Importance Of The Path To Salvation

By Karina Frost


Sin is described as a human problem that causes a lot of suffering. Not only now in the current life but also, in the next one. Christians are believed to hold good news that can help deal with this problem. The good news is that of Jesus Christ who is referred to as the path to salvation. Evidence of this can be found in the Bible.

Salvation according to Christianity was made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is sometimes described as atonement. This is where an individual with no sin sacrificed his life for others. This is the basis of salvation. One man, Jesus Christ, was the only hope for humanity. This is because by their own works they could not be saved.

God is the Supreme Being in the universe. He has set rules that if obeyed, our lives would be quite easy. However, since our nature is inclined to sin we end up disobeying the commands. Though we know what is good and bad, it is a wonder that we still chose what does not benefit us. It is important that we are worked on from the inside out.

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.

No one should be forced into salvation. It is a personal choice. You ought to have full knowledge of what you could be getting yourself into. Some people describe it as the best decision they have ever made, while others simply do not care. To make a proper decision find out all you need to know. It is just part of the decisions of life-chose wisely.
