salvation is not a get out of free card
well i guess i'm still pretty amazed by the lack of biblically knowledge on salvation and regeneration and how salvation is simply seen as getting to go to heaven...this being all from youth or really by most people who claim to be Christians.i think why we so foolishly simply think of salvation as simply a free ticket out of hell is from our sinful selfish nature in which we only care about ourself. it's the same reason you can get a bunch of kids to rise there hands and say a prayer and say that they love Jesus, it's not because they really love God or desire him but they love them selfs and this "Jesus" has been presented to them in a way to avoid an eternity of pain and suffering. it's almost like that God saves people because of who we are and he would be unloving to send anyone to hell which is WRONG! Romans 11:36, psalm 79:9,psalm 106:6-9, Isaiah 48:9, Isaiah 63:12, Jeremiah 14:7, and to sum it all up Ezekiel 36:22-2322 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. 23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes." we should worship God not because we get to go to heaven or we get something but because of who he is because of the glorious grace that he has shown us!
