Let me know your contribution, it is important. Thanks and God bless.
Hi Im jingle, belong the church of Jesus is Lord church here in Philippines, for me salvation is when you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, then you obey him you follow his command one of this bring soul to the kingdom of the living regardless, race, color, nationality. when you are save you are afraid doing a bad thing.
Salvation in Greek (the bible was translated from Hebrew and Greek so sometimes you need to expand the word by going back to Greek) soteria it means welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety. So when talking about salvation it is talking about the restoration being made whole and delivered from the death sentence sin placed on us.
For the wages of sin is death. Jesus never sinned so he couldn't die so why did he? Because the only way to fully pay for the penalty of disobeying God was to become sin.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ NIV)
Consequently, just as one trespass(or sin) resulted in condemnation(death and seperation from God) for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification( saved from death and given access to the Father) and life for all people. (‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬ NIV)
This is why
And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, �Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?� (which means �My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?� ). (‭Mark‬ ‭15‬:‭34‬ NIV) at this stage God turned his back on Jesus because he had become every sin and God is pure and at this stage His full wrath/anger was on Jesus. Jesus took our place so we didn't have to face Gods judgement.
The last word Jesus cried before his death was "kalah" it is Arabic the language he spoke. It has three meanings most of the time it is translated as it is finished, no more needed to be done, completed. But it also means Total destruction, obliterated and it means Bride.
So he cried out My Bride ( all those who believe) it is done complete no more do you need to do anything to wipe your sin and have a relationship with God, the law is fulfilled the penelty paid, the power of Satan and death is destroyed, obliterated it is no more.
God then ripped the curtain from top to bottom. Behind the curtain was the sanctuary of God, only the high priests could go into their as it housed the presence of God (the Holy Spirit) and they could only go in there if they had cleansed themselves. When God ripped it he said now all may come into my presence.
We are saved by grace. But it was more than just the gift of eternal life. See when God made us He made us in His image but sin destroyed that image. When we are saved or given salvation it is the restoration of that image
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God�s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. (‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭4-5‬ NIV) the word seed is sperma, like the word sperm you could say it houses the DNA of God the genetic make up that we stop sinning not that we become God but like God pure, righteous, prosperous, healed.
