Self-improvement Through Biblical Salvation

By Peter K. Martell

Not many people think of the Bible when they think of ways to improve themselves. But the Bible is actually a smart way to go about self-improvement. The wisdom in the Bible is very old. It has been around a along time. About 3500 years to be exact. That's a long time. Therefore, the Scriptures are reliable. If they were not reliable they would have been thrown out long ago.

Salvation: A Life Changing Event

In the Bible, salvation is seen as a pivotal event. It is something that happens to a person that changes them on the inside. Isn't that what self-improvement is all about?  Changing on the inside?  Changing the way you think? I think so.

I have know many people with problems like excessive drinking who report that after the salvation event they no longer have the urge or desire to drink any more, and I know it's true because I live with these people and see that they do not drink. Others report being delivered from strong addiction to drugs of all kinds and this is an overnight event. O yes, there is power in the biblical salvation event.

The Power of Belief in Salvation

One of the reasons biblical salvation is so powerful is that it involves belief. Belief is a very powerful thing you know. Jesus said that if you have belief the size of a mustard seed (that is a very small amount) you could say unto a mountain, "Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea," and if you do not doubt in your heart: it will happen. Belief is a very powerful thing indeed.

Biblical salvation involves belief. Belief is a very powerful thing a human being can do. This leads to self-improvement. Believing in something has a very powerful effect on a human being, thus, bringing about change_ for the better.

Did you know that belief is a function of the human mind? It is something all men can do, and do. Weather you are aware of it or not you believe something: many things. Why not learn to put the power of belief to work for you?

Conclusion

No doubt you are wondering what you should do now. Well if you want to improve yourself give biblical salvation a try. People have been doing it for thousands of years with good success, Why not you?

    If you have made it thus far having read part one and without crying 'heretic' then praise The Lord, for you are almost there ready and armed with a full understanding of The Lord's grace. If, however, you have cried 'heretic' then unfortunately there is nothing I can do for you and unless you repent you will die in your sins, for The Truth can never be heresy.

    Most Christians are not aware of how serious it is to add to what Jesus Christ has finished. It could be the difference between whether or not that person is saved or not. The Salvation that God has provided through Jesus Christ is by grace. "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast (Eph. 2:8-9).

And as soon as those problems arise, it's almost guaranteed that one of the partners is going to suffer more than the other.
