What is Salvation?
You’ve probably heard the words Saved or Salvation used by Christians.
What does it mean in this context?
It means saved from our sins.
See, back when God first created the world He created a beautiful garden and placed two people in it – Adam and Eve.
They lived a beautiful and blessed life.
There was no sin.
There was no pain.
There was just joy.
Unfortunately, they made a really bad choice that ended all that.
When God placed them in the Garden of Eden, He told them about two trees that were there.
One was the Tree of Life; the other was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
God made it very clear they could eat of any tree in the garden except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
The enemy came to Eve, disguised as a serpent, to tempt her into eating the fruit of the only tree God had told them to stay away from.
She not only ate it, she shared it with Adam.
When they ate this fruit, their eyes were opened to see the difference between good and evil.
It was at the moment Eve yielded to the serpent’s temptation and ate the fruit that sin entered the world.
Because of this, God made them leave the garden so they would not eat from the Tree of Life.
