Sin, Salvation and the bit in between.

Today we have a guest blogger, Tash Lovelace from Eaglehawk! :) She has helped us put together todays blog. Enjoy...

Last week we mentioned sin…

Have you thought some more about it? What do you think? When we think about what kind of people sin we often think about really bad stuff and really bad people…

Well actually, everyone sins, even you.    

We mentioned a few things about what happens when we sin last week but here’s a re-cap…

When you sin you are hurting yourself your friends and even God. You may not realise it but you are and after you have sinned there is almost always regret.

Freedom from sin makes us happy…

Freedom from sin gives us relief…

You feel happier about yourself when you don’t have to worry about shame…

Our friendship or relationship with God can be restored. But what saves us?

How do we have a restored friendship with God? Sit down, pray and ask God to forgive your sin, be willing to let the rubbish in your life go and let God guide you to a life free of sin.

Romans 10:9-10 reads; ‘If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.’ 

What do you think about that?

So, salvation, how do you get it?
Salvation is not inherited from you parents or family and it’s not found within a church. Salvation is a choice that only you can make. God offers salvation to all humanity in love but we can only receive it if we turn to him only you can choose salvation.

Sin can control us and bring harm into our everyday lives BUT God offers salvation because he loves us.  This salvation brings us Life, freedom and a relationship with god. To accept this salvation we must believe that Jesus died and returned to life to save us all then confess it with our mouths.

If you have never done this before perhaps take a moment now to speak to God about the rubbish in your life, give it over to Him and ask him to give you life. Let us know what happens!
