Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this page is to study the concept of salvation and what it means. Most Christians seem to believe that once they are 'saved' they have their ticket into heaven. The Scriptures do not seem to support this notion but rather suggest that salvation merely means you won't burn in the lake of fire for eternity. I also want to show where salvation is a gift giving to non-Hebrews/Israelites and is something that is available to everyone who believes and obeys the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
Saul was anointed king of Israel by Samuel (1Samuel 10:1). But then he turned from doing the word of YHWH and did 'his own thing' as he saw fit and his kingdom was taken from him. He died by committing suicide. I think this is an example of losing your salvation. Saul was definitely looked upon with favor by YHWH but because he became a 'doer of iniquity' he fell out of favor and was punished.
