Jesus Saves
Mat 1:21 “And she
will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save
His people from their sins.”
Everything that God
has for Christians is under the umbrella of “forgiveness of sins. Because our
sins have been forgiven then we can have a complete and perfect salvation
that covers our total being or life (body, souls, spirit and mind).
The most important
thing about salvation is the fact that our sins have been forgiven. 1 John
2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but
also for the whole world. Christ died on the cross to save us from sin, buried,
and resurrected to give us eternal life. Jesus died for everyone and the only
requirement for salvation is to believe.

John 3:16 “For God so
loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Those who believe in Jesus and
His gospel are saved and have eternal life.
What does salvation
include or what all did Christ die for? Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those
who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of
the soul. When we believe in Christ then our souls are saved. God gives
us peace, joy and love in our hearts as well as eternal life.
What else does salvation
mean? Romans 6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him (Jesus).
Romans 6:4 Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life (new nature). Our old nature was
crucified on the Cross when Christ died and after Jesus was resurrected then He
gave us a new nature that does not give in to sin but lives in the
righteousness of God. Christians become new people.

What else does salvation
have? Mat 9:2 then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When
Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your
sins are forgiven you.”
Mat 9:5 “For which is
easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
Mat 9:6 “But that you
may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said
to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
Mat 9:7 and he arose
and departed to his house. Salvation is not only our souls have been saved
but our bodies also. When someone sins have been forgiven then their body is
healed also. 1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the
tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose
stripes you were healed. Christ death on the cross gives us healing for our
bodies.
Salvation
includes our spirits. Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself (Holy Spirit) bears witness
with our spirit that we are children of God. Even our spirits are renewed because
of the work of the Cross. Jesus saves!
The salvation
of God touches our minds also. Ephesians 4:23 and be renewed in the spirit of
your mind, Ephesians 4:24 and that you put on the new man which was created
according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 1 Corinthians 2:16 we
have the mind of Christ. We think like Christ when we become Christians and
that is why we read and live by God’s written Word.
Salvation
includes freedom from curses and blessings from God. Gal 3:13 Christ has
redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is
written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”,
Gal 3:14 so that the
blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. In Abraham’s day, he was the
richest man on the face of the earth and he had great health living to about
120 years. That is a good blessing to have.
Salvation
gives us freedom from the devil’s workings in our lives. Col 2:14 and having
wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was
contrary to us, And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the
cross.
Col 2:15 having
disarmed principalities and powers (evil spirits), He made a public spectacle
of them, triumphing over them in it (the cross). Hebrews 2:14 that through
death He (Jesus) might destroy him who had the power of death, that is: the
devil.
