What Happened? (Lesson - 2)

I Know That I Got Saved,
But What Really Happened To Me?

There is an interesting poster picture of Jesus’ arm and hand reaching out to a little girl. She has beautiful brown hair, sad brown eyes, and a beautiful white dress with a pink bow on the collar. Taking Jesus’ hand in her own, her sad brown eyes looking in the direction of Jesus’ face and pointing to a large wound in His hand, she asks the question, "What happened to your hand?" The wound in His hand is of course the wound from the nail that held Him to the cross that He died on. The cross represents one of the cruelest deaths that a person can suffer. It is confusing to understand how anything good can come out of a cruelty like this, but this is how we are saved. Jesus died for our sins and by Faith we accept His salvation.

Follow this link and read "The Four Spiritual Laws". In a very simple way, it explains to us what happens when we get saved, and why Jesus had to die on the cross for us. Read these four spiritual laws and the scriptures that go with them. Other scripture references are included in this lesson that will help you to understand each law in greater detail.

Law One - Tells about how it is God’s love for us that moved Him to take the drastic measure of allowing His Son to be put to death on the cruel cross. (John 3:1-21; Numbers 21:4-9)

Law Two - Tells about separation from God. This separation from God will last for all of eternity if we do not do something about it. (Genesis 3:1-24)

Law Three - Tells about how God took care of the separation that sin caused. (1 Timothy 2:1-8)

Law Four - Tells about receiving God’s gift of salvation. (John 4:4-26)

NOTE: There is a section in the "Four Spiritual Laws" booklet, on page 12, that deals with the topic we looked at in lesson 1, "Facts and feelings".

God bless you as you continue to grow stronger and stronger in this new way of life.
