People have many different belief structures.

Some may say that they believe In God, but not really Know God.
Many people go to church and call themselves Christians, but they really are not. Being a Christian means a whole lot more than simply attending a service of some kind or being religious. You can park your car in a garage but that does not mean that you are a car. You can go to McDonald's but that does not mean that you are a hamburger, so being a real Christian means having a personal relationship with God. It means having a life-changing experience after having met the life changer...

Others do not believe in the existence of God at all. How sad. They don't just miss out on eternity with Him, but a very interesting life in the here and now.

It is very interesting to find that many scoffers and those who deny any belief in eternity and a God of any kind will suddenly cry out to Him or even curse the name of Jesus when faced with serious situations, such as when facing death.

In this presentation, I ask one simple question. "Do you believe"?

The choice is yours...

Salvation is the central theme of the Gospels and apart from certain doctrinal issues, I’d say that it is the overall message of the whole New Testament.

The Old Testament refers to salvation 119 times and the New Testament is mentioned 169 times, so it must be important.
It is not a religious phrase, but is very relevant to the issues of life, both in the here and now in this present time and in the time to come.

People often say that they do not believe that there are such places like heaven and hell are real, but a split second after this present life is finished, every human being on earth will find out. Why take the risk? You can know for sure in a few moments from now if you believe and act on what I share.

There are various meanaings for the word salvation.

They include deliverance, health, help, welfare, safety, victory, savior, defend, avenge, rescue, preservation and of course...salvation.
Salvation refers to-

• Deliverance from danger (Exodus 14:13-14)
• Victory over enemies (1 Samuel 14:1-23)
• Healing of the body (Acts 3:6; 4:12)
• Forgiveness of sin (Luke 19:9; Romans 10:9-10; Psalm 38:18-22; Psalm 51:1-13; Psalm 79:9)
• Freedom from prison (Philippians 1:19)
• Deliverance from captivity (Psalm 14:1-7)
• Deliverance from wrath (John 3:36, 1 Thessalonians 5:9) and more...

It is simply a matter of making a change or of choosing the free gift of salvation that God offers us. Because it is a free gift, there is nothing we can do to earn it. In fact trying to do the good deeds and charitable acts associated with religion offends God. There are many scriptures that tell us this. Here is one taken from Ephesians 2:1-10:

Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.
But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)
For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.
So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

You and I were born as descendants of Adam. When he and Eve ate that piece of fruit iun the garden of Eden, they did what the bible describes as "falling short of the mark". It is like aiming an arrow at a target miles awayfor you, only to have it land one inch away. Many scriptures like Romans 3:23 explain it. See also Romans 6:23.

We have a solution. It is seen in John 3:16

God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

This is basically what salvation is about.
