SAVED? SALVATION? BORN AGAIN ? WHY?

These are the days when we must KNOW the truth - as in real deal - not something someone spoke to us about or we 'understand with our own understanding.' We = meaning those who have been born again and are in new life. Saved, Salavation, Born Again - are you saved, do you have salavation, are you born again?

These are not just words or status of our new life. 

Saved - why?  Saved from the death life we live before we ask Jesus to come into our heart.  Saved because God intended this to be for us (created in His image) - and made the way for us through Jesus Christ, our savior.

Initially we like the prodigal son, come to the point of choosing to 'go home' to live in our Father's house. We come to a point in our lives, young or old, where we have had enough of the junk and yuk, and decide to return to 'Our Father's House'.  In acknowledging our need of God through the 'lacks' that interfere with our life.  

In accepting Jesus we acknowledge God in all our ways - we choose wisely and accept the Love that God has for us always.  Choosing to accept Jesus includes our learning that Jesus paid the complete price that is due for each and every one of us. With the complete price paid, there is nothing to hinder our new life in Christ.

Salvation is a process that each one of us must go through - in becoming born again and entering fully into our new life in Christ.  The cross is God's stamp of payment for all of our sins - all of our needs and desires of our heart.  When Jesus was hung on the cross, it was the ultimate action for our freedom. 

Jesus, the 2nd Adam, is the quickening spirit child of God.  The first Adam was the living soul seed of God.  

When a seed falls into the earth - it dies and is 'born again' - as in new life springs forth out of death. 

When Jesus breathed his last breath - He died and on the third day rose from the dead - or was 'born again'. 

When we accept (ask and believe/receive) Jesus, we receive new life in Christ, and begin our journey as a spirit child of God.
