Salvation - The Saving of the Soul
Jesus paid for our Salvation through what He did for us on the cross. JESUS SAVES OUR SOUL. All we have to do is receive it! So how do we receive it? Well the first step is Believing; One must first BELIEVE that God has raised Jesus from the dead and that Jesus is Lord. Then we have to make a confession: Life and Death is in the power of the tongue, so we must confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord as well(Romans 10:9). Think of this as an expression of your Faith. Then we are able to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit(Baptism of the Holy Spirit), who is our helper and who will give us the strength to walk in our Salvation and in the newness of life we have in Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the seal of our Faith(Ephesians 4:30) Baptism with water is a public declaration of Faith, and it represents you being washed away from your old life, and being raised into a newness of life in Jesus, through the same Spirit that was in Jesus(Acts 2:38;Acts 11:16). Which brings us into the next step, repentance; Repentance starts in the heart. We must make up in our hearts and in our minds that we will no longer abide in our old ways of living with its deceitful lusts and desires(Ephesians 4:22-24). We must CHOOSE to turn away from the sin and wickedness that we have been delivered from(Romans 6:12-14). It is also important to remember that, though somethings are required of us to receive our Salvation, it is still not according to any of the works on this earth that we do or have done. Neither can anything we do after we receive it change it or take it away from us(Romans 8:35-39). It is a gift from God, what we call His Grace. By God’s Grace we have been saved through Faith, and Faith is how we receive it. God’s Grace is the only reason our souls are able to be saved(Ephesians 2:8). There is nothing we did or anything we can do to earn our salvation(Ephesians 2:9). The only thing we have to do is receive it in our hearts, and receiving it starts with Believing in what God has done for us through Jesus.
