BIBLE BASICS:Salvation
 Salvation is being saved from the righteous judgment of God upon the
sinner.
A lot of people think that salvation means being saved
from yourself or the devil. But that is not accurate. All
who have sinned against God are under the judgment
of God. This judgment is known as damnation where God condemns to
eternal hell all those who have offended Him by breaking His Law.
This does not mean that God is unfair. It
shows that God is holy. God must punish the sinner. But, He
has provided a way of escape so that people will not face His righteous
judgment. This means that God is both holy and loving. He
must manifest each quality equally. So, being saved from the wrath of God is called
salvation.
Salvation is found in Jesus, and only in Jesus,
who is God in flesh (John 1:1,14), and who died for our sins and rose
from the dead. |
