| Salvation. Eternal life. Nothing special that
not everyone has, but it is something that everyone could have. You just
have to be in Christ and remain faithful.
So many good things are yours when you come into Christ. You receive
eternal life. I say receive because you cannot earn salvation. It is a
gift from God.
This gift was God’s Son, Jesus. He sacrificed his life so that we
would have salvation. He died on the cross to wash away our sins, even
though he was pure and sin free. |

Romans 5:8 shows how much he loves us. "But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us."
To me, it is amazing that someone would love me so much as to give
their life for me while I was still a sinner. Christ’s death was all
part of a plan. The plan to give us eternal life.
There are five steps to salvation: preaching, believing, repenting,
confessing and baptism. Salvation is a gift from God. |

We need Christ to live. Without a map, how
will you get to where you are going? Without a pattern, how would you
make a dress? Without water, how will a plant grow?
Christ is the water, the pattern and the map. He gets you where you
need to go safely. He lets you live.
We all need to do our best to have faith and stay in Christ to reach
salvation.
