8/31/2019 0 Comments Understanding the True Meaning of Salvation, I’ve Found the Way to the Heavenly KingdomBy Adi, IndonesiaIn 2013, a Christian friend shared with me the gospel of the Lord Jesus. He told me that we all used to be sinners and that it was because the Lord Jesus redeemed us through crucifixion that our sins were forgiven. Moved by the Lord Jesus’ love, I happily accepted the gospel of the Lord Jesus. At that time, the elder often talked about these Bible verses to us: “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation” (Romans 10:9–10). I was so happy to hear this and felt I had something to look forward to in my faith in the Lord. I believed that since I recognized the Lord’s name, I had been saved and would be taken into the kingdom of heaven when the Lord returned. My wife, however, strongly opposed me because of our different beliefs, and she asked me to make a choice between the Lord Jesus and her. I thought: I have already been saved through my faith in the Lord. I mustn’t leave Him. So in the end I chose the Lord and my wife left me. Despite this, I didn’t become depressed but continued pursuing the truth and living my life in accordance with the creed of Christianity, and I also attended the fellowship and Bible study classes of our church. Not long after I started to believe in the Lord, I overcame my drinking problem which had beset me for years, and I felt very grateful to the Lord. In my free time from work, I would go everywhere praying for the sick with the elder, and visit and serve the brothers and sisters who were in need. I understood the mystery of “salvation.”
