Salavation
While we do not require our team members or employees to identify with a particular religion, we do want to share with you the Biblical foundation of the company to ensure that you are fully prepared and equipped to answer any questions posed by our clients, customers, stakeholders, or onlookers.
What is salvation?
The Hebrew definition of the word means:
- deliverance
- welfare
- prosperity
- victory
- save
Some other definitions by Merriam Webster are:
- deliverance from the power and effects of sin
- liberation [freedom] from ignorance or illusion
- preservation from destruction or failure
Why Would Someone Want To Be Saved?
There may be many reasons why someone would want to be saved and/or receive salvation. Though this reasoning is completely personal and subjective, some of the assumed reasons are to:
- live life in peace (John 14:27)
- avoid the destruction that is imminent without God's sovereign protection (Proverbs 2:22 and Revelation 20:10)
- prosperity and fulfillment in life (Psalm 1:1-3)
- physical, mental, and/or emotional health (Jeremiah 33:6)
- true wisdom on the events of the world and beyond (Psalm 25:14)
- everlasting life with God after physical death here on earth (John 3:16 and Revelation 21:4)
How Can I Be Saved?
By simply confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing that He rose from the dead, you will be saved.
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 NKJV
Why Should I Believe That Jesus Christ Rose From The Dead? Why Did He Die and Resurrect?
Again, the answer to this question is subjective and can be answered differently by each person uniquely. This is also a very loaded question that will require the Holy Spirit to continue to unfold to you as you continue to walk with Him, however, we will attempt to answer this complex question with our finite experience and understanding.
Our prayer is that Holy Spirit will unpack and reveal more insights as to the importance of Jesus' death and Resurrection.
Who Is God?
To understand the full nature of God may not be completely possible for us as feeble humans compared to His strength, glory, and overall nature. In simplest terms for understanding, however, God is perfection. He has never made a mistake and never will. He has never lied, stolen, or sinned. Ever. And He never will.
Not only is God perfect, but He is also Holy.
According to the Strong's Concordance the Hebrew definition of Holy means:
- apartness
- holiness
- sacredness
The Merriam Webster definition of Holy is : exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness
Therefore to be in relationship with Him, we also must be perfect and Holy.
because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 NKJV
God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. Psalm 18:30 NLT
"...You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.” Exodus 33:20
What is sin?
Sin is defined as a(n):
- transgression of the law of God
- offense against religious or moral law
- often serious shortcoming
As a summary of the story of the Garden of Eden, sin was introduced into the world when Eve disobeyed God's command to not eat from "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:17 KJV).
While we would love to have a more in-depth discussion on the topic of sin and how it affects our lives more than we realize, the summation of sin is that it leads to death and separation from God.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 NKJV

Scriptures referenced above:
