What Is The Path To Salvation For Man?

By Lelia Hall


It is God's plan that everyone enjoys a life where people worship him and live according to His ways. Most people always look for satisfaction from the outside things forgetting that real satisfaction comes from having content in God's ways. After the man had sinned in the garden of Eden, God had to create a path to salvation that man would get back to Him.

According to the word of God, man has to be born again to go to heaven. Jesus said that, for anyone to get to the Father, they had to go through him first. When Nicodemus sought Jesus' answers on being born again, he told him that he had to be born again so as to see God's kingdom. Through salvation, man can reconcile with God.

To accept Jesus Christ, the Bible says you must acknowledge you are a sinner and be ready to follow Jesus. Every man on earth has sinned against God. It is because all have fallen short of the Glory of God and as a result man must have an advocate. The advocate who will allow him face the glorious throne of God and that advocate is Jesus.

When we choose to live a life full of sinful desires, we face condemnation to death. Sins separate us with God since God is holy and does not condone sin. With this, we destined for hell. Even so, when we get salvation, we will have an eternal life with Jesus and God in heaven. The Bible gives us hope since it enlists Jesus Christ as the Savior God sent to us to die for our sinful nature in order for us to inherit the kingdom of God.

The Bible mentions Jesus as the only Son of God whom he sent to free mankind from the bondage of sin that the man had succumbed. In the past, before Jesus came to the world, animal blood was used to atone for the sins of men. But in the recent years, that changed because, Jesus carried the cross and was crucified on it just for our sake. He had to undergo torture and be killed to bring back restoration of the relationship between mankind and God.

Salvation is an indication of the love of God to us. It is the ultimate way of men living a life free from sin. It 's hard to comprehend how God works, but we know that his love is incomparable to anything in the world. Deliverance gives us hope especially when we are distressed. It restores faith to the faithless and brings back broken relationships.

Paul, one of the greatest apostles of all time, is a living testimony of the wonders of salvation. It took the repentance for Paul the apostle to become the greatest preachers and missionaries that spread the word of God. After the resurrection, Jesus made it clear to the disciples to go to the world and preach the gospel of salvation to every corner of the world.

Lastly, it takes one to be cleansed with the blood of Jesus in order to have a fresh relationship with God. With that, we can easily communicate with God through prayer and live an eternal life. We have to accept the fact that we are sinners and surrender ourselves to Jesus.
