Salvation

Part 2 of 2

There are many religions out there, where Paradise is represented as some form of reward for sinful or criminal activities.   However that is not so.  Man is imperfect and imperfection cannot gain access to perfection by means of more imperfection.  One cannot commit a social or criminal act and expect to be justified by that act.

That leaves man at the mercy of perfection, and God has found a way to pay the price of sin and death, and thus relieve man of that burden.

Jesus Christ came into this world to save mankind, by going to the Cross and paying the penalty of sin and death in our place.

Without some form of reconciliation, man would be forever separated from God, and man cannot discover or obtain that reconciliation.  Only God is able to do that.

And Jesus Christ accomplished that very objective, while hanging on the Cross.

Therefore, since God did all of the work for salvation, it leaves nothing for man to do, but to believe in what God has already accomplished.

So, in your very own mind, all you have to do is think, ‘I believe in Jesus Christ.’

From that thought, God the Father will do all that is necessary to record and secure for you, forever, your salvation, which is your freedom from an eternal separation from God.

Being a sinner, you are faced with eternal separation from God, who is life.  And eternal separation from life is the most horrifying death existence, even beyond what you can imagine.

God is life and God sustains life.  You cannot do that.  You cannot control the growing hairs on your body, the beat of your heart, the weather, nothing. You are in this world courtesy of the grace of God.

And without God in your life, you are totally alone.  And when death overtakes you one of these days, then you will be lost to eternity, alone, hopeless, helpless, suffering a terrible and horrifying existence, forever.

There is no reincarnation or a second try at life.  There is no reward in Paradise for living a life of sin.  There is nothing you can do on your own, no religion or philosophy which you can invent and make convenient to how you want life to be, that will accomplish what Christ did not the Cross.

It takes only a moment to think those little words, ‘I believe in Jesus Christ.’  It doesn’t hurt you one little bit. 

And by resisting to think those little words, which takes a huge effort, if you are going to reject Christ all of your life, then that alone should tell you something. 

Your effort to reject the same person that all of the world rejects, and does not want you to get to know, should tell you something as well.

Faith, which is believing in Jesus Christ, is the one and only way to be saved.  Christ who is God, did all of the work, and it is now for you to benefit from His effort by believing in who He is and what He did.

And with that simple thought, you will have received the greatest victory for your life.
