Salvation 2025 | Day 31
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 (NKJV)
There are many things that science cannot fully explain—Love, truth, and meaning. As Rosalind Picard wisely said, “We cannot prove events from past history scientifically; we prove them with historical evidence.” In the same way, the story of salvation cannot be proven in a laboratory, but it is grounded in real history and revealed through divine truth. It is a love story that began before the foundation of the world and was revealed in the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
At the heart of this story is not just love, but suffering. God did not remain distant or detached. He entered into our brokenness. He took on human flesh and chose to suffer with us and for us. In Jesus, we see the God who weeps, the God who bleeds, the God who lays down His life for the undeserving. This is not weakness; it is love in its highest form. The cross is the ultimate revelation of a God who does not avoid pain but uses it to redeem.
This love cannot be measured by scientific instruments. It can only be received by faith. And by faith, we accept the truth that Jesus died in our place and rose to give us new life. The gospel is not a myth or a motivational tale. It is rooted in history, confirmed by eyewitnesses, and carried through generations by the Spirit of truth.
When we accept Christ, something more than forgiveness takes place. We are not only saved; we are empowered. By His Spirit, God seals us, sanctifies us, and strengthens us. He walks with us through our own suffering and uses even our pain to draw us closer to Himself. The Holy Spirit is not just a helper; He is our comforter, our strength, and our guide. We are not left to struggle alone. The One who suffered for us now lives in us.
Perhaps you find yourself in a season of pain or uncertainty. Remember, the salvation story is not about escaping suffering but discovering a Savior who walks with us through it. He understands sorrow. He knows what it means to be rejected, wounded, and crushed. And yet, through it all, He conquered death and invites you into eternal life.
Salvation is more than a moment. It is a daily walk, empowered by the Spirit, shaped by love, and sustained by the presence of the suffering Savior who promises to never leave or forsake us. This is the miracle of grace and the mystery of God’s love.
