It\u2019s whereby He rescues humanity from sin, death, judgment, and the kingdom of darkness; reconciles people to Himself; forgives and justifies those who believe; gives them new life through the Holy Spirit; restores them into His image and purpose; forms them into obedient disciples; and grants them the certain hope of resurrection, eternal life, and the coming renewal of all creation under the lordship of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left alignwide has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Humanity faces many serious political, economic, social, cultural, technological, psychological, and environmental problems. Yet beneath them lies a deeper spiritual crisis: humanity has become separated from God through sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left alignwide has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sin has distorted our relationship with God, with ourselves, with one another, and with creation. It produces guilt, corruption, injustice, bondage, suffering, judgment, and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left alignwide has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">God\u2019s answer to humanity\u2019s separation is not merely a new philosophy, moral code, political system, or religious institution. God\u2019s answer is Jesus Christ. Before the birth of Jesus, the angel declared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left alignwide has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.\u201d<br>\u2014 Matthew 1:21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left alignwide has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the Holy Scriptures, to save means more than escaping punishment. It carries the meaning of rescue, deliverance, forgiveness, preservation, restoration, healing, liberation, and being made whole through the redeeming work of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b507c051 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Why Do Humans Need Salvation?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Salvation?
