Salvation and Prayer





John 14:14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

 Many people pray, but it is important to pray the right way. In order to do this, we must understand what salvation and prayer are. If you are grateful for salvation, you will be able to pray with a thankful heart. That is why correctly understanding the Gospel is so important. God prepared everything and called us, so all we need to do is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. There is no need to worry about the future. God promised us that He would raise us as witnesses to the ends of the earth.






1. The nonbeliever’s perspective on salvation and prayer
 Many people say everything comes to an end when you die. That’s why some go ahead and commit crimes. However, the spiritual world definitely exists. Some people believe in reincarnation and talk about former lives and the afterlife, and some believe everyone will end up in heaven. Others believe whatever they experienced through religious rituals is salvation. Idol worship can bestow power on us because the spiritual realm and evil spirits actually exist. That is why it is disastrous to fall into the realm of darkness. If you get addicted to drugs or games you can be spiritually afflicted in a severe way.






2. Salvation and prayer
 The life and thoughts of God’s children who are saved through Jesus Christ are prayer itself. All we have to do is pray in the name of Jesus Christ. It is God who called us, and it is the Holy Spirit that is with us always.






3. The prayer of the saved
 What should the saved pray about? The mystery that God is with them. That’s why David confessed “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want” (Psalms 23:1~6). If you can enjoy this confession realistically, great works will take place. You must also enjoy the content of the Gospel. Enjoy God’s kingdom and the blessing of evangelism. This is the greatest prayer. You must have the correct perspective on salvation and the mystery of prayer in order to be victorious in this chaotic world and receive important answers.






● Forum Topic - Because we are people who will be victorious in this world with the correct perspective on salvation and the mystery of prayer, we must organize our thoughts on salvation and prayer.
