This song to reminds me to let Jesus be in control and I can sit back and watch Jesus do work in the lives of people and my life also.

Pastor AD3 - Void

This Song expresses how I was feeling before I gave my life to Christ completely, but Christ just wouldn't let me give up and he filled the void I was feeling and he filled me with peace, joy, love, and now I'm not longer void!!

My Personal Experience with Salvation!!

I grew up in church but like most kids I never paid attention from when I reached high school I stopped going as regurlarly as I use to. This was due to losing interest and I started becoming more self centered, I became self-centered because tha's when football started taking off so I put more interest in football rather than on Christ. In high school alot more of my focus was also tuned to girls, I would not say that I was popular but naturally I was a leader and I knew alot of people but I fell into the pressures and the urges of what the bible refers to as ''the flesh'' things went down hill from here on and this also affected my grades and my family life leading to me developing an attitude and becoming carless, angry and complacent. At this point relationships became a main focus. This continued on to college, marking the begining of drugs and alcohol  the cycle from high school continued and I would say that I was at a point where I was searching  for answers but in the wrong places at the back of my mind I knew that Jesus was the answer however I had the mentality that I had to get right First and then turn to him. I began running from the true answers, I felt a nudging from God but ignored and kept running. After running and running and getting to the end of myself I realized that infact I needed God more than I thought. It was when I came to Christ and gave myself completely to him and thats when I begin to be changed and I started to hate the things of the flesh. Its an everyday process of being changed and made more like Christ. I still make mistakes and I'm not perfect but I serve the one thats perfect and his name is Jesus Christ.

What is Salvation?

From a theological perspective, to 'save' is to ''deliver from sin''. The theological definition of 'salvation is ''a spiritual rescue from sin and death'' The Bible teaches us that Gods judgement is against us because we are all sinners, However there is redemption through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through him a way has been provided for that  judgement to be lifted and us acknowledging that we are sinners and accepting him as our Lord and saviour. However other religions have their own perspectives of sin but Christianity is unique in presenting Christ as the only means of lifting the judgement through his death, taking it as his own and us remaining as sinless.

SALVATION

Hi,
My name is DaJuan Beard,
In this blog I will be talking about Salvation, what it means, where it originated from with specific references from the Bible. I will share a personal account of what Salvation means to me and conducting interviews with those who claim to have received Salvation.
