SALVATION IS POSSIBLE FOR ALL MEN
By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Luke 3:6 “And then all people will see the salvation sent
from God.'"
The word ‘Salvation’ used in this scripture is the Greek word ‘soterion’
and it means defender or defense. It is
likened to a legal counsel sent to defend on in a case against a person in a
court of law.
Sin is the
contravention of God’s holy laws and all
it takes to be a sinner is to break one law . James 2:10-11 “For the person who
keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of
God's laws. For the same God who said,
"You must not commit adultery," also said, "You must not
murder." So if you murder someone but do not commit adultery, you have
still broken the law” therefore going by
this principle nobody can have access to heaven through any of the world’s
religions including religious Christianity which requires obeying laws
instituted by founders and church elders .
The only cure
to the problem of sin is a unilateral and universal forgiveness and this can
only be made possible by a savior . This
savior must be able to meet the demands of the laws of God and be able to serve
as a substitute for mankind before the judge of the universe. He should also be
able to bear the sins of many and carry the burdens of humanity. He also must be able to serve as a mediator
for mankind . Only God can fulfill these demands for he alone can forgive sins
and He did this through the sacrifice of His symbol of authority (Jesus
Christ) over 2000 years ago.
Salvation is a
gift to all and so simple to be saved. It is more difficult to be a sinner than
to be righteous . Salvation is as easy as acknowledging the need for a savior and
consciously asking Jesus Christ to be your lord and savior, I took this step on the 31th of
December 1987 at the Victory Christian
Church Lagos and my life has not
remained the same. Salvation is for all regardless of your sins , before God,
sin does not exist in sizes , therefore , the so-called worst sinner is as
qualified as the next person. Acts 2:21 says “And it shall be that whoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring, and worshiping the
Lord — Christ] shall be saved .” [Joel 2:28-32.] AMP the scripture says whosoever
(terrorist ,rapist ,thieve ,child molester, drug baron, false prophet etc) there
is no limit to who can be saved except Satan and demons . Rom 10:13 says For
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Salvation is as easy as calling on the name
JESUS , wherever you are now shout the
name Jesus and salvation shall be yours . He is our defender in God’s righteous
court . He declares us not guilty of any crime Satan – the accuser levels against.
Jesus does not remind us of our sins rather He reminds us of the price that has
been paid for our justification.
It is God’s will
for all mankind to be saved , unfortunately , many will miss heaven by their
choice to achieve salvation by their religious ways and self effort . The consciousness
of the judgment day dwells in all of us through our conscience, however, only a
savior can deliver us from the coming wrath of God upon mankind. God wants
everyone to be saved and has made the process affordable to all ( 1Tim2:4,Titus
2:11-12, 2Pet 3:9,Rom 10:9)
Prayer : Heavenly Father , forgive me of my sins against you,
I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation .I receive as
lord and savior and receive grace to overcome the works of unrighteousness in
my life in Jesus’ name amen.
