Importance Of The Path To Salvation

By Karina Frost


Human suffering has for a long time been attributed to their own sin. The suffering is said to be both in the present life and can also be in the afterlife. In spite of this, there is good news. There is the path to salvation from sin. This path is made possible by the Son of God. The Bible states that he is the way to God.

The death of Jesus Christ on behalf of humans, makes him able to provide salvation to man. His death took care of the sins of the world. This is the core of the good news. It is obsolete if one does not believe in the sacrifice of the Son of God. No matter how hard people work to do good, their work cannot save them.

God is good and perfect. He has set up rules for us human beings to follow and that is where we fail. Sin comes about by disobedience of His commandments. We have the internal awareness of good and evil. However, our hearts are normally inclined towards evil. The roots of sin are said to lie in the character of a person.

There is need for salvation. The most talked about reason is so that we can get to heaven. Everyone dreams of heaven which seems to be an amazing place free from all the struggles life has to offer. Whoever does not accept or believe in Jesus may be condemned to hell. Most people out of fear will strive to avoid this.

It enables God and man to be in a relationship. This causes proper knowledge of God. There are benefits to this. God will be there with you when things in your life are tough-just like a companion. You can also have peace of mind. One can also have a better understanding of the Bible. The Holy Spirit is said to give understanding.

To receive salvation, you should first of all take note of your sinful character. After which you should repent. This involves humbling yourself and asking for forgiveness. You should believe in the act of love of Jesus-his death for you. Lastly you should pray for salvation. Most of the time, the prayer is given in a structured form.

It does not stop there. You must ensure there is growth in your spiritual life. You can read your bible daily to get a better understanding of God. Praying daily or as often as possible is also good. As a new believer it is key that you constantly fellowship with other believers. This can increase your faith. It is also good to tell others about Christ.

If you are not convinced about salvation, you should not make that move. Do only what you are sure of. To some people it is a non-regrettable move. Others do not pay attention to this kind of news. Obviously people have different perspectives on life. Get the necessary information as the decision is definitely personal and you do not need to be convinced on what to believe in.
