Understanding Salvation and Sin: The Path to Redemption

For many Christians, the concept of salvation and sin is central to their faith. Salvation, in Christian tradition, is often seen as an automatic process, but this belief can be misleading. It is essential to understand what it means to be saved from your sins, and how sin is defined within a proper biblical context. This article delves into these topics, clarifying the path to true redemption and the importance of adherence to divine instructions.

Definitions of Salvation and Sin

Salvation is often misconstrued in many Christian circles as an automatic process, achieved through baptism or adherence to certain rituals. However, according to ancient and correct translations of the Bible, salvation is a conscious decision and a life-long journey. As Matthew 22:14 states, 'For many are called but few are chosen.' This means that not all who claim to be saved are fully redeemed.

On the other hand, the concept of sin is not as straightforward as it might seem. The parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25 provides a clear insight. The five foolish virgins, despite filling their lamps, were still excluded from the bridal chamber. This symbolizes that one cannot simply claim to be spiritually pure without living according to divine instructions.

What is Sin?

The definition of sin is defined in 1 John 3, which asserts that 'Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.' In a properly translated Bible, such as the ISR, it becomes clear that obedience to divine instructions is crucial.

Many false churches teach that sin is a series of actions rather than a fundamental disobedience. However, the true definition of sin is disobedience to divine instructions. All other sins are subsets of this primary sin. Therefore, if you disobey once, you are in essence disobeying always.

The Importance of Repentance and Grace

Repentance, often misunderstood as a one-time act, actually means returning to obedience. Grace, in this context, is the time given to make this change. False teachings suggest that grace is a gift, but this is not the true interpretation. Grace is the opportunity to make a conscious decision to obey.

Matthew 5:18 is a clarifying text. It states that heaven must be fulfilled, meaning that every detail of God’s law, from the least to the greatest, must be obeyed. Familiarity with flawed translations, such as the KJV, can be misleading. Proper translations, like the ISR, provide a clearer understanding of these verses.

Adoption and the Role of the Church

Christianity emphasizes that we are adopted by God, and as He takes us in, He looks after us. During this process, it is crucial to obey God and His instructions. The Bible promises that those who are disobedient will be eradicated. If Jesus died for your sins, let it be known that all sins would be eradicated, which is not the case.

Accepting God’s offer of adoption means acknowledging Him as the true savior. Joshua Messiah/Yeshua is the Way, the Door to God, and the Living Torah as stated in John 1:14. The Church's teachings of operating churches, such as the office of Bishop and infant christening, are actually ancient druidic practices.

Conclusion

In summary, true salvation and the understanding of sin are not automatic, nor do they come from adherence to certain rituals. Rather, they come from a conscious decision to obey divine instructions. The KJV is a flawed translation that can mislead, so it is crucial to read from a properly translated version like the ISR. Accepting God’s offer of adoption is the path to true redemption.

Focus on what the Word teaches, not what false teachings might suggest. Let the Holy Spirit guide you on this journey of understanding and redemption.
