Bible Reading: Romans 5:5-12 KJV
- Romans 5:6 KJV
The Bible teaches that salvation is not something that can be earned or achieved through good works, but rather it is a free gift from God, made possible through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This gift is available to all who believe in Him and accept Him as their Lord and Savior.

In the Bible, we find numerous passages that highlight the importance of Jesus' death in our salvation. One such passage is found in Romans 5:8-9 KJV, which states, "[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
This verse makes it clear that Jesus' death on the cross was not merely a tragic event, but a deliberate and necessary act of love and sacrifice. His death served as a substitutionary atonement for our sins, allowing us to be justified before God and rescued from the eternal consequences of our sin.
Another key passage in the Bible that speaks to the importance of Jesus' death about salvation is found in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, which states, "[3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
This passage emphasizes that Jesus' death was not only in accordance with the prophecies found in the Old Testament, but it also served as a fulfillment of those prophecies. His burial and resurrection three days later further validated His role as the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
In conclusion, the Bible teaches that salvation is made possible through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By accepting His free gift of grace, we can be forgiven of our sins and enjoy eternal life with Him in heaven. As believers, we should be ever-grateful for the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf and share this message of hope with others, so that they too may experience the life-changing power of His love.
