Jesus’ name means “salvation.”
But what is he saving people from?
Sin.
Living a sinful life leads to many problems. Some are obvious—prison, broken relationships, even death. Others are deeper—guilt, shame, inner turmoil. And beyond this life, sin leads to doom on Judgment Day.
It all adds up.
And it can all escalate.
That’s why it’s best to be free from sin.
Jesus is called Salvation because he saves his people from their sins.
So, to be saved by him,
you need to be one of his people.
Who are his people?
His true disciples.
So if you want Jesus to save you from your sins,
you must become his disciple.
How?
Believe that Jesus is the Savior—
risen from the dead, having died for sins—
your sins, my sins, everyone's.Hold to his teachings.
Live by them.
Not just for a while, but for life.
By doing this, you become his disciple—not temporarily, but permanently.
Once you are his,
keep holding on.
Remain his disciple.
Keep to his teachings.
And he will keep on saving you.
