What Does It Mean To Be Saved?

I know Max Lucado has been around a long time writing great material but recently I read one of his books and became a fan.

This is something he wrote in a devotional for today and I wanted to post it.

What does it mean to be saved?  I think the best answer to that question is John 3:16:   “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”


Who’d watch someone they love step toward a pit and not stop them before they plunged into darkness?  God loves you so much, he wants to save you—from the world, from Satan, from yourself!  But the debt is too big to pay on your own!  So Jesus did all the work two thousand years ago on a cross!  So, what’s next?  Believe!  Believe that Jesus died for you and me.  Our sin bill—paid in full!  You are set free—to enjoy life eternal with your Savior himself!
