Salvation from sin God told Joseph concerning Mary: “She shall bear a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21). Jesus saves us from our sins by his word, through which he calls sinners to repentance.
We ARE BEING SAVED from sin's POWER.
Until that day, we are in the process of being saved from sin's power: “To us who are being saved [the cross] is the power of God” (1 Cor.
The Bible clearly teaches that the moment a person turns from his sin and trusts in Jesus to be forgiven of his sin, he is saved (Acts 2:37-41). He has passed from spiritual death to spiritual life (John 5:24) and has been declared not guilty in God's court of law (Rom 3:21-26).
We have: been chosen as His; received His salvation; been adopted as His children; been forgiven; received insight into the things of the Spirit; received the power to serve God and do His will; received the gifts of the Spirit; and the hope of living forever with Him.
Because of His sacrifice, we all have the chance to find eternal peace and joy. We refer to Jesus Christ as our Savior. That is because He paid the price for our sins and overcame the power of death.
Christ came to redeem you from suffering and sin. And Isaiah tells us how Christ redeems you from your sins—by sacrificing himself as your substitute.
God saves His people by using those who are brave and zealous. He speaks to those he chooses to use. God speaks to them through dreams or through a still small voice. While speaking to whom he has chosen, he instructs and guide them until they have achieved the task before them.
And that's why Jesus came, to save us from ourselves. He did that by taking the burden of us and our sinfulness on himself rather than being selfish and saying, “You fix it.” Even though Jesus had no sin, he foisted on himself the burden and guilt of the world's sin (1 John 2:1,2). We have forgiveness freely.
God shows His love for us by not only forgiving us of our sins, but by going even further and bringing us into His family. He has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints. (Col 1:12) This inheritance includes salvation, strength, hope, peace, comfort, providence, fellowship and so much more!
Jesus set us free from the bondage of sin and death by giving his life on the cross as a ransom sacrifice. Freedom is a gift of Jesus, given to us and received by faith.
In John 3:16, we read about a most precious gift: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
God Saves Us Because He Loves Us
John 3:16-17 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
In American evangelical Christianity, achieving salvation is called “getting saved,” often referred to as being “born again” through a spiritual awakening likened to a second birth.
First, God saves us by grace through faith in Christ. Look at verse 8: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” Two words stand out in this phrase: grace and faith.
Your greatest gifts from God are His love for you and His offering of His son Jesus. God chose to send Christ so that we can have eternal life with Him. But that is just the beginning of what a life in Christ offers.
Furthermore, we must realize that God is not unrighteous by not saving everyone. God chooses to save sinners unconditionally and acts in mercy to save those who do not deserve it. That includes all of God's children.
This single way of redemption has been communicated throughout Scripture though with greatest clarity in the New Testament. Overall, the only way anyone has been declared righteous from the Fall until the present is through trust in the substitutionary atonement of our Victor-King.
Salvation in Christianity, or deliverance or redemption, is the "saving [of] human beings from death and separation from God" by Christ's death and resurrection.
God cares about each of us. He allows us to steward financial resources for his glory and our good. He knows that as we glorify him out of gratitude for his gifts to us, we experience true life. And he desires that we reflect his generosity through our giving.
Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and for answering my prayer.
“God is our refuge” — God is the One we can go to when we feel like life is coming at us from all directions. He is the one who will shelter us and “cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings” (Psalm 91:4). We can trust in him and find refuge from the storms of this life. God is also our strength.
