The Meaning Salvation Through Faith And By Grace

By Steven Stewart


Since the beginning of time, many cults, religions and different faiths have emerged. Each has their own set of beliefs and laws to be followed. These religions are found throughout the world and for those who lack any belief system are known as pagans or atheists. The religions range from Buddhism to traditionalists and to Islam and Christians who are the two major religions. This article, however, focuses on Christianity and Salvation Through Faith.

The bible has quite some verses that talk about salvation, grace, and trust. The first is Ephesians 2:8-9. It primarily speaks about Christians being saved by their faith. This means that the grace of God will always be upon you and protect you from all evil as long as you have complete and strong faith in him. This means that without trust, a relationship with God will not be strong compared to when you do have trust.

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.

Eating from the tree of knowledge was a sign of lack of trust. It angered God so much that he threw Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden. He also put punishment on them which people still suffer to this day. If they had faith like Abraham who was ready to sacrifice his son, they would have enjoyed simple lives, and they would have received blessings just the way Abraham did.

All in all, the Christianity religion is based on trust. Without faith one is bound to wither away in the earthly life, and their agony is to continue in the afterlife. This means if one does not have faith in God, they are doomed to burn forever in the fires of hell.
