So, why bother with salvation?
What does the church have to offer us that we can’t get elsewhere?
We can be good people. There are celebrated individuals worldwide who are recognized for their good works and philanthropic deeds.
Is taking out time for attending church and donating to its upkeep even relevant in our modern culture? In previous centuries, church involvement offered a sense of community, but we have social media for that now.
Isn’t that just as good?
Besides, we can attend church without the salvation part, can’t we? That’s in there just for feel-good measures, certainly.
Let’s clarify where the Bible stands on the importance of salvation, and why it’s the best part of Christian life.
2 Corinthians 5:21 says salvation imparts a very real change in our fundamental being. We become better than before.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
Ephesians 2:1 says we are infused with the motivation to walk a better path. We want to constantly improve.
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.”
1 Timothy 2:3-4 says we begin to see the world and our situation in a whole new way. We understand the core truth of our spiritual existence.
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
We can try to be good people without salvation, but we’ll always miss the mark. We’ll slip on the banana peel of conflicting emotions, and the damage will be done.
Salvation is our better choice. We are infused with spiritual power from a higher plane, and God becomes our mentor and guide.
Salvation is for everyone. Take hold of it today.
