Salvation Demonstrated Through The South African Flag
Greetings in the wonderful Name of Jesus.
It's my joy and privilege to share the Salvation story in our South African Flag.
Black - We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rom.3.23. Sin causes us to move away from the light and drives us into a dark place.
Red - John 3.16 tells us. "For God so loved the world that He gave us eternal life that whoever believes in Him should have eternal life." The blood of Jesus was shed to take away our sins. Cleanses us of all our wrongs. That is certainly God's gift to mankind. Rom6.23 "For the waged of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life."
White - The blood of Jesus cleanses of all unrighteousness and makes us white than snow. Isaiah.1.18. "Come now lets settle this, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson. i will make them as white as wool."
Green - Anything green represents growth and life. Jesus came not to make bad people good but to give dead people life. Followers of Jesus must represent Christ in their life style. "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples."
John 15:8 KJV.
Blue - Represents royalty. After we receive Jesus as our personal Saviour. We are prince and princesses of the King. Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. 1 Peter 2.9. "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." We share in His royality. Calling us joined heirs in His Kingdom.
Yellow - represents Heaven . Followers of Jesus Christ will enter heaven, a place prepared for those who received the son of God . Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you that where I am you will be also. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass."
Revelation 21:21. Jesus will say to us followers enter into your place of rest. John 8.36, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

This is certainly the wonderful salvation truth that can only be found in the true and living God . Jesus Christ.
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 3:18
God bless you richly.
