No State of Bliss or Meditation Brings Salvation [Spirituality & Religion]

Why? Because scripture is very clear about the false security of trying to earn our way to heaven. It simply cannot be done:


Bliss is not much good, if sin keeps getting smuggled in. If grace depends on our efforts, it is no longer grace. It seems that the scales of karma leave us with sin on our hearts and a sneaking suspicion that we have violated some ultimately personal standard of right and wrong, everytime we turn around, causing us to constantly please God and fear for our security in God and the gift of salvation. Jesus already accepts us, and invites us to come to Him right now, just as you are!! His love for us is never based, nor contingent upon our performance. Salvation is based on His grace, His work on the cross to cover our sins, through faith...upon our accepting that Jesus is our Savior. Bliss either cannot tolerate us, or it must cease being perfect, so that we can come in.

The punishment sin placed on us, has already been SATISFIED in Christ’s personal sacrifice on the cross. God become man, lived a perfect life, and died the death that we deserved. He was crucified on our behalf, a substitute for us, and a covering, or atonement, for our sins. And He was resurrected, proving that not even death could conquer Him. Furthermore, He promises the same resurrection to eternal life, for all who have faith in Him as their only Lord and Savior (Romans 3:1023, 6:23; 8:12; 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Philippians 3:21). God the Father, himself, approved of Jesus as the only Mediator between God and man, and also as Savior of the world.

Finally, we can know that we are saved. We do not have to rely on some fleeting experience, nor do we rely on our own good works or fervent meditation, nor do we put our faith in a god whom we are trying to "believe into existence." We have a living and true God, a historically anchored faith, an abiding and testable revelation of God in Scripture, a satisfying basis for ethical living, and a guaranteed home in heaven with God.

So, what does this mean for you? Jesus is the ultimate reality. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for our sins. God offers all of us forgiveness and salvation if we will simply receive His FREE gift to us (John 1:12), believing Jesus to be the Savior who laid down His life for ALL. If you place your trust in Jesus as your only Savior, you will have absolute assurance of eternal bliss in heaven. God will forgive your sins, cleanse your soul, renew your spirit, and give you abundant life in this world and eternal bliss in the next world. How can we reject such a precious gift?
