God’s Way of Salvation

John Umlauf

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18

Sin is the barrier between mankind and its Creator. All of the selfish, wrong things we’ve done in our life are sins, and hold us completely separated from God, as our guilt for them condemns us before his high and holy standard of sinless perfection. None could ever live a life good enough or pure enough to satisfy Him, so God in great love and mercy sent His only begotten Son to be born as a man, in order to remove the world’s curse of sin, by Jesus becoming a sacrifice, dying a cruel, horrific tortuous death on the cross, where in complete innocence, He was punished in the place of all for the guilt of the whole human race. When the job was complete, Jesus the Son arose from the dead alive and ascended back to Heaven where He now sits at the right hand side of the Father waiting for all those who will come to God by them simply turning from their sinful lifestyle and accepting what He did for them through His cross. The moment anyone believes and asks God’s forgiveness while trusting in Jesus’ death for them, their sins are wonderfully, entirely gone and they are changed as God’s Holy Spirit comes into them and instantly connects them to a God they never before could have reached. Hell’s punishment for sin they will never see, and Heaven will be their forever eternal home, if they continue in faith the rest of their days on this earth. This is the Gospel story.

Have you been saved from your sins and been redeemed to God? Many pass out of this life never choosing to believe, and they suffer their own woefully miserable punishment for their sins in Hell for all eternity. No one–not anyone needs ever to go to Hell! Jesus’ death covered absolutely every last sin for every single soul of all mankind for all of time! No sin is too deep that the blood of Jesus cannot completely, 100 % wash it away and make one thoroughly clean! Will you be one of the wise who believe and discover the forgiveness and true life God gives, or of those who reject His immense love and the price Jesus paid for you, and miss out on everything that life is truly about?

Pray to Him now and simply ask God to forgive you on the basis of Jesus dying on the cross in your place and commit your life to following Him all the rest of your days. There is no higher joy, greater peace or fuller satisfaction than having a personal relationship with God and having His presence always with you through the Holy Spirit, with the eternal hope that you’re fearlessly ready for Heaven at the end of this road of life. Please, make salvation your choice today!

“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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:16-17
