Saved.

Everyone who does not have Christ is lost. What a terrible thought to be separated from God. That is what lost means. Being lost means that you will be separated from your Creator if you do not remedy the matter by being saved. Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Tim. 1:15).

What Jesus wants to do is save you. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:17). To be saved is to be rescued by Jesus. And it is a very simple process.

Some people wonder if they can be saved. But this is a foolish way of thinking. Anyone can be saved because Christ came to save anyone who so desires to spend eternity with Him in heaven. If you will repent of your sins – which means to turn away from sinning on purpose, and decide to live for the Son of God – and trust in Christ as your Savior, you will be saved. “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” the Bible says.

Jesus does not try to save you. He saved you to the uttermost (Heb. 7:25). That means that He saves you as fully as anyone could ever be saved. All the salvation that you need is found in Jesus. All that the word salvation encompasses is in Jesus. He is not enough. He is more than enough. He will bring you from captivity to freedom, from being lost to being saved.

Do not look away from the Cross of Jesus Christ. Do not let go of the hand of our tender Shepherd Jesus. He will save you. He is willing and He is able to save to the uttermost. Be saved. There is no reason not to. God wants you to be saved.
