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.

The death of Jesus Christ on behalf of humans, makes him able to provide salvation to man. His death took care of the sins of the world. This is the core of the good news. It is obsolete if one does not believe in the sacrifice of the Son of God. No matter how hard people work to do good, their work cannot save them.

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.

It enables God and man to be in a relationship. This causes proper knowledge of God. There are benefits to this. God will be there with you when things in your life are tough-just like a companion. You can also have peace of mind. One can also have a better understanding of the Bible. The Holy Spirit is said to give understanding.

There are steps towards receiving salvation. First you have to admit that you are a sinner. Then you should repent your sins. This means that you see your mistakes and you are ready to seek forgiveness. Another step is believing that Jesus died to save you from your sins. The last step involves inviting Jesus into your heart as your personal savior.

It does not stop there. You must ensure there is growth in your spiritual life. You can read your bible daily to get a better understanding of God. Praying daily or as often as possible is also good. As a new believer it is key that you constantly fellowship with other believers. This can increase your faith. It is also good to tell others about Christ.

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.
