JESUS SAVES -FROM WHAT? - Why We Need to Be Saved

"Man born of woman, is short-lived and filled with trouble.  He comes up like a blossom and then withers away; he flees like a shadow and disappears." - JOB 14:1, 2. 

From earliest times, people have dreamed  about how wonderful it would be to live youthful healthy lives forever. Sadly, though, the cold reality is this:  We are mortal. The above words of Job spoken more than three thousand years ago, still holds true today. 

The desire to live endlessly is strong, and it is universal. The Bible tells us that God has put in our hearts a longing for eternity as well as a desire to comprehend it.  (Ecclesiastes 3:11)  That being so, does it seem reasonable to you that a loving God would put a desire in us that is impossible to achieve?  If your answer is no, you are right.  God's Word calls death and enemy and promises that it "is to be brought to nothing." - 1 CORINTHIANS 15:26.

There is no doubt that death is an enemy.  No sound person would welcome it. When danger approaches, we dodge, hide, or flee. When we get sick, we seek ways to get well. We do everythig we can to avoid things that could cause us to die.
