What is Salvation?

Jesus Christ is our salvation; our eternal life


For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Romans 8:24-25


Those who are in Christ, being joined to Him, are saved; are joined to and one with eternal life.


But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
1 Corinthians 6:17

What is salvation, what does it mean? Is salvation something that you still wait for?

Salvation is knowing that things are going to be ok... sometimes we experience salvation in the present time and sometimes we have to be patient and wait for it.
It means that there will be a day where there are no more tears or sorrow, and the old men will dream dreams again.

It means we will never loose our hope.

Salvation for myself was realized 1/1/1990 and because it is eternal (Romans 11:29 ESV
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
John 5:24 ESV
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.) And at least 41 other references in the Bible.

I am Eternally saved and the utter nonsense of that being a license to sin comes from one or both if these mistakes.
1. They do not read the Holy Word of YHWH with the Indwelling of the Ruah (a.k.a. the Holy Spirit) resulting in the Scriptures remaining a mystery to them, or/and,
2. They listen to one or more of the millions/maybe billions of New World, Hindu, Islamic/Muslim, Jehova's Witness, LDS/Mormon Teachers and these are less than one percent of the false teachers of our world today.

Because I am Eternally Saved I am Privileged and empowered I can refuse to submit to the sins I loived and iknow I would love once more. I now heap all of my Personal Affection on my wife, who is a year and two months older than I.

For the past twenty-nine years I have not wanted to date the ladies I was infamous for dating and marrying... 18 to 22 years old. Because I am Eternally Saved I am empowered to Worship YHWH and to refuse temptation.
 
Salvation is the promise of eternal life, the freedom from sin , the power to overcome sin and the forgiveness of repented sin
It is the gift of God's grace to those who believe God's Son died for all men and given to those who follow Him
In the centre of it is tremendous love towards mankind.
 
Salvation is something that is seen, to behold the glory of the Lord.
Salvation is a wedding garment we are clothed in.
Salvation is something that we live daily.
Salvation should be a song upon our lips.
 
Exodus 14:13-14
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Exodus 15:1-2
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying,
I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously:
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and song,
and he is become my salvation:
he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
 
Psalm 40:1-6
I waited patiently for the Lord;
and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust,
and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done,
and thy thoughts which are to us-ward:
they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:
if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast thou opened:
burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Psalm 40:7-10
Then said I, Lo, I come:
in the volume of the book it is written of me,
I delight to do thy will, O my God:
yea, thy law is within my heart.
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:
lo, I have not refrained my lips,
O Lord, thou knowest.
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;
I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:
I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.


Psalms 40:16
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

Psalm 86:1-4
O sing unto the Lord a new song:
sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name;
shew forth his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the heathen,
his wonders among all people.
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised:
he is to be feared above all gods.
 
salvation is a relationship . Salvation is deliverance from danger or suffering. To save is to deliver or protect. we been called out of darkness into the marvelous light .
 
Psalm 118:14-14
The Lord is my strength and song,
and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous:
the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
The right hand of the Lord is exalted:
the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord.
The Lord hath chastened me sore:
but he hath not given me over unto death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
This gate of the Lord,
into which the righteous shall enter.
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me,
and art become my salvation.
The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner.
This is the Lord's doing;
it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord:
O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.



Matthew 23:39
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
 
Psalm 132:13-16
For the Lord hath chosen Zion;
he hath desired it for his habitation.
This is my rest for ever:
here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
I will abundantly bless her provision:
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation:
and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.


1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:


If you are part of that royal priesthood, that peculiar people, then you should be clothed in salvation, for it is your wedding garment, if you have been called to the wedding. Armor is suitable for warfare, but does not make a wedding garment. Are you sure your garments are in order?

Matthew 22:11-14
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.
 
Isaiah 61:10-13
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my soul shall be joyful in my God;
for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud,
and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth;
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth
before all the nations.

The Scriptures always contain YHWH's Wisdom and Ruah will always use His Word to instruct in YHWH's Wisdom. However, An Extracted Portion presented without a Life Application commentary is, almost, always of no real value to one that has not read through the Scriptures from beginning to the end.

You're missing a great opportunity to fulfill the Great Commission here.
 
Salvation is offered to those who were "chosen and called" (elected) by Father God before the foundation of the world.
(Isn't it obvious that NOT everyone is chosen and called?)
Salvation is only through God's grace (unmerited favor),
but believers can "fall from grace" (and lose their salvation)
for several different reasons!
 
How many of you have gone to Church all your lives just because you were either forced to go by your parents when you were a child or just thought it was the right thing to do once a week? How many times have you walked out the door after the service ended not even remembering what the sermon was, but at least feeling good about yourself for going in the first place? Do you even know what the meaning of salvation is in your own life and that it’s a personal relationship with Jesus? How do you know you are truly saved by Gods grace and mercy that brings salvation to all who will hear God’s calling and act to that calling?

Did you accept Jesus because you were told to out of force or did you accept Jesus out of your own freewill to have that personal relationship with him? Before you answer any of these questions think about them first and be truthful with yourself as only God knows the hearts of his children who are called by his name. Our emotions can be deceiving at times when we allow ourselves to get caught up in the moment, but yet can leave us empty inside when we are left apart from that emotional atmosphere as we go back to our homes.

Gods’ plan of salvation is for everyone who answers his call as we are all sinners and it is only by Gods grace that we are saved for there is nothing we can do of ourselves. Many, like myself, have come to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior without much knowledge and we need to gain knowledge, wisdom and understanding of Gods word by studying through his Spirit teaching us all things rightly dividing the word of truth as we know Gods word does not come back void and will accomplish that which he pleases.

SALVATION – delivered from sin, promise of our welfare

Salvation means to be whole mind, body and soul as we surrender our will to God and allow his will to work in our lives by applying Gods word to every aspect of our lives. This allows us to know the mind of Christ and all the promises of God for our own well being so we can face anything that tries to come against us while here on this earth so we can triumph and be victorious through the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Grace pardons us and mercy loves us unconditionally. Start with the conversation of Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:1-7 to get a better understanding of what it is to be born again and how to shed this old sin nature through repentance.

Personally, I think as humans we concentrate on the wrong thing. We concentrate on the salvation we hope for but in reality our focus should be on whom that salvation comes. In the end it is God's decision who will or will not be saved. What we are called to do is two things:
  1. Love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.
  2. Love each other as ourselves.
That's it! Whether you believe you were saved at some point in your past, whether you are saved now, whether you will be saved at some point in the future, whether salvation is a one-time event or whether it is something that happens over a period of time our focus should be on loving God and each other and let God do the saving.

YHWH has no restriction of time nor of space. Our Elohim is utterly without limit and we must learn to stop trying to place our limits on Him, His Son and the Ruah.

YHWH is, right now, present with me as I type this message for Him as well as being present in both the future and the past... right now!

YHWH is not confined within the Space/Time Continuum He created from outside of it for our existence and convenience.

Many errant teachers have taught and are teaching truths in such a manor that they are, often and by many, misconstrued, such as Predestination. They do this by dividing the Continuous Flow of the message of YHWH into Chapters and verses, nuch to the delight of Satan and his crew.

You see, freedom of choice is also part of Predestination.. As wrong as that sounds, it is what YHWH teaches us, but, only if we can read the Scriptures as they were written and intended to be read.

To believe the Five Point Hyper Calvinist's or the T.U.L.I.P's narrowly focused, divisive interpretation is to demand that YHWH be a mean spirited God, creating men, women and baby children with no hope, destined to and created for no other purpose than to spend their Eternal After-Life in the ever burning, never consuming, Lake of Fire.

My Elohim is not a Capricious, Mean Spirited Ruler of all that is. All of this is, and must be, balanced against 1Tim 2:4, it is the desire of our Elohim that none should perish.

People must cease listening to Satan, receive Ruah (the Holy Spirit} into their hearts and allow Him to give YHWH's meaning to the words found in the Scriptures.

The Holy Bible is a book created by one person and penned by about forty secretaries (Scribes). Because there is nothing, anywhere, that is not the creation/inspiration of Yashuah, ha'Mashiah (Jesus, the Messiah). (John 1:1-5)

We, every one of us must begin to study, both under the direction of encouraging, God led, teachers as well as allowing Ruah, who dwells in their hearts... if they're saved.

Several OT verses say that God desires/prefers to dwell
with those who have contrite and humble hearts.
Scripture says that He sees the end from the beginning,
i.e. all of man's history.
Scripture says that He elects some people for salvation.
Then there's Romans 9.
All of these people ... God predestines one way or the other.
So, what's the problem?
