Let's talk....
Today's word is Salvation.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the noun salvation as:
- Deliverance from the power or penalty of sin; redemption.
- The agent or means that brings about such deliverance.
As Christians, we believe that salvation is the gift of God to those who believe on His son Jesus Christ. It is our faith in Jesus that sets us free from sin and death.
Now, this faith is a progressive thing. It requires that I stay in it. I demonstrate my faith in Jesus by living the precepts He taught:
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Many people delude themselves that they have salvation - based on a passing knowledge of the reality of Christ. But true citizenship in the kingdom of God requires a true relationship with His Son.
Check yourself today, is your relationship strong? Is your faith sure? Do you really know Him?
Knowledge of Christ, without a Christian lifestyle is not a way to please God. Neither is a Christian lifestyle without a true relationship with Christ. In other words - they fail who claim to know Christ yet live as heathen. And they also fail who live as Christians but have no real relationship with Jesus.
Make no mistake your salvation hinges on faith in and relationship with Jesus Christ, all else is imaginary salvation.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
