The Path To Salvation For Humankind

By Lelia Hall


God expects us as human to live a life free of sin and worship him diligently. Most persons often opt to seek for satisfaction from worldly pleasures rather than from living according to God's will. After the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, a path to salvation had to be made for man to get us back closer to God.

He says that men have to receive salvation and be born again to enter heaven. It is for this reason that Christ said that whoever desires to enter heaven had to pass through him first. In a conversation with Nicodemus, Jesus told him that he had to born again so as to enter the kingdom of God. Deliverance gives us the opportunity to make amends with God through Jesus.

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 a clear testimony of the love of the Lord to human beings. Deliverance is the best way that man would live a life free from the bondage of sin. We cannot fully understand how God operates, but we know that His love for us is more than anything we can compare by worldly standards. Salvation offers hope in the times of distress. It gives faith to the faithless and restores broken relationships.

Paul, one of the best apostles of all time, serves us a great example of how salvation works wonders. When Paul repented, the received Jesus and he rose to become a great missionary and preacher who never gave up in spreading the word of God. After resurrecting, Jesus told his disciples to take charge of preaching the gospel to every corner of the world.

In conclusion, deliverance cannot take place without cleansing with the blood of Jesus. It creates a new relationship between mankind and God and gives us a leeway to communicate with God. But the first step to always achieving salvation is by accepting your sinful nature and repenting.
