The Power of Your Belief
By
Many individuals have an unscriptural idea of what the word “salvation” means, but the term is so basic to understanding Christianity that it merits our focused concentration. We will outline deliverance as the present of God’s grace, goodness, love, and mercy, whereby He provides forgiveness for your sin and mine.
The Bible explains that “the salary of sin is death, but the free present of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” ( Romans 6:23 ). We are all sinners meriting of death ( Isaiah 53:6 ), but in His love and mercy, God made provision for our forgiveness : he permitted amendment to be manufactured by the losing of blood. ( Leviticus 17:11 ) all of the Old Testament sacrifices foreshadowed what was to come – that is, they pointed at the once-for-all, substitutionary death of God’s sinless Boy on the cross. Jesus took our place, receiving the punishment that was properly ours.
Indeed, humankind’s redemption was the purpose for which Christ came into the world. ( Luke 19:10 ) And so, deliverance is related to nothing else but the person of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist accepted this. On seeing Jesus, he announced, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” ( John 1:29 ). There’s no acceptance before Almighty God – no way to come to Him – aside from the Savior.
( John 14:6 ) Through Scripture, we see that deliverance is a free present that derives from a private relationship with Jesus Christ. It isn’t an effect of good works ; rather, a person who is saved will naturally produce good works. Have you selected to get God’s gift?
