SALVATION BY GRACE

TEXT: Ephesians 2:8

        ”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ”

What is salvation? Simply put it is when one is saved. What does it mean for someone to be saved? It means such person has been justified of his/her sins. What does it mean to be justified of sins? And what are sins? Sins are the actions people take that do not please GOD (like lying, stealing, cheating and so on). To be justified of sins is to be forgiven of all ones sins by GOD, such that the sins are considered as they were never committed, so such sinner has been acquitted of his/her sins by GOD.

Why do we need forgiveness from GOD?

We need it because after this world, everyone will have to give an account of all that they have done to GOD, and those that did not please GOD during their lifetime will face an eternal punishment, it is hell, while those that are found worthy will stay with GOD in HIS kingdom.

How can a dead person be judged? The bible says in Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” so everybody will be judged.

                How can I be saved?

GOD has made a provision for us all to be saved, John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Who is this Son of GOD, His name is Jesus, He came to save everyone of us from sin all you need to do is just to believe that he is the Son of GOD and that he came to save us all, then confess all your sins to Him and promise Him you will not commit sins again, if you have done this, then I congratulate you because you are saved.
