IT’S A COMPLETE PACKAGE
(Salvation Is All-Encompassing)
TO THE BIBLE
Romans 10:9 AMP C
“…If you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
LET’S TALK
When you purchase a flight ticket, the airline company isn’t just responsible for taking you to your destination; they also render some other services to you before, during and after the flight. For example, for some high-class airlines, they have flight attendants whose job is to make you comfortable and cater to you while you fly. For such airlines, you’re never asked to pay separately for their services. The flight ticket covers the entire cost for meals taken and other facilities used during your travel. It’s a complete package.
This is what your salvation is all about. When you come into Christ, you enter into the kingdom of God, where all things are yours. The word “saved” in our theme scripture is translated from the Greek word “sozo,” which means “to save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, make complete, etc. It’s a word that encapsulises everything that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ have made available for mankind.
God gave His Son Jesus to die in your place, so that you may have eternal life – the God-kind-of-life. As a result, prosperity, divine health and healing, spiritual wholeness, favour, wisdom, and many other untold blessings have become your present-hour possession. They automatically became yours when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and declared His Lordship over you. What you received at that point wasn’t a religion; rather, you received the very life that makes God who He is – Zoe – and it came with everything you will ever require for victory.
GO DEEPER
John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Colossians 1:12
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
PRAY
Dear Father, I thank you for the grace you bestowed upon me to receive salvation by faith in Christ Jesus. I’m blessed, and I function in the overflowing goodness of this glorious salvation. Now I commit myself to sharing the good news of Christ and the wonderful benefits He’s made available to every human person, Amen.
