Salvation: Misconceptions and True Meaning

Forgiveness as a condition for salvation leads to a mechanical, misguided faith, lacking true repentance and worship.

### Understanding True Forgiveness and Regeneration: The Misconceptions and Truth Behind Salvation
* 🙏 Many people mistakenly view forgiveness as a condition to receive salvation, believing that their faith itself is a **merit** and that they are **entitled to salvation**.
* 💔 Contrary to popular belief, "no matter how much one believes, if the other party does not forgive, it is **useless**."
* 🛡 Salvation is something given by God from the beginning for people to **obtain eternal life**, and it means **establishing a new relationship with God**.
* 🔄 Biblical repentance involves acknowledging one's wrong way of life and turning to God, rather than simply **feeling regret and remorse for one's mistakes**.
* 🛒 In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church triggered the Crusades through indulgences, which **commercialized heaven and forgiveness**.
* 🌟 "In fact, salvation is simply **agreeing to what God has already done and believing in it**, so it is easy and requires **no merit from anyone**."
* 🕊 The purpose of faith should be to **live for the will and glory of God**, and only through this covenant with God can faith finally **embody the nature of God**.

The gospel that teaches forgiveness between each other is being spread as the key to regeneration. However, forgiveness and regeneration are different issues! Many people who have realized and believed in forgiveness have not been regenerated! If a husband thinks it's okay for his wife to just buy him a luxury bag when he does something wrong, they must be in a terrible state, where the relationship is not based on a personal connection but a mechanical one that can be manipulated with bribes. This is because they see the realization of forgiveness as a condition to receive salvation. They think that their belief itself is a merit and that they are entitled to salvation. Therefore, people believe that since they have believed, their sins have been forgiven, and they are destined for heaven, so they try to reassure themselves by thinking they have already received salvation. Therefore, like in the movie The Murderer, they believe that since they have faith, they don't need to ask for forgiveness from the victim.

However, no matter how much one believes, if the other party does not forgive, it is useless! Eternal life means a new relationship with God has been established, so salvation is something given by God from the beginning for people to obtain eternal life. Repentance is different from feeling regret and remorse for one's mistakes. Biblical repentance means acknowledging that one's way of life and path have been wrong until now and turning to God. In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church triggered the Crusades through indulgences. Those who participated in this war claimed that everyone would be forgiven without exception. This infamous indulgence was the culmination of a fraudulent drama that commercialized heaven in this way, offering the ultimate product to those who wanted to go to heaven while living on earth illegally, sinfully, and indulgently.

The purpose of faith should be to live for the will and glory of God, who created people and saved those who sinned, turning back to Him. When people have this covenant with God and eternal life, faith finally embodies the nature of God, correction happens through truth, and only then can it be distinguished from other religions! In fact, salvation is simply agreeing to what God has already done and believing in it, so it is easy and requires no merit from anyone! Therefore, those who have not learned worship should remember that no one entered Canaan, but perished in the wilderness. Even if those who have not learned worship have the assurance of salvation, they have been rejected by the Lord! It simply means failing in worship that adheres to the laws of the God who saved them!

The Misconception of Forgiveness and Regeneration

The spread of forgiveness is seen as the path to regeneration, but the two are not the same, leading to a misunderstanding for many believers.

Some people mistake the belief in forgiveness as a guarantee of salvation, creating a transactional and manipulative approach to relationships.

This misconception can lead to a lack of accountability for one's actions and a false sense of entitlement to salvation.

The Meaning of Eternal Life and Biblical Repentance

Eternal life is a gift from God, not dependent on human forgiveness.

Biblical repentance is about acknowledging one's wrong path and turning to God, distinct from mere regret.

The Middle Ages' Catholic Church triggered the Crusades through the fraudulent commercialization of indulgences, offering forgiveness for a price.

Faith's purpose is to live for the will and glory of God, leading to eternal life and correction through truth.

Salvation is simply agreeing to what God has done, requiring no merit, but failure to worship according to God's laws leads to rejection.
