The Cost of Salvation
I in these blogs have often said salvation is free and it is for us.
John records the words of Jesus,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:16-17
Paul writing to the Ephesians stating,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8,9
The Writer of Hebrews stating,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6
Salvation as shown above for us is simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Salvation however cost Jesus his life
The Apostle Paul writes,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8.
I believe that God deliberately sent Jesus to us to demonstrate in purely human terms how far he would go to reconcile himself to us.
I could write pages on why Jesus had to come to this earth most of which would bore a theologian.
The key thing in all of this however is that God want’s to have a personal relationship with you.
God does not care who you are or what your lifestyle is. He knows your heart and he want to come in and have that intimate relationship with you. Jesus said,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30.
Are you willing to believe in Jesus. Are you willing to come into a personal relationship with him?
Please think about it.
