What is forsaken, salvation and wicked


I always see this 3 words appear in the book I read about Christ. Today I'm going to find out the meaning.


Forsaken

Often enough, I see this word "forsaken" in Bible and some related books. For example, David crys out "God, why have you abandoned me? Why have you forsaken me?" It means, why God keep a distant, and living David alone to suffer or face the pain by himself. So forsaken means leaving. Just to illustrate further on this, God sometimes seems to be distant away, according to the study, God is not leaving us to suffer, God want us to learn, and face the problem by ourself, and grow to become stronger. God will always be with us in pain or in joy.


Salvation

Salvation - being saved from danger or harm


In the Christian religion, salvation of a person or their spirit is the state of being saved from evil and its effects by the death of Jesus Christ on a cross.


I plan to visit this shop name Salvation sometime this weekend to get a New Living Translation Bible, and some Christian decoration for my house. Not sure whether they sell any of that. But I have been looking for these for quite sometimes.


Wicked

Apparently, there are 2 meanings of wicked which totally opposite one to the other.


1. Wicked is an old fashion of saying things done badly

2. Wicked is also means excellent


I believe what I read is the first meaning I suppose.
