His blood we have found redemption for our
souls and can walk a road of new birth through the salvation plan
of our Heavenly Father.
We read in
Romans 3:23 we have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
This means we all need to repent and be born again. This can only
be done through accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and
Savior.
