🩵🕊️ Salvation Vs Symbolism

📖 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” – Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)

📚 Context:

Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus reminding them that salvation wasn’t earned by rituals or outward acts but received through faith. In a culture full of temples, traditions, and sacrifices, he redirected their focus to the inward transformation of the heart by God’s Spirit.

💬 Reflection:

Salvation isn’t a church membership, a ritual, or a ceremony—it’s a rebirth inside the soul. Baptism, communion, and worship are beautiful symbols, but they can’t replace the spirit that changes how we think, speak, and live.

Many honor God with their lips but never invite Him into their hearts. True salvation is not what you do publicly—it’s who you become privately. When grace enters the heart, actions follow naturally.

🙏🏽 Prayer:

Lord, remind me that salvation begins within. Purify my heart, renew my thoughts, and let my faith show through the way I live. Keep me from blind symbolism and help me walk in true transformation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
