2 Concerning This Salvation - 1 Peter 1:3-9

We'd love to hear from you. Text us.

Salvation is a subject clouded by confusion.  Prosperity preachers promise salvation from pain & paucity.  Concerning salvation Buddhists urge us to pursue nirvana.  The salvation they seek is from suffering by trying to snuff out the fires they claim cause it: attachment, aversion, & illusion.  Hindus seek salvation through moksha which is liberation from the supposed cycle of reincarnation & release from alleged law of karma.  Indeed the difference between all of man’s religions & God’s salvation is this: religion teaches that salvation, at least to a certain extent, resides within us.  We must do "X" to earn God’s acceptance.  For some that is about abstaining.  I don’t drink, smoke or chew & I don’t go with girls that do.  Therefore, I have earned God’s love.  For others salvation is not so much abstaining but attaining.  I do penance & am generous so as to merit God's favor.  For some it is the travail of travel that supposedly opens the door to God’s eternal chapel so they make a pilgrimage to a particular place.   In the midst of all this confusion, it leaves us asking: What are we saved from?  Who saves us & how does it work?  So let’s turn to 1 Peter 1 & let’s peer into the pages of God’s Word for God’s answers "Concerning This Salvation."
