We learn from these verses that God does not want anyone to perish, or to die in their sins. We also learn that even though we are the ones who sinned, God comes looking for us. He loves us so much, that God takes the initiative in bringing about our reconcilliation to Him. That means if you are not a Christian, God is looking for you right now. It may be that you found this page to be reminded that God loves you, and that He wants you to have everlasting life.
Salvation means deliverance from danger or destruction.
Since the Bible makes it clear that all have sinned, then we need to be delivered from the consequences of sin. It's very important to understand that we can't be saved until we first realize and acknowledge that we are lost and need to be saved. Once we acknowledge that we have sinned, then we must repent of our sin. We confess our sins to God, not to man, because only God can forgive. Once we confess our sins, then we simply believe in the finished work of Christ on Calvary.
