GOD is Salvation

Easter 2025. 

I have known for years that JESUS is the Greek version of the Savior's real name, YESHUA. 

Many of you know that YESHUA in English is Joshua. Both names mean "GOD is salvation" and more literally "YESHUA is Salvation" or "JEHOVAH is salvation."

It struck me this Easter morning that the name YESHUA does not mean:

1. Christianity is salvation.

2. Mormonism is salvation.

3. Religion is salvation.

4. Catholicism is salvation.

5. Your charismatic leader is salvation. 

5A. Your 100 year old prophet is salvation.

6. Your books of scripture are salvation.

7. Your good works are salvation.

I am the biggest sinner that I know. I do far less good than I should and far more bad. I know what is right and wrong thanks to the Light of CHRIST placed in me (and everyone) at birth. That Light is my conscience. I need to do a better job of listening to that Light.

Most likely I will be missing out on Exaltation because of lack of truly following JESUS/JESHUA/JEHOVAH with consistent unselfish behavior.

However, I know I will not be missing out on Salvation, because of  the infinite efforts and suffering of JESUS. 

That is something worth celebrating every day of the year.

GOD is Salvation to anyone who sincerely acknowledges that supreme truth.

Just to end this short piece with crystal clarity.

1. No religion is salvation.

2. No person is salvation.

3. No book is salvation.

The 3 greatest words in the history of the world are,

"YESHUA is Salvation!"
