Daily Manna: Salvation For All Nov 06 0 Wednesday 06, November 2013 TEXT: JOHN 4:1-26 KEY VERSE: “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). Salvation is a free gift of God to all. It has to do with a conscious and complete turning away from evil, disobedience and all sinful practices to receive forgiveness and pardon from God. Genuine salvation from sin is only possible and available to those who sincerely repent and exercise faith in Christ’s atonement. The passage today is a dramatic change that occurred in the life of the Samaritan woman. Traditionally, the Jews and Gentiles had no dealings with each other because of racial and religious discrimination. Jesus had no reason to live by such racial and cultural restrictions. He therefore gave the Samaritan woman a chance to hear a message that changed her life completely. Salvation is a free gift of God for all. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). The wages of sin is so heavy and the price too high for anyone to pay. Many people reckon themselves to be Christians who had no record of genuine salvation, and their names not in the book of life. Keeping the ceremonial laws, moral living, religious observances, and good works cannot secure salvation for everyone. We are saved not because of what we can do but because of what Christ has done. Christ paid the price for full and free salvation. The provision has been made available; you can come now to receive God’s free gift which is made available for all. Religion saves no one. It is total repentance from sin and faith in Christ’s substitutionary atonement that brings true and enduring salvation. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Salvation is generously and freely provided by God for all. - See more at: blog.dclmhq.org/2013/11/daily-manna-salvation-for-all.html#sthash.zvRK6pR2.dpuf
