This small study and overview on Salvation will give you a guide through scripture on the necessity of being saved. The study will give you guidance to go through your Bible and give you a start in knowing different aspects of salvation. 

Definition: The word salvation simply means deliverance. It was commonly used to describe a person who is delivered from danger that threatens him.

Example: A person saved from a drowning

A. The person to be saved was in danger

B. Someone saw his peril and went to his rescue

C. The rescuer was successful in his mission

 

1. Salvation is a necessity

A. Mans sin

Mans sin nature is a fact! In the Bible man is described as a sinner, needing forgiveness; lost, needing found; doomed, needing deliverance; guilty, needing pardoned; spiritually dead, needing life.

Romans 5~:12,18,19; Ephesians 2:1-3; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4; Mark 7:20-23

B. God's Righteousness.

God is holy and must punish sin. Exodus 34:6-7

God has revealed His hatred of sin and His sentence against those who die in their sins - eternal banishment. John 8:21-24; Luke 16:22-31

Since man is a sinner and God is righteous man must be delivered or saves.

 

2. Salvation's Provision

A. Through Christ

God has provided salvation to us through Jesus Christ. John 3:16; Luke 19:10

B. To God's Satisfaction

Christ assumed the full liability of our guilt and sin, He bore our sins in His own body. Christ was our substitute.

2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:6-9; Acts 4:10-12; 1 Peter 2:24

 

3. Salvation's Condition

A. Repentance

Repentance is a change of mind which results in a change of attitude toward sin, self, the Saviour and salvation. Luke 13:3; Acts 17:31

B. Belief

We must believe God concerning the person of Christ. 1 john 5:9-13

C. Acceptance

We must accept Christ as our Saviour and Lord. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12

 

4. Salvations assurance

How may we know for certain that we are saved and have everlasting life in Christ? 1 John 5:13; John 3:16-17; John 10:28-30

Does this mean I will never sin?

God tells us we will sin after we are saved. 1 John 1:8-10

Does this affect my salvation?

Justification - God will view me as if I never sinned

Sanctification - My daily walk with God as I become more like Him

Joomla In August of 2003 an MSN web group was created called Born Again Christians. As numbers rapidly rose it became apparent that there was a need for a website that would reach a wider number of people.

Our goal, by God’s grace, is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to demonstrate that love by obeying His Word.

Our passion is the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teaching of the Word of God verse by verse with expository sermons.
