Salvation!

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Rom 1:16

Our old Biblical term "salvation" is a very rich word with many facets… According to reference litterature and books that I have read during the years the origin words in both Greek and Hebrew are very rich with several different meanings and depth… The word salvation is like a deep well, with lots of water for those that thirst.

In Scandinavia today, altar calls for salvation, salvation prayers and salvation moments are close to extinct… Churches are weak since nobody seems to know who is the seeker, who is a new believer and who has been saved for a long time. This leads to messages that are like a dopey, watered down and lukewarm soup that no one wants to drink of or be satisfied by… God pukes and spiritual seekers flee. Rev 3:16.

The word for salvation in the rich origin text could just as well be translated or related to words like; healing, health, deliverance, security, safety, being sound and being whole…

Friends, I tell you that when a person is saved and I mean, really Jesus-saved, things happen!

Sins are erased and forgotten. Holy Spirit moves in after you are reborn by Him! In the heart there is now suddenly an assurance of eternal life, not just mind knowledge. Both physical and emotional healing processes begin. Many experience an immediate deliverance from all kinds of burdens and for others a gradual process towards total freedom begins. Mind and thoughts become sound. Both a balanced, gradate general impression and perception of reality begins to form.

Back in the day people spoke of a wonderful and glorious salvation. Of course! Salvation through Jesus is radical, deep and wonderful! Help people find salvation this summer!

See ya!
