What Does The Path To Salvation Mean For Mankind?

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 decide to live a life that pleases and satisfies our sinful desires we will be condemned to death. It is because sin puts a separation between us and God. Hence, we are destined to hell. However, when we get saved, we will enjoy eternal life with God. But the Bible gives hope to the human race by providing his only son Jesus Christ to come and die for our sins so that we will inherit His Kingdom.

The Bible says that God gave his only son so that he could save man from the bondage of sin that had taken over the man. In the olden days before the coming of Jesus Christ, lambs and another animal blood was offered as atonement for our sins. But that has since changed because at the cross it was finished by Jesus. Jesus had to be killed and shed his blood to restore the broken relationship between God and man.

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.

Finally, it takes the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross for man to have a new relationship with God. We can now easily access to God through his only son that wants us to live an eternal life. We must accept that we are sinners and give our life to Christ.
