What Salvation Is: Part I

"For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2

To begin to explain salvation, let's first look at the word salvation. The Dictionary and Concordance describe salvation as: preservation, deliverance from danger and evil, and the deliverance from the power, presence, pleasure, and penalty of sin. Now don't just read these meanings of salvation and go on, stop and really allow the Holy Ghost to bring you peace and joy and the fullness of hope in believing the meanings of salvation, and allow the Truth of salvations meaning to sink into your Anointed mind. We now have the mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16. The Truth of God’s Word is food for our souls, and the Truth will set us free! Salvation means preservation, deliverance from danger, safe from evil, delivered from, not only the penalty of sin, but also sins power, this is what salvation means! When we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are preserved, we are delivered from danger and evil, and we are freed from the power of sin, the pleasure of sin, and the presence of sin. God has so many Truths to share with us on His freedom, and we will study them, but not right now. We will first lay the foundation of the house; then we will build upon it with lively stones of God’s Truth, His Word. And God’s Word teaches us that now is the day of His freedom through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!
