Salvation is the forgiveness of sin in your life and the eternal adoption into God’s Holy family. God’s gift of eternal life is not His taking you away from the “pleasures” of a corrupt world and forcing you to live a life that is meaningless and unfulfilling, it is far more than most believe or ever imagine. Being made a part of God’s family will place you within His authority and under His love and protection. To live eternally you must be rid of those things that will cause your demise, and God is the only One who can rid you of those things. Sin in your life is what causes you to die, and if you are to live, all sin must be removed. As the physician removes those parts of the body that are infected and harmful, so must sin be removed from our spiritual lives if we are to remain healthy and alive. As all sin is being removed, we are given true hope and purpose. As all sin is being removed, the burdens and cares of life are no longer our discomfort. The Christian life is not unfulfilled and empty. When the ravage of sin is taken away we are given the knowledge of what true life is all about. As we accept the love of God into our hearts, our lives become full of His unending joy and true glory. What is there about deliverance that is to be considered undesirable, or what is there about love that is to be unwanted? When the promises of this world are seldom honored and unfulfilling, what is there to gain? To be given God’s highest prize even though we are unworthy cannot be matched by anything this world has promised to give. GLH www.myownwordz.com
