Understanding of Salvation

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

What’s your understanding of salvation? Well, for far too many of us, our thoughts of salvation have been reduced to something like raising our hand at the altar call, "accepting Jesus", and then making God a part of our lives to help us and to bless us. Well, not only does this rob God of His due glory, we rob ourselves of the real blessing and fulfillment that comes from subverting our will to His—making Him Lord of our life. Jesus didn't die on the cross to simply give us a “get out of Hell free card”; He died to restore us to Him and to completely transform us to be like Him. We have work to do while we live out our days here! In fact, Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are specifically created to do good works that God has planned for us. One of those good works is to share our faith with others. Need help? Well, check out the resources we have by visiting our website at www.sharelife.today. That’s www.sharelife.today.
