Salvation

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." " (Acts 4:12 NIV)

 

What is Salvation?
Salvation means that a person changes their relationship with God. They go from not knowing God to knowing Him and being accepted by Him just as they are. It means that at the end of their life they will not be judged by God but will be with God in eternity - Guaranteed!

Salvation is something that we don't know we need until God reveals our condition before Him and the reality of Jesus Christ. So you may be reading this page out of curiosity, morbid interest, because you think it's funny or you want to check if you are saved; OR God may be trying to say something to you.

The Bible is very clear on salvation - it says that it can't be earned, worked for, bought, inherited or picked up just when you feel like it. It doesn't matter what church you go to or how long you've been going; how many good deeds you do in a day; whether you don't drink, don't smoke, don't steal or tell lies. It doesn't matter if your good deeds outweigh your bad ones; you are good to your mother, kind to animals; like to pray, read your Bible or light candles in church. It is the free gift of God, available through Jesus Christ only and nothing and nobody else.

How do I do it?
