What is Salvation?

So, what is Salvation?

Here's what it consist of Believing+Repentance+Baptism=Salvation. Guess what? Salvation is 100% free. Do you want to know why? Because Jesus paid the price of your sins for you, 2000+ years ago. Before you, your parents, your parents parents or their parents were even thought of. He knew you, he seen you, he though of YOU when he was lashed, tortured, and crucified. He saw the greater outcome of it all, he thought that YOU was worth it all. He showed his grace, love and mercy towards you, to me, to everyone :) ! Whether he was accepted by a person or not, he gave and is still giving opportunities to come to him, he loves YOU and he wants the best for YOU. No matter how bad you think your sins are, no matter the situation you're in, he is waiting for you to come to him so that you can be forgiven, made new, granted a space in the Book of Life, and a given clean slate with him. Amazing right, he makes me smile, and makes me want to be a better example of him. 

Now lets break down Believing, Repentance, and Baptism down separately in depth.

Believing, believing is when you actually take to heart and believe, that Jesus died for your sins in order to receive remission through Repentance. Believing is when you're ready to commit and give your all to the Lord. You are ready to turn your back from the world and their ways, you are ready for change, and you are ready for Jesus to change you in a really awesome way. 

Repentance, repentance is what you do after you believe. When you repent, you are asking for forgiveness and remission of ALL of your sins. You're asking Jesus to help you, to give you an opportunity and chance to actually live. To cleanse your heart and lift that heavy burden off of your shoulders. To really open your eyes and see how reality really is and get to get you out of the fantasy like mentality.

Baptism, baptism is when your are immersed in water in JESUS name. I have to be very specific with that,because, before Jesus died on the cross, the people were baptized in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. But, when Christ came to Earth and died, then after everyone was to be baptized in Jesus name. 

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. - Acts 2:38

(Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit, if you need the Holy Spirit explained more in depth, comment or e-mail me.)

Grace,Love&Blessings!
