SALVATION IS FOR ALL

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 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 vicarious atonement 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 . That mediator must be in the same class as God , just as a president from a third world nation does not qualify to mediate in a conflict between super powers . 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 it so easy 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 us. Jesus Christ 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 accessible and 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 the Holy Spirit and grace to walk in righteousness in Jesus’ name amen.
