How to Accept Christ As Your Savior Jesus... statistics show that this name is mentioned more than 3 million times an hour... Statistics even show that millions embrace Christianity each day, and that Christianity is the worlds largest religion. You surely have heard of Jesus and Christianity before! Understand Gods Holy Nature. Many people do not understand the concept of the Holy Trinity, and some explain it the wrong way. Well, The Orthodox Church (the first established Christian church) (This is not to promote Orthodoxy, it is just to state the first Christians belief about the Nature of God) says: God is one while being in a Trinity. The explanation of this is that The Father, The Son (Jesus) and The Holy Spirit are all one, the three of them refer to one and only one God, not by person, but by power, will and love. The Son has the same power and will as The Father and The Holy Spirit: that is why they are one God, and the three of them cannot be apart in anyway, they complete each other in everything. This does not mean if you pray to Jesus you are only praying to Him, this way, you are praying to God at once (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit). The Father and the Holy Spirit sent The Son to pay the price of our sins, by acceptance of the Son, because again, God is one by will, by power and by love. So when we say that God sent Jesus to earth, we do not mean that God and Jesus are not the same, it is in the Trinity that they are different, but are one at the same time. Seek to understand Gods plan: So, I need to be saved from what, and why? Believing in God and The Bible is crucial to understanding What is a savior? and Why be saved? The Bible is Gods revealed word to mankind, written by people so yielded to Gods will that God chose them to write it. The people who wrote the books of the Bible were inspired (given the words) by God. They all agree in purpose and point to Christ, the Messiah, though they were written over a period of more than a thousand years: The Bible teaches that all people have sin in their lives. Sin is any act that displeases God, as sin separates us from God, who is perfect, such that the payment we are to pay for sin is spiritual death -- permanent separation from God. Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Spiritual Death entered into the world when Adam sinned. Genesis 2:17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eat thereof thou shalt surely die.
