Salvation

Salvation is defined as 1) being saved or protected from harm 2) or being saved or delivered from some dire situation 3) In religion, salvation is stated as the saving of the soul from sin and its consequences. Salvation is a gift that we can receive from Jesus Christ. When we come to know Jesus and ask Him for forgiveness of our sins, it is done. At that moment, the Holy Spirit fills us and we desire to live accordingly with the commandments in the Bible. But I feel before any of this takes place, a person will have a change within the heart. Psalm 51:17, David speaks of his own broken and contrite heart. At the moment of salvation, our hearts will be broken. We will be humbled. Why? At that moment we will realize exactly how vile we are. We will see that we do not deserve the glory of God, but much worse. Not only that, but we will also realize the great price that Jesus paid for our sin. Sins that He did not commit. He suffered and died an unspeakable death to save a world that mostly hated Him. He was sent as a model for followers of God, sinless, humbled, PERFECT. He did what none of us can do, follow God's commandments without swaying, even to the point of death. That's why He did it!! To pay for all of our sins because He knew we could not follow the model that Jesus set. Today, I am so thankful He did. With salvation, we can live a life free of shame from our past. When we come to a point in our life where there has to be a change, maybe we hit rock bottom, or maybe just need better direction, we can call on Him. Jesus calls His children friends. I pray today for any lost souls that they would come to know Jesus, my friend, Lord, and personal Savior, and let them be saved.  Have a nice day everyone. And God bless you all.
