Salvation is the permanent solution Jesus gave for our reconciliation back to the Father. Salvation reconciles us back to the initial communion and fellowship the first man lost has a result sin through disobedience 2 Cor 5:18, Romans 5:10 Salvation breach the gap/separation sin caused, and it brings us to our rightful place in Christ with GOD.
What then is SIN?
Sin is a willing disobedience to the will of GOD. Sin is going against God’s commandment, and this have great consequences which includes spiritual death (Romans 6:23) and an inevitable separation from God.
Isaiah 59: "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear". Fellowship and communion was lost Gen 3:8. Finally the dominion we once had over all things was rolled over to the devil (Luke 4:6)
Where did sin originate from?
Sin originated from the disobedience of the first man. Adam (the first man) was the pioneer of sin Romans 5:12,14. He and Eve disobeyed God and were sent out of the presence of God. Ever since then as atonement been made by animal sacrifices Lev 4:1-2000 which obviously wasn’t a permanent solution to reconciling the sinful nature of man and Holiness of God until JESUS came.
What must I do to be saved?
Out of His abundant love He freely gave us his only begotten son Jesus, The Rev 3:16, Romans 5:8, 3-5, 2 Cor 5:17-18. The only requirement needed for receiving the forgiveness of sins and for a new life in Christ is believing on the Son of God, and by confessing his name (Romans 10:9-10)
