Salvation Part 2

 


    A life without Jesus is a life sitting on death row just waiting to die.  You can distract yourself.  You can pretend things are different, but the reality is this life is short.  Eternity is long especially without God.  Salvation is the only found through Jesus.  Jesus is the only way to the eternity that each person wants and needs.
    I can't make anyone face reality.  I can't force people to fear God.  I can't convince people that salvation is the key to life.  All I can do is proclaim the truth and pray.  They have to hear the message in their heart and come to salvation on their own.  People have to realize for themselves that they need help, restoration, and resurrection.  
    Jesus revealed the plan of salvation.  It is recorded in the Bible how to find and live out your salvation.  He told us that he is the only way.  Any other path is a lie.  Your journey is still going to be different from anyone else.  Once you have salvation, you never travel alone again.
    Salvation is for everyone, but only a few will have it.  You have to believe in Jesus and be willing to follow him.  You conform your life to be more like Jesus.  He justified you at the moment of salvation to glorify God.  If you accept his gift, then you are justified on judgment day.  You get to live free now.  You are no longer locked up on death row.
    Salvation is choosing to be holy and blameless because you love God.  The purpose is to reveal God's glorious grace that is lavished on us through Jesus.  Grace is God's free and sovereign act of love and mercy displayed through salvation.  Jesus died and resurrected to open the door to heaven to all people.  To accept salvation, you are set apart like Jesus was.  Jesus sustains you to glorification.  It is time to live free.

Psalm 116:1-14, Acts 4:1-4, Romans 8:26-30, 10:5-12, & Ephesians 1:3-8, 2:8-10
