James: James 1:18

 James: James 1:18 by ric gustafson

So what is salvation?. Salvation is not from our effort or good works. Salvation begins with God. Without Jesus, we cannot have salvation. We were dead in trespasses and sins. Without Jesus, we are spiritually dead. 

But there is good news. Jesus is the initiator of our salvation. God chooses to give us life. God's Word tells us that we are sinners in need of salvation. The Word of Truth tells us we need salvation. Life comes from death. When we become part of God's family, we will start to bear fruit. Our salvation will result in good works. Praise God's name.
