What Does It Mean To Be Saved? |
|
|
|
The subjects of sin and death, repentance, heaven
and hell are not preached by many preachers today. I heard one
preacher say he never preached on negative things. How can we be
saved unless we realize we are lost? Sinners aren’t saved because
they go to Church. They are saved by faith in Jesus, the Savior of
the world. |
|
I believe it is impossible for us to comprehend
how much God loves mankind. He is no respecter of persons (Acts
10:34) so He loves you just as He loves me. He loves the sinner
though He hates our sin. It is impossible for us to comprehend how
much God hates rebellion and sin. Disobedience to God (sin)
brought suffering, pain, death and every evil thing that there is and
ever has been in this world. The devil tempted Eve and she
disobeyed God and died spiritually and the penalty of spiritual and
physical death is on the whole human race. |
|
The Bible teaches that eternal hell is the final
punishment for Satan and all the unbelieving (who do not believe on
Jesus as Savior). We cannot comprehend the horrors of eternal hell and
will not need to if we trust in Christ. Jesus died to save us from
eternal hell. He died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay our
penalty of death and hell, and believing this, turning from our sin and
asking His forgiveness, brings freedom from guilt and the penalty of
sin. He gives us His peace and His presence in our lives and we know we
have been saved! Glory Hallelujah! You can know Jesus saves too, if
you will turn from your sins, ask Him to forgive and believe Him to do
it now! (Acts 16:31) |
