How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

In Revelation 11:1-2, the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible describes John being given a reed like a rod and being told to measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. Here's an explanation of these verses:
Revelation 11:1-2 (KJV): "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."
Explanation:
- John is given a reed like a rod, symbolizing a measuring tool or instrument.
- The angel instructs John to measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship in the temple.
- John is told not to measure the outer court of the temple as it is given to the Gentiles.
- The mention of the holy city being trampled for forty-two months could symbolize a period of tribulation or persecution.
The book of Revelation is known for its symbolic language and apocalyptic imagery. The measuring of the temple and the exclusion of the outer court could represent themes of judgment, protection, or distinction between the faithful and the unbelievers. The period of forty-two months is often interpreted as a symbol of trial or persecution or even the length of time the Antichrist reigns.
In the biblical context, it can represent different things depending on interpretation:
- Physical Temple: Historically, it could refer to the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, which was a central place of worship and sacrifice. However, this temple was destroyed in AD 70.
- Spiritual Temple: Some interpret it as a symbol of the Church or the body of believers. In this view, the temple represents the dwelling place of God’s presence among His people.
- Heavenly Temple: Another interpretation is that it refers to the heavenly sanctuary where God resides. This heavenly temple is eternal and not made with human hands.
Ultimately, the meaning varies based on theological perspectives but it does not refer to a physical temple or third temple here on the earth built by human hands.
