“For
if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:10 – KJV)
There
is a distinction between confessing our sins to Jesus Christ and experiencing
cleansing through His blood, and the experience of salvation itself. Many
believers often recall the moment of receiving forgiveness for their sins and
say, “I am saved.” However, today’s meditation verse clearly states: “...being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”
That
means reconciliation refers to the cleansing of our committed sins. If we have
been reconciled to Him, then being saved by His life is even more certain. From
this, we understand that salvation is the complete deliverance from sin.
That is, we must live without being enslaved to sin until the end of our lives.
Jesus
Christ said: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the
servant of sin.” (John 8:34 – KJV)
True
salvation is being fully delivered from the bondage of sin.
This
is not something that happens in a single day. After receiving the experience
of forgiveness, we must continue to fight against sin and overcome it in our
spiritual lives. That is why Jesus Christ said:
“But
he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Matthew 24:13
– KJV)
Dearly
beloved, it is not enough that our sins are forgiven—we must also be completely
set free from them and continue in that freedom until the end of our lives.
Consider
this: A father had repeatedly warned his son not to associate with bad friends.
Despite the warnings, the son continued with his unrighteous friends. One
night, while drunk and misbehaving with his friends on the street, he was
arrested by the police. The police called his home and informed the family.
When the father reached the station, he saw his son sitting there without his
shirt, ashamed.
Seeing
his father, the son cried out, “Father, you warned me many times, but I didn’t
listen. Please forgive me!” The father responded, “It’s alright, my son. I
forgive you.” This is forgiveness.
But
then the father spoke with the officer, paid the necessary bail, and brought
his son back home. This is salvation.
Yes,
dearly beloved, it is not enough for Christ to forgive our sins—we must also be
delivered from the power of sin. We must live in such a way that we do not fall
back into sin. This is complete salvation.
Only
if Christ is formed in us can our body experience full deliverance from sin. As
Apostle Paul said: “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.” (Romans 8:10 – KJV)
Only
Jesus Christ the Lord has the power both to forgive our sins and to deliver us
from them. That’s why He said: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye
shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36 – KJV)
Yes,
beloved, as it is written: “And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
from all sin.” (1 John 1:7 – KJV)
Let
us therefore first confess our sins to Him so that we may be cleansed by His
blood and receive forgiveness. Then let us live in union with Him. As we do, He
will grant us strength to overcome sin completely and help us attain full
deliverance. Then, truly, we shall be saved.
