What It Means To Have Salvation Through Faith

By Steven Stewart


For a very long time, people have developed different religions. They include Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and the most common one which is Christianity. Christians believe that about two thousand years ago, God sent His only son to cleanse them of all their misdoings. This can be found in their Holy Book which is the Bible. The bible is believed to have been written over two thousand years ago, and it is through it we learn all about Salvation Through Faith.

In every group of believers, they have a guidebook which is like their manual. This book usually has past scenarios and the history of how their belief system was put into place. For Christians, it is known as the Bible. It has a lot of teachings on how people were saved by their trust in God. The book was written by people who were filled with the holy spirit which is part of the Trinity.

According to the bible, everyone is born in sin. This dates back to the first man and woman in the garden of Eden. Sin entered the world through them. Christians are raised and given bible teachings at a very young age. They then get baptized and are cleansed of all their sin. However, if a Christian is to die without getting cleansed of their sins, they will spend an eternity in hell and away from God.

The bible compares the relationship between God and human beings with the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep. When you go to a farm and observe how sheep behave around the shepherd, you would understand. They completely trust their shepherd and always go in the direction he chooses for them.

The bible often compares the relationship between man and God to the correlation of sheep and shepherds. This is because people are required to have complete trust that God would never steer them wrong. This is the same way sheep believe the shepherd would never lead them to danger. However, the stray sheep often get harmed at an event suffers a loss of life at the hands of the wolf. The same way if a Christian stray away from God will be lured into sin and suffer for eternity if they do not repent.

The ten commandments are another factor that strengthens Christians faith in God. These came about in the old testament through Moses who was the servant of God. The people were to follow these laws that were written if they wanted to be saved from their enemies and other dangers. The fact that they followed these commandments shows they believed that God would save them. God delivered his promise by getting them safely to the land that he had promised them.

The fact that Adam and Eve's per took in the forbidden fruit showed God that they had no faith in him. They thought they would be better knowing right from wrong. However, if they choose to have faith in him, they would have enjoyed living in the garden of Eden for eternity. They would have been saved from the hard life of the earth only if they believed in God.

According to Hebrews 11:6 it is impossible to please God without any faith. This means that no matter how good you are and how well you follow the laws of God, you can never be saved as long as you do not have faith in him.
