What Does The Path To Salvation Mean For Mankind?

By Lelia Hall


God expects us humans to worship him daily and live in accordance with his principles. However, most individuals search for gratification from earthly things forgetting that the ultimate satisfaction lies in living according to God's ways. Man began leading this kind of life when Adam and Eve fell into sin; therefore he created a path to salvation to get humans back to his ways.

According to the word of God, man has to be born again to go to heaven. Jesus said that, for anyone to get to the Father, they had to go through him first. When Nicodemus sought Jesus' answers on being born again, he told him that he had to be born again so as to see God's kingdom. Through salvation, man can reconcile with God.

The Bible says that accepting Jesus requires one acknowledge their sinful nature and be ready to follow him. All men are guilty of sin because we have fallen short below the Glory of God. Therefore, he sent Jesus to be our advocate and redeem us from the bondage of sin.

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 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.

Deliverance is a testimony of the love God has for us. It is the best way for the man to be liberated from the bondage of sin. It is not easy to understand how God operates; nonetheless, we cannot compare the love he has for us with anything on the earth. Deliverance also gives us hope when we are troubled. The faithless get the faith back, and the broken relationships are restored.

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.
