Salvation

Many people define salvation as deliverance, and the Bible looks at it from a physical and spiritual point-of-view. In Exodus 14:13, the Bible states "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he accomplishes for you." Here, God is talking about the physical deliverance of the people of Israel from Egyptian armies. Also, Hebrews 2:3 it is the liberation of individuals from the penalty of sin and here the salvation is "so great." In essence, we are saved from God's wrath due to his judgment of sin and this very sin has been seen to separate us from the love of God. When a person sins, it is evident in the Bible that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). Hence we need this salvation to remove our sin. Practically, the pardon we get from God when he redeems us from sin is salvation, which is permanent (Graham, 2013).

Therefore, it should be viewed as a personal relationship with God that needs to be nurtured more through practice. Practicing salvation implies that an individual should be able to live by the commandments as it pertains to different issues. The fact that practicing salvation is not easy, it is not for the faint heart, but those with a strong will and conviction in the spirit. It is imperative for people to understand and comprehend the real meaning of salvation. This deliverance has been able to reach everywhere without having to lose the faith. Regardless of one's sinful nature and history, salvation is meant for anyone who is willing to have Jesus in his or her life. By joining the movement of God's Kingdom, it is mandatory for one to practice what has been written because God gave Moses the commandment's at Mt. Sinai for the Israelites to follow.
