WHAT
IS SALVATION
It
is important that you understand what salvation is so
that you may receive it as a gift and benefit from its
blessings.
Why
is it Important?
Salvation
is deliverance (freedom) from the authority and control
of sin. According to the Word of God, you will be saved
from enemies (Luke 1:71), sin (Romans 10:1,9-10), bondage
(Acts 7:25) sickness, and disease (Acts 4:12). Salvation
comes from the Greek word, soteria, which means deliverance,
healing, prosperity, wholeness, peace, soundness, security
and the Ministry of Angels. Salvation is a release from
bondage, imprisonment and captivity. Salvation is a
gift available to all who repent (change their attitude
and direction toward sin) and believe on Jesus (Roman
10:9-10) which prepares you to confess Him as your Savior
and Lord.
Why
must I be saved?
You
should be saved because God loves you and wants you
to be saved (John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:3,4). He desires
relationship with you and has an awesome plan for your
life. Jesus died for your sins so that you can have
the abundant life of prosperity and health! Does being
saved mean I'm perfect? No, but you are forgiven (Romans
3:23,24).
Will
I be tested?
Yes,
satan will tempt you as he tempted Jesus in Matthew
4:3-11, but you can count it all joy when you fall into
various temptations and know that the trying of your
faith works patience (James 1:2,3). Patience, when it
is finished, will leave you perfect (complete), wanting
nothing. James 1:13 says "Let no man say when he
is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted
with evil, neither does he tempt he any man..."
What
does salvation cost me?
The
price of salvation was paid by the blood of Jesus Christ.
In 1 Corinthians 6:19,20, the apostle Paul says that
you are not your own, but you have been bought with
a price. Jesus paid the price for you to receive the
gift of salvation.
What
does knowing Jesus have to do with my salvation?
Jesus
is the only way to the Father according to John 14:6.
Acts 4:12 also says that there is no other name under
heaven by which we be saved. Jesus said, he is the way,
the truth and the life (John 14:6)
A
Prayer to Receive Jesus as Savior
Heavenly Father,
I
come to you in Jesus name, to ask for forgiveness for
all my sins. In your Word, you said "...Whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"
(Romans 10:13). Jesus, I'm calling on your name. You
also said, "...if I confess with my mouth the Lord
Jesus, and believe in my heart that God has raised him
from the dead, I shall be saved. For with the heart
man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10).
I believe with my heart that Jesus was raised from the
dead so that I may live eternally and I invite you now
into my heart. I confess you right now as my Lord, my
saviour and my friend. I need you Lord Jesus and invite
you by your Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in the
way I should go Amen.
Thank
you Father, I am saved!
