Welcome to 3:16 Church

Now let’s dive into the 10 benefits of salvation and a bible understanding

of why salvation is important:

​

1. Peace with God (Romans 5:1)

In salvation, we restore peace between us and God. Apart from salvation, sin also distances us from God. If we believe in Jesus Christ, we are reconciled with God and can rest easy. This peace is not just an emotion but a profound awareness that we are no longer under God’s wrath because there was contention between us and Him.

 

2. Access to God (Romans 5:2a)

Direct Access to God: Another incredible advantage of salvation is that it allows us the right to come directly before God. We are no longer separated from God on account of our sins. If we trust Him, we are instantly allowed to go before God without fear, without that barrier Jesus tore down for us by dying on the cross. We can communicate with him to pray, worship, and be in his company without concerns about rejection.

 

3. Hope in God (Romans 5:2b)

Then salvation also has the element of future hope, not some fanciful hope that maybe things will get better, but a certainty and sure anticipation grounded in God’s promises. Those gospel hopes are given to us (Titus 1:2) and will always remain with us: the hope of eternal life and heaven and that God is doing everything for our good.

 

4. Victorious Through the One Above (Romans 5:3–4)

With salvation, we are overcomers of our trials. Though adversity fills life, we can persevere through faith and holiness to attain salvation. Through suffering, we are made mature, and our hope is amplified. We draw on the strength of God to emerge triumphant.

 

5. Love of God (Romans 5:5a)

The only condition for experiencing this unconditional love of God in a heart open to it is salvation. The Holy Spirit reveals that God loves us more than we ever understand. It is not because of what we have done that no one can boast that he made this possible; instead, grace comes through faith and love from a God who loves us, regardless of our works or behavior.

 

6. Holy Spirit from God (Romans 5:5b-8)1615

Arguably, one of the best things about salvation is the Holy Spirit. When we are saved, God puts His Spirit inside of us, which empowers us to live in a way that honors Him. The Holy Spirit leads us, comforts us, convicts us of sin, and helps to strengthen our faith.

 

7. Deliverance by God (Romans 5:9–10)

We are saved from God’s wrath. Sin deserves punishment, but Jesus was punished in our place for it. So, instead of being subject to deserved punishment, we are delivered.

 

8. Joy with God (Romans 5:11)

We hear songs from the ends of the earth, the glory of the righteous One, and salvation. This is not just fleeting happiness; it is a profound, enduring joy in the grace and love of our salvation. No experience of life can rob us of this joy, for it is based upon our relationship with God.

​​Importance of a Daily Bible Reading Plan

​

If you are saved, reading the Bible is the most important way to improve and grow your faith in God. 

Note that most of your faith will only start from there. 

A daily Bible reading plan will help you draw near to God’s Word, which is needed for spiritual growth. 

The Bible, as we know it, directs how God expects us to live so that we do his will on earth.

It can be easy to lose track of practice without a plan, but regular Bible study can help further one’s relationship with God and confidence in his will.
