What makes our soul well? Salvation. Where do we find salvation? It’s not in being good, in church membership, or following any number of man-made rules; it is found in Jesus Christ. Our lives change eternally when we acknowledge we need a Savior, proclaim He is God’s Son who took the penalty for our sins, then walk in obedience to Him. Repent. Believe. Obey. God made salvation so simple, even a child can comprehend it. I made that choice when I was eight years old, and walking these many decades with Him has been a blessing beyond description. Do you know Jesus? Is it well with your soul? I pray “It is well with my soul” is your song, too.
