SALVATION – THE MIRACLE FROM GOD

Salvation is also the most amazing miracle that we get to see up close throughout our lives as believers. That we were even saved is in itself a miracle of God’s grace, and those around us who are saved are also part of a constant stream of miracles we get to see and touch personally through life. Getting to disciple a miraculously saved individual is such an encouragement for our faith and walk.

From God’s perspective all humans are born into this world infected with a blinding, crippling virus that left alone: leads to eternal death in the darkness and endless pain. So as God looks down He sees us all sitting blindly in the dark on the edge of a deadly chasm. Salvation is when He opens our eyes and turns us from sinful darkness-lovers: to God-loving and following saints.

God Himself has come down to this Earth from the start seeking out Adam and Eve in their sin. Then He sent a series of prophets and preachers, calling blind sinners to come to the light of God, who stretched from the Pre-Flood world through the birth of Christ.

Followers of God always upset the followers of the darkness of sin and spiritual blindness. God’s salvation brings to life the spiritually blind and dead always:

TRAUMATIZES THE UNSAVED

When the light of the Gospel shines into the hearts and minds of the blind and paralyzed lost sinners: they come alive, being released from both their paralysis and blindness. This is unsettling and shocking to all the blind and paralyzed sinners around them. We see this most clearly in Christ’s ministry.
