The Gain of Salvation

 

Were do you find salvation? And once you find it, what do you do to keep it? Dear friend, lets talk about were salvation comes from. God’s infinite love for man God, created man in the imagine of him self. (Genesis 1:27) God instructed man to obey him (Genesis 2:17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. God’s warning of instruction had no choice on our behalf, But we failed by the lying words of the serpent (The Devil) Genesis 3:4,5) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

 

 From that day forward that Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. Sin entered into this world.

 

It was one that entered into this world (The Devil) to destroy our wonderful relationship with God, because of pride. We lost our truth with God. As the years pasted on. Sin got so bad in the world that it was like poison to God. (Genesis 6:5,6)    

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

 

God saved Noah and 7 others that were his family, and the world was flooded with the rain of God’s wrath from Heaven. God was tried of seeing sin so he saved the ones that were obedient onto him. (Genesis 6:8,9) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9: These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

 

Now we understand that sin is an enemy of God. What must we do to get saved? First, we must understand that we are born into this world as sinners and are short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 

Because of God infinite love this is what he did for us to have salvation. (John 3:16)                 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

Through Jesus Christ he was going to save us from our sins (Matthews 1:21)

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

 

Does this mean that if we believe in Jesus that we will be saved, and continue in our daily sin we will go to heaven?  Wrong!! (Romans 6:1,2) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2: God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

 

What did Jesus say unto us in order for us to make it into heaven?

(John 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 

Ok? What must we do to get born again?  There was a man by the name of Nicodemus that ask that question of Jesus. (John 3:4,5,6) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

 

We must confess our sins to Jesus Christ for the remission of all of our sins and he will wash you in his precious blood. (Revelation 1:5)  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

 

I Peter 1:19 & 23) 19: But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

23: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever

 

If anyone wants to give there heart to the Lord. Please turn to your bible in Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
