The Gift of Salvation

2025-10-20

Salvation is not a reward for good behavior—it’s a gift from a loving Father. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s message has been consistent: “I will redeem you.” Adam and Eve’s fall introduced sin and separation, but even then, God promised a Redeemer (Genesis 3:15). Humanity could not climb back to heaven; heaven had to come down to us. Romans 3:23 reminds us, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That’s the universal truth—our moral efforts could never bridge the gap...

Salvation is not a reward for good behavior—it’s a gift from a loving Father. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s message has been consistent: “I will redeem you.”

Adam and Eve’s fall introduced sin and separation, but even then, God promised a Redeemer (Genesis 3:15). Humanity could not climb back to heaven; heaven had to come down to us.

Romans 3:23 reminds us, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That’s the universal truth—our moral efforts could never bridge the gap. Yet in Romans 6:23, we find the contrast of grace: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

When Christ said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), He declared that the debt was paid in full. No priest, no ritual, no amount of penance can add to the cross. Salvation is not a ladder we climb; it’s a door we walk through—opened by Jesus Himself.
