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.

He is described as the way, because of his sacrificial death on the cross. This is also referred to as atonement for our sins. Jesus suffered and died for the sake of human beings. This forms the core of salvation. Whereby, only the blood of one man could atone for the sins of the whole world. By their own merit, they could not buy a ticket to heaven.

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.

Getting saved is the key to entering the gates of heaven. This is a place we dream about since our childhood. A place said to have peace and no hardships. This can only be made possible if you believe in sacrificial death of Son of God. If you fail to make it to heaven your other option is hell. If one option is extremely good the other has to be extremely bad.

Another reason is so as to have a relationship with God. When in a relationship with Him, you get to enjoy benefits such as peace and help in times of trouble. God will be there with you as you maneuver through life. One can also better understand scripture compared to a person who is not saved. This is made possible by the Holy Spirit.

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.

The zeal for staying saved and in sync with God tends to fade away. For this reason, much should be done. There should be regular prayer and reading the Bible. This helps you understand more of what you are involved in. Finding a church to constantly go to is also an important move. Telling others about your faith can be of great help.

Salvation, just as the many decisions in life, is personal. You should not be pushed into doing something yet, you have no idea of what you are doing. Some people describe this as the best move ever in their lives, while others pay little or no attention to it. If this looks like a path you are interested to follow find out all the facts and decide wisely.
