“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 NIV

In today’s world things are constantly changing. Most people are seeking for something new or fulfilling. Ultimately, we are looking for something bigger than ourselves. We find ourselves challenged by the idea that our life isn’t good enough and we are in need of a change. What we need is an encounter with the love of God.

God’s love is in constant pursuit of our hearts. His desire is to be in relationship with us. We ourselves know how to love because God first loved us. To receive salvation is to understand and accept what Jesus did for us on the cross. Salvation takes place when we decide in our heart to receive his love and claim Jesus is our Lord and Savior.

Our salvation ultimately creates a shift in our lives where we begin to see God in everything. We are called to bring people who are far away from God closer to him. Our lives are building blocks to bring people along on the journey. One of the greats joys in life is to watch God transform lives from the inside out. Seasons come and go and change is inevitable, but it’s through salvation in Jesus that what was once dead becomes alive again.
