What Does The Path To Salvation Mean For Mankind?

By Lelia Hall


It is God's plan that everyone enjoys a life where people worship him and live according to His ways. Most people always look for satisfaction from the outside things forgetting that real satisfaction comes from having content in God's ways. After the man had sinned in the garden of Eden, God had to create a path to salvation that man would get back to Him.

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 choose to live a life full of sinful desires, we face condemnation to death. Sins separate us with God since God is holy and does not condone sin. With this, we destined for hell. Even so, when we get salvation, we will have an eternal life with Jesus and God in heaven. The Bible gives us hope since it enlists Jesus Christ as the Savior God sent to us to die for our sinful nature in order for us to inherit the kingdom of God.

The Bible mentions Jesus as the only Son of God whom he sent to free mankind from the bondage of sin that the man had succumbed. In the past, before Jesus came to the world, animal blood was used to atone for the sins of men. But in the recent years, that changed because, Jesus carried the cross and was crucified on it just for our sake. He had to undergo torture and be killed to bring back restoration of the relationship between mankind and God.

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, who was one of the greatest apostles, is a beautiful example of how salvation works wonders. He repented of his sins and received deliverance after which he became a great preacher and a missionary in spreading the gospel of salvation. After resurrecting, Jesus gave his disciples a mission to spread the word of God to all corners of the world.

Lastly, it takes one to be cleansed with the blood of Jesus in order to have a fresh relationship with God. With that, we can easily communicate with God through prayer and live an eternal life. We have to accept the fact that we are sinners and surrender ourselves to Jesus.
