How Can God Save?
First of all, you must want to be saved. Many do not believe in God; they don't need a Savior. Secondly, what do you need to be saved from? If a man never had a problem, never had any trouble, afflictions, or sickness, why would he need a Savior? Many people pretend to be strong and need no Savior. The Bible says:[Rom 8:22 KJV] 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. One thing all creation has in common, that is Death. [Heb 9:27 KJV] 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:... The truth is, we suffer one way or another. Some have lifelong disabilities, some financial, some in marriage, some with anxiety and depression. The greatest deception is our Pride. The devil fell because of pride. [Eze 28:17 KJV] 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. So how can God save you if you don't want to be saved? Shall he force you? Will he manipulate you? NO, you must come to God on your own. God has given every person a Free-will. This means it is your Choice, your Responsibility to Believe God's offer of Salvation, or Reject it. [Act 17:29-31 KJV] 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead.
We are made in the Image of God, knowing good and evil. [Gen 1:27 KJV]
So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. The LORD GOD gave Adam one command: Do not eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. [Gen 2:17 KJV] 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. The devil lied to Eve. "[Gen 3:4-5 KJV] 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
The Word of God teaches us in [Rom 5:12 KJV] 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:... All of us are born with a sin nature inherited from Adam. We are by nature rebellious towards God. [Rom 3:23 KJV] 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;... [Rom 6:23 KJV] 23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. For you who need a Savior, and are open to the Word of God, the Lord has provided his only begotten Son.
[Jhn 3:16-17 KJV] 16 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. There is only one in between the Father and mankind. [1Ti 2:4-6 KJV] 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
The Lord wants you to have full assurance of your salvation. You can be certain you are saved, forgiven, and belong to God, because he did everything necessary to satisfy the Justice of a Holy God on the cross. He rose from the dead. The grave could not hold him. He has destroyed the works of the devil.
[Heb 2:14-15 KJV] 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
The Choice is yours. Will you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, or reject him? Eternal life starts the moment you trust the Savior. He immediately gives you his Holy Spirit, and your new life in Christ begins.
[Eph 1:7 KJV] 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;,,, [Eph 1:12-13 KJV] 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption (resurrection) of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Are you ready to be saved? [Rom 10:9-13 KJV] 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
[Eph 2:8-9 KJV] 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
