An outline of salvation and the relationship between man and God
The diagram below illustrates the relationship between man and God and ways in which
salvation can either be gained or lost. While many people think that salvation involve the
direction that the peoples’ souls take when they die, that is heaven or hell, in actual sense this is
not the case (Kostenberger & O'Brien, 2017). In actual sense, salvation is the manner in which
God restores our relationship with Him when we are on earth and this determines our destiny
after death.

Describe The relationship between man and God are weakened by sin which acts as a
chasm. In fact, the gap created between God and man is so wide that no bridge
can fill it (Vine, 2015). Man has severally tried to close this gap through good
deeds and building of a tower but this falls apart within a short time.
Analyze Basically, the above outline indicates how sin separates man from God. On one

side of this outline, there is God , where He provides eternal life while on the
other side is man, where there is eternal death. If man still dwells in in earthly
things like wealth, sex, and greed, then such factors will block them from
obtaining the mercy of God and hence the inability to attain eternal life
(Lindsay, 2013). Sinful nature is condemned in the Bible just as Romans :23
indicates that all people have fallen into sin. This means that there is a need for
man to seek God through repentance so as to be forgive n their sins. Moreover,
Romans 6: 23 indicate that the wages of sin are death. This verse also
emphasizes the degree at which God, through His holy book, the bible, hates
and condemns sin.
Reflection Based on this outline concerning sinful nature an eternal life in a bible based
Christian view, I believe that I am able to relate the huge difference which
exists. I have understood that there are simple things in this world which,
although essential for survival can be a cues of being sinful. For example,
things like education, greed, lust and property are among factors that can make
man to sin. I have also learned that since od is merciful, He is always ready to
welcome us in His heart, only when we stop our sinful nature (Smith, 2015).
There are several biblical quotes which quotes which criticize sin and its effects
on the eternal life. I have therefore learned on how to live peacefully according
to the ways of God through praying, repenting, helping the needy and loving
God. These virtues will be of great significance as far as eternal life us
compared. In this outline, it has also been possible for me to understand the role
of Jesus in the salvation history. It is only Jesus Christ, that God found worthy

and capable of bearing all the sins of man by dying on the cross. I feel that I can
comfortably explain to my colleagues and class members the differences that
exist between salvation, man and God.
