Soteria

Last week, a friend of mine quoted a verse from the bible, Romans 1:16 ' For I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes'

According to a dictionary, salvation means the act of saving or delivering, the state of being saved or delivered, a source or cause or means of deliverance. In Christians' faith it simply means that we believe we are saved or forgiven from our sins because of Jesus.

Just today I discovered that salvation or (soteria in greek) has a broader meaning and one of its root meanings is wholeness, complete or soundness. It speaks about the restoration of all things that has been destroyed. If could put it in other words, the Gospel of Christ restores all things. I love that, cause I know there is still tons of restoration work to be done in this life.

On that note, lets help to rebuild Queensland, many lives been affected and we can help.
