Salvation is Here

What is this free gift of salvation? It is the gift of God that He offers to sinners. Salvation is deliverance from the penalty of sin, also called redemption. The gift is not forced upon us by some dictating overlord; it is offered, we still have to accept it. We accept this gift by acknowledging what Jesus did for us on the cross and by admiting that we are in need of His saving power (in other words, admiting you are a sinner).

REMEMBER: Salvation is by GRACE. There is nothing you can do to make Jesus love you more than He does right now. His love is so overwhelming, we will need eternity just to grasp a portion of it! Nevertheless, He knows that we are going to mess up...we're human. What He expects, however, is that we come back to Him (in repentance) so He can help us to avoid messing up the next time. That is how He designed this life, in such a way that we would have to depend on Him in order to live it. It is through a relationship with Him that we find TRUE LIFE.

The Bible isn't a just nice book to be browsed through once in a while... it is our lifeblood! It gives us strength, power, wisdom, confidence, faith, hope and LOVE (not to mention the spiritual armor that we so desperatly need). In order to have all that Jesus wants us to have, we must search the scriptures consistently...on a regular basis, how else are we going to know what God has for us? The Bible has promised to reveal that information if we will just read it.
