To Be Saved

SALVATION,  Lets talk about salvation.

 Since Hosea is translated Salvation, then, the message God has for his people will be one of salvation. What is salvation?  Some people believe that salvation is  the  "born again" experience. Some people are tought that they are saved meaning being "born again,"  and some are tought that they are born again meaning that they are saved," making salvation and being born again the same thing?

 What is the difference between salvation and the born again experience?  To get a clearer understanding of the two, let's translated the word salvation.  Salvation is translated, to be saved, to be delivered, to be protected, to be preserved,  to be made whole, to be rescued physically or morally.

Salvation and the born again experience should not be lumped together as being one of the same.  One God does, and the other you do, You must be born again of water and of the spirit. But when it comes to Salvation, you can not save yourself, there is only one name under heaven whereby man might be saved and that is the name of Jesus. Only Jesus can save or deliver you.

God's chosen people Israel were not a "born again," people, they did not experience the born again experience, but they did need a saviour  and God spoke through the prophet Hosea and he prophesied about God's salvation plan to his people.   Our Saviour do for us what we can't do.....he saves us.

 Yes, you must be born again, but we also need a Saviour, one to deliver us from our sin; before the born again experience and after the born again experience.  We need a saviour to come to our rescue, fight on our behalf, show himself strong and mighty against our enemy.


We also need a Saviour to free us from the grip of sin even after the born again eperience.  We need a saviour to deliver us from the powers of darkness.  God's people were falling into whoredoms. Hosea prophesied to them about the error of their ways and God's salvation plan that will deliver them. The devil tried to destroy God's people through immorality. But Gods' salvation will save his people.

So, God's salvation is about saving, saving to the uttermost.  Salvation is not the born again experience, it's being saved so that you can enjoy the born again experience. It's being saved to the uttermost in all areas of your life.  If you are  in need of being saved from your sins, to be victorious over your enemies, God's salvation is what you need, he has saving power.  Let him save you, deliver you to the uttermost.

 If you want God's Salvation working on your behalf,  just say,  Jesus come into my life, save me, I believe that you are the Son of God and that you died for my sin, come into my heart and change me, cleanse me, make me new that I can be a living vessel that will serve you, in Jesus name I pray....Amen.  Jesus will deliver you from ALL your enemies.
