Jesus Saves: Salvation Scriptures and Prayer

One of my favorite hashtags to use on social media is Jesus Saves (#JesusSaves).

But I realize not everyone understands what the phrase means.

Because before I understood my need for salvation and a Savior, I only knew a little about Jesus.

And I didn’t understand God’s story in sending Jesus, His Son, to die for me.

But after Jesus saved me at sixteen, my story became a God story.

First, the term saves carries the connotation of a rescue from something or someone.

Second, we need a rescuer, the one who saves, the savior.

According to the Bible, the gospel message is the foundation of these main essentials:

Jesus. The Savior who loves and takes away the sins of the world.

Salvation. Eternal life provided through the bloodshed of Jesus.

Eternity. Spiritual life after this physical life in either heaven or hell.

Jesus. The Savior who loves and takes away the sins of the world. Share on X

So let’s look at a list of scriptures from the Bible that show us our need for salvation and how Jesus saves us.
