Day 310 - Salvation

- What is salvation? According to the dictionary, salvation is:

1.Deliverance from sin and its consequences.


2.Preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss.
 
- What does the Bible say about salvation?
 
"for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls."


1 Peter 1:9
 
"But as for me, afflicted and in pain — may your salvation, God, protect me."


Psalms 69:29

- So, from what we can see there are two types of salvation: the spiritual salvation and the physical salvation.
The verse in Peter mentioned talks about "salvation of our souls". That makes obvious that there is a need for salvation and that without it, we are done, so how can people still believe that everyone is saved, or that for good deeds we will be saved? - No we won't, we need our faith, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to save us, to save our souls from hell.

- Are you saved?
- What's happening to you after you die?

Day 266 - The Love of Jesus

The whole Bible talks about one central theme: the Love of Jesus.

It goes all around the statement that we, humans, have been separated from God by sin and would not be able to enter heaven, none of us would be acceptable where God is. That's the whole point of Jesus' death. In order for us to be saved, we would need a perfect history, but none of us are perfect, the only perfect one is Jesus, God Himself that loved so much this world that wanted to save us, so gave Himself as a man, and died a death of cross.

"God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes shall receive eternal life"
John 3:16
