Salvation

[Lancie]

The idea of salvation is a very important part of Christianity and is closely connected with the idea of atonement. Christians believe that Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross to make salvation possible for humans.
Nature of salvation
Salvation is the act of delivering (or keeping away) from evil or saving from sin. Sin is an act that is against God’s will and therefore morally wrong. In Christianity there are two types of sin:
Original sin – this is inherited from Adam and Eve, the first humans created by God. They broke the perfect relationship between God and humans by disobeying God’s command.
Personal sin – these are an individual’s sins. They are the consequences of a person’s actions. For example, shoplifting would be considered a sin because it goes against a direct commandment from God not to steal.
Many Christians believe that people who die with unforgiven sins will not go to Heaven, and may go to Hell. Catholics believe these people may be sent to Purgatory. For Christians, salvation is a crucial part of having a relationship with God while on Earth, and also in Heaven.
Role of Jesus in salvation
Christians believe that Jesus came to Earth so that humans could receive salvation in a permanent way. Before Jesus, salvation had come from following the laws given to Moses in the Torah. When Jesus died on the cross, his death acted as a payment for the human sins that were a result of people disregarding God’s laws.
By having faith in Jesus, Christians believe they receive God’s grace. This means they believe God has blessed them, which in turn gives them the strength to live a good Christian life.

Why is no one talking about how the church today is flirting with the world and we are growing more and more okay with it.The church should be more and more like the Nazarene,who came to save us all not the celebrity who is idolized.
Pray that you flee from such temptations..

Today's religion and everything is just fucked up, the churches are for gossiping. The people calling themselves Christians who are supposed to act as an example are the worst of all, the pastors nowadays are just I posters. Many of them are after money, the church leaders are after the benefit they get from working in that position it's just a fake world today.
