Salvation

Salvation is not based on one’s ability to get themselves together or earn righteousness. It is a gift from God through his grace and mercy; it is unearned. Romans 10:9‭-‬10 NKJV states, “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”

 

The gift of salvation is instantaneous once you pray Romans 10:9-10. God has forgiven you for your sins and given you a brand new start.


This does not mean that all of your trials, problems or temptations are going to end. You are still human. Although your spirit is born again your mind is not. Living and walking out salvation is a daily process. This is why it is very important from this day forward to renew your mind with the Word of God.
