-Strength for Today- “Jesus is The Our Source of Salvation.” - Hebrews 7:25.

     On the face of the earth, there’re only two different types of people. And “culture,” nor does “ethnicity” aren’t the determine this “diversity,” “but sin does.” Even though God has “demonstrated His love toward the whole human race, 

There's still a multitude still “locked down” in “sin’s den of inequity,” and willingly delay their response to the gospel thinking that: 

1. They’re good enough; they don't think that God will accept them, and 
2.  Those who think they have to get their lives in order before they can obey the gospel. 

    But such “depressing, “despairing” “depression” must be set aside. Because “salvation” isn't based on “human imagery or “merit,” because “... all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23), and because of that “flaw,” “There’s none righteous, no not one” (Romans 3:10), because “Destruction and misery are in their way,” and the way of peace have they not known” - Romans 3:16-17.  

   So, “salvation” conclusively is “the “unconditional love of God,” that delivered us from the consequences of sin. It’s the process of crossing over from “spiritual death in Adam,” to spiritual life, in Jesus Christ. Once that transaction happens, God promises over and over, to never "leave us or forsake us" - Hebrews 13:5c. Because when you “...confess with our moth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. –Romans 10:9. 

  With this confession of faith, we’re eternally saved. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation,” (Romans 10:10), because based on God's promise, “He’ll never leave us,” once “we’re born again” - John 3:3. 

    We can believe His Word, because "...it is impossible for God to lie" (Hebrews 6:18), and when He saves, "He is able to save to the uttermost...,” (Hebrews 7:25), So, we have His assurance that “by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:8-10.
