What
is The Importance of Salvation in All of Us?

Praise The Lord Saints!! Praise The
Lord!! How are all of you doing today?
Fine, I hope. I have a very
important question to ask all of you.
What is the importance of salvation in all of us? I would like to start things off by asking
everyone the definition of the word salvation.
The word salvation means preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss: "they try to sell it to us as economic
salvation" deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by
Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ.
The Biblical
Definition is as follows: Salvation in
Christianity, also called deliverance, or redemption, is the "saving [of]
human beings from death and separation from God" by Christ's death and resurrection, and the
justification following this salvation.
Next, I want to inform all of you that I
am very happy to have God in my life.
Salvation is very important to all of us. I believe in what God says to me. I want to say that I am made right through
Jesus Christ, who is my Personal Savior.
Further, I want
to inform all of you that God loves you.
He dwells inside of you. I know
for me personally, I have come a very long way in my Christian Walk. I am very happy to have Jesus Christ in my
personal life because it is very important for me as a Christian to have an
intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
What
does “salvation” really mean? If
you don’t know that answer, you won’t be able to experience the fullness of
your salvation. So let’s clarify the truth of salvation.
A
good place to begin is by learning the meaning of the word. Most believers
think the word salvation simply
means “to be saved from eternal damnation.” But it means much more than that.
Let’s look at three things the word salvation refers
to:
1. Salvation
Includes Deliverance from Evil—both Temporal and Eternal
Salvation refers to
spiritual and material preservation, deliverance from the fear of danger as
well as pardon, restoration, healing, wholeness and soundness in spirit, soul
and body. It’s true that when you make Jesus your Lord you are saved from the
penalty of sin (Romans 5:9). You’ve been delivered from hell and you’re headed
for heaven!
2. Salvation
Includes a Life of Freedom
Salvation provides
deliverance from the dominion of sin in this life (Romans 6:14). Thank God, you
don’t have to sin anymore! You have been born of God and you have the power to
live a holy life—a life of freedom.
3. Salvation
Protects You from Earthly Dangers
Psalm 91 tells you that you
will be delivered from pestilence, which includes serious sickness and disease,
famine, earthquakes and other calamities. It says you’ll be protected from
sudden death that comes by the weapons of men. It promises you a long,
satisfying life and deliverance from every kind of trouble that comes your way.
All
these are wonderful promises, but they aren’t automatic. These promises operate
under specific conditions, and Psalm 91:1-2 tells you what those conditions
are: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and
fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. I
will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean
and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!”
If
you want to experience the fullness of this great salvation Jesus purchased for
you, exert consistent effort. Don’t give up, and don’t give in. Stand up for
everything salvation has afforded you. Focus on the Lord and His Word. Stay in
constant communication with Him through prayer. Experience all that is available
to you through Jesus Christ!
Finally,
please keep me in your prayers because I have to learn how to be as I am
through Jesus Christ. I want to inform
all of you that I really love all of you because all of us are Children of the
Most High God. I am very happy because
God is working inside of me. He loves
all of us that He died for all of us. I
am going to imitate God!! We should
imitate God!!
