THIS GREAT SALVATION! (1)

The Great Mystery Of Our Faith
1 Timothy 3:16 NLT
“Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith [of godliness]: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory.”
I LOVE this scripture, as it magnificently summarises the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ! It unveils and outlines the mystery of our faith, and helps us to see the grandeur of the entire redemptive story of Jesus Christ!
Hebrews 2:3 NLT
“So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?”
As much as I love this scripture, however, I sometimes cannot help wondering whether I fully understand it. I believe that this is also the dilemma of many, many believers. We have not fully grasped and comprehended the enormity and greatness of the salvation that was accomplished for us when God became man, and died to ransom, redeem and reconcile us to Himself.
As we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I thought we could pause our series of teachings on Growing Deeper In Prayer, and return to the narrative of our great salvation, to remind ourselves of what Jesus Christ actually did for us. This is especially important because the time has come for us to be true witnesses of Jesus and share the Gospel accurately and in power. ( Acts 1:8 )
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED…!
Romans 3:23 NLT
“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”
Let us begin our narrative with the fact of SIN. No matter what you believe, the Bible is very clear about our relationship with God. ALL humanity was born under the power and control of sin and has sin in our hearts. For that reason, our relationship with God was broken and severed, and we were disconnected and distanced from Him.
The Bible is very clear that every human being was born a sinner; no one is exempt. We were all born with the seed and nature of sin inherent in us. This is endorsed by the popular saying, “No one teaches a child to sin or err.”
Psalm 51:5 TPT
“Lord, I have been a sinner from birth, from the moment my mother conceived me.”
However, one might ask…. What if I am good and kind, and do good things? What if I don’t swear, talk about people, and I am not nasty or horrible? What if I don’t do drugs, smoke or drink? What if I don’t fornicate or commit adultery? What if I don’t tell lies, steal or cheat? Am I still a sinner…?
Yes, you are, and we all are! The Bible describes all human beings as sinners and says we have fallen short of God’s standard. Even our best, kindest and most generous works are not counted as righteous by God and have no value before Him.
Isaiah 64:6 NLT
“We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.”
FOR REFLECTION
Ponder over these words. Do you understand what they mean? Can you see the gravity of the human condition without Christ? Begin to thank God for Jesus Christ and the great salvation He accomplished for us!

Fulfilling Our Theme For 2026: “BEHOLD JESUS CHRIST”
“When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. [13] And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. [14] His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. [15] His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. [16] He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance.” [Revelation 1:12-16]
