The Gospel of Salvation


6/120


Ephesians 1:13 InHim, you also, afterlistening to the

message of truth, thegospel of your

salvation--having alsobelieved, you weresealed in Him with the

Hol S irit of romise


7/120


Romans 1:16 For I amnot ashamed of the

gospel, for it is thepower of God forsalvation to everyone

who believes, to theJew first and also to the

Greek.


8/120


Acts 13:26 "Brethren,sons of Abraham's

family, and thoseamong you who fear

God, to us the messageof this salvation hasbeen sent.


9/120


So what is salvation?


10/120


Popularized today in Christiandenominations, many think salvation is theevent of just getting to heaven.

However, salvation is not just for us, it is

for God as well.

Revelation 7:10 and they cry out with aloud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God

who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.

So, salvation is not just for us. God wantsa people for his possession.


11/120


So our thinking in terms ofsalvation needs to be God-centered, not man-centered.

We need to ask ourselveswhy did God save us?

He saved us for himself


12/120


SalvationAccomplished & appropriatedPresent and continuousFuture and hoped for


13/120


Salvation has both apresent and a future

aspect


14/120


To understand the present andfuture aspect of our salvation weneed to ask this question.Did Jesus expect to get something in

return for the sacrifice he made?The answer is yes.

Titus 2:14-15 who gave Himself for

us to redeem us from every lawlessdeed, and to purify for Himself apeople for His own possession,zealous for good deeds. (15) These

things speak and exhort and reprove


15/120


By the preceding verse, we know that Jesus

expected 2 things from his sacrifice.He expected to redeem us. Redeemcomes from the Greek word

lutroo

loo-tro'-o

From G3083; to ransom (literally orfiguratively): - redeem.

It is slave language typically used ofbuying someone that cant afford to paytheir debts out of bondage. You thenbecame the slave of another. So Jesusexpected to purchase us by paying our sindebt and then make us a slave ofrighteousness.


16/120


The Bible often describessalvation as a futureaspect, not here yet.

But salvation does have apresent aspect to it


17/120


Luke 19:9-10 And Jesussaid to him, "Todaysalvation has come to thishouse, because he, too, isa son of Abraham. (10)

"For the Son of Man hascome to seek and to savethat which was lost."


18/120


Referencing Titus 2: 14

15, Jesus could see thatZaccheus had repented,believed, and was zealous

for good deeds.


19/120


2 Corinthians 6:2 for Hesays, "AT THE ACCEPTABLETIME I LISTENED TO YOU,AND ON THE DAY OFSALVATION I HELPED YOU."Behold, now is "THEACCEPTABLE TIME," behold,now is "THE DAY OFSALVATION"--


20/120


2 Timothy 1:9 who hassaved us and called us with

a holy calling, notaccording to our works, butaccording to His own

purpose and grace whichwas granted us in ChristJesus from all eternity,


21/120


Titus 3:5 He saved us, noton the basis of deeds which

we have done inrighteousness, butaccording to His mercy, by

the washing ofregeneration and renewingby the Holy Spirit,


22/120


So when we believe

through faith, according tothe Scriptures, we aresaved.


23/120


According to

Scripture, salvation isalso an ongoing

activity, not a onetime experience.


24/120


1 Corinthians 15:1-2 Now Imake known to you, brethren,the gospel which I preached to

you, which also you received,in which also you stand, (2)by which also you are saved, if

you hold fast the word which Ipreached to you, unless youbelieved in vain.


25/120


Colossians 1:21-23 And although

you were formerly alienated andhostile in mind, engagedin evildeeds, (22) yet He has nowreconciled you in His fleshly bodythrough death, in order to presentyou before Him holy and blamelessand beyond reproach-- (23) if

indeed you continue in the faithfirmly established and steadfast,and not moved away from the hopeof the gospel that you have heard,

which was proclaimed in all


26/120


By the preceding twoverses, it also statesclearly there is acondition to this ongoing

activity of salvation


27/120


Hebrews 7:25 Therefore

He is able also to saveforever those who draw

near to God throughHim, since He alwayslives to make

intercession for them.

KJV translation renders


28/120


Jesus life is everlasting.While the OT priests could

die, Jesus has already died,risen, and now lives foreverto make priestly

intercession for usuninterrupted.

Jesus has become the

perfect high priest.


29/120


Salvation has a futureaspect to it


30/120


Romans 8:24-25 For in hopewe have been saved, but hopethat is seen is not hope; for

who hopes for what he alreadysees? (25) But if we hope forwhat we do not see, with

perseverance we wait eagerlyfor it.

KJV translation has saved in


31/120


Romans 13:11 Do this,knowing the time, that it isalready the hour for you to

awaken from sleep; for nowsalvation is nearer to us thanwhen we believed.

In both of these verses, Paul isevidently looking towards an

end result to salvation.


32/120


1 Thessalonians 5:9 For

God has not destined usfor wrath, but forobtaining salvationthrough our Lord JesusChrist,


33/120


1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 Now as to the times and

the epochs, brethren, you have no need ofanything to be written to you. (2) For youyourselves know full well that the day of the Lordwill come just like a thief in the night. (3) Whilethey are saying, "Peace and safety!" thendestruction will come upon them suddenly likelabor pains upon a woman with child, and theywill not escape. (4) But you, brethren, are not indarkness, that the day would overtake you like athief; (5) for you are all sons of light and sons ofday. We are not of night nor of darkness; (6) so

then let us not sleep as others do, but let us bealert and sober. (7) For those who sleep do theirsleeping at night, and those who get drunk getdrunk at night. (8) But since we are ofthe day,let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of

faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope ofsalvation. 9 For God has not destined us for


34/120


Note that wrath and salvation

are the 2 possible outcomes atthe day of the Lord.

Some people identify this

verse as referring to thetribulation, but there is nobiblical basis for this. Wrath is

associated with judgment atthe last day during Christsreturn which is clarified in vs.10 describing the resurrection.

So in this verse and the


35/120


1 Peter 1:4-5 to obtainan inheritance which isimperishable andundefiled and will notfade away, reserved in

heaven for you, (5) whoare protected by thepower of God through

faith for a salvation


36/120


So there is a salvation wehave now, but there is also

an aspect of it that clearlyis future.

It says we are keptprotected by the power ofGod for this salvation

throu h faith.


37/120


Faith compared to an electricaloutlet.

There is an endless supply of

electricity available for ourappliances, but have to beplugged in to access or

appropriate it. This is like our faith.

One could argue from the

Scriptures that once plugged


38/120


Romans 5:1-2 Therefore,having been justified by

faith, we have peace withGod through our Lord JesusChrist, (2) through whom

also we have obtained ourintroduction by faith intothis grace in which we

stand; and we exult in hope


39/120


Important point faith isnot a work; its a

surrender.

As long as we put ourselves

in Gods hands, we haveassurance of salvation.

If you asked a person if they

are saved and theyansweredFrom what? Whatwould you say to them?

Most people would generallysay hell because we

generally think of being savedas going to heaven.

What does the Bible say?


43/120


Matthew 1:21 "She will

bear a Son; and you shallcall His name Jesus, for Hewill save His people from

their sins."


44/120


Could it be that Jesus Christ savingus from our sins means his bloodcovered our sin debt and released

us from the bondage of sin in orderto purify a people for his ownpossession that would inherit

eternal life?

The answer is yes according to thescriptures.


45/120


Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God

has appeared, bringing salvation toall men, (12) instructing us todeny ungodliness and worldlydesires and to live sensibly,

righteously and godly in thepresent age, (13) looking for theblessed hope and the appearing ofthe glory of our great God and

Savior, Christ Jesus, (14) whogave Himself for us to redeem usfrom every lawless deed, and topurify for Himself a people for Hisown possession, zealous for good


46/120


Also, in the OT, Jewish people never

associated salvation with going toheaven.

Jewish people always associatedsalvation as deliverance from their

oppressors. What the Jewish people failed to

realize in their recognition of Jesus

Christ as Messiah is that the trueoppressor was sin, not the thencurrent kingdom of Rome.

So salvation is a deliverance from

oppression, but the oppression of


47/120


Justification is God settling the debt ofour sin so as to free us fromcondemnation which is the just penaltyfor sin.

God would much rather justify us thancondemn us.

Ezekiel 18:23 "Do I have any pleasure inthe death of the wicked," declares theLord GOD, "rather than that he should

turn from his ways and live?

Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake hisway And the unrighteous man his

thoughts; And let him return to the


48/120


God has compassion for sinners, but he cantcontradict his justice.

God is both our justifier and our judge.

Romans 3:21-26 But now apart from the Law therighteousness of God has been manifested, beingwitnessed by the Law and the Prophets, (22)

even the righteousness of God through faith inJesus Christ for all those who believe; for there isno distinction; (23) for all have sinned and fallshort of the glory of God, (24) being justified asa gift by His grace through the redemption which

is in Christ Jesus; (25) whom God displayedpublicly as a propitiation in His blood throughfaith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness,because in the forbearance of God He passedover the sins previously committed; (26) for the

demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at theresent time, so that He would be ust and the

Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the Law is spiritual,but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. (15) For

what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am notpracticing what I wouldlike to do, but I am doing thevery thing I hate. (16) But if I do the very thing I donot want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing thatthe Law is good. (17) So now, no longer am I the onedoing it, but sin which dwells in me. (18) For I know

that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; forthe willing is present in me, but the doing of the goodis not. (19) For the good that I want, I do not do, but Ipractice the very evil that I do not want. (20) But if Iam doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longerthe one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. (21) I

find then the principle that evil is present in me, theone who wants to do good. (22) For I joyfully concurwith the law of God in the inner man, (23) but I see adifferent law in the members of my body, waging waragainst the law of my mind and making me a prisonerof the law of sin which is in my members. (24)

Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the

In this verse, Paul isdescribing his struggle withthe flesh.

Some people identify thispassage as Paul describinghimself before his conversion,

some dont. Verse definitely identifiesJesus Christ as providingvictory over this struggle.


55/120


Process of overcoming sin

is called sanctification. hagiasmoshag-ee-as-mos'

Properlypurification, that

is, (the state)purity;concretely (by Hebraism) apurifier: - holiness,

sanctification.


56/120


We need to temper Paulsstruggle in Romans withthe whole counsel of Godwhich declares ourstruggle with sin asvictory, not defeat.

We need to remember.


57/120


The devil looks to devourus.

1 Peter 5:8 Be of soberspirit, be on the alert. Your

adversary, the devil,prowls around like aroaring lion, seeking

someone to devour.


58/120


We need to resist the deviland submit to God.

James 4:7 Submittherefore to God. Resistthe devil and he will flee

from you.


59/120


Its a fight and struggle. We are forgiven and empowered.

God provides the way out.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptationhas overtaken you but such as iscommon to man; and God is

faithful, who will not allow you tobe tempted beyond what you areable, but with the temptation willprovide the way of escape also, sothat ou will be able to endure it.

We are told this

Christian life.

Romans 6:5-14 For if we have become unitedwith Him in the likeness of His death, certainly

we shall also be in the likeness of Hisresurrection, (6) knowing this, that our old selfwas crucified with Him, in order that our body ofsin might be done away with, so that we wouldno longer be slaves to sin; (7) for he who has

died is freed from sin. (8) Now if we have diedwith Christ, we believe that we shall also livewith Him, (9) knowing that Christ, having beenraised from the dead, is never to die again; deathno longer is master over Him. (10) For the death

that He died, He died to sin once for all; but thelife that He lives, He lives to God. (11) Even soconsider yourselves to be dead to sin, but aliveto God in Christ Jesus. (12) Therefore do not letsin reign in your mortal body so that you obey itslusts, (13) and do not go on presenting themembers of your body to sin as instruments of

The Bible does not

describe a sinlessperfection, but it does

allude to progression indefeat over sin.


63/120


We all sin.

1 John 1:5-10 This is the message wehave heard from Him and announce toyou, that God is Light, and in Him thereis no darkness at all. (6) If we say that

we have fellowship with Him and yetwalk in the darkness, we lie and do notpractice the truth; (7) but if we walk inthe Light as He Himself is in the Light,we have fellowship with one another,and the blood of Jesus His Son cleansesus from all sin. (8) If we say that wehave no sin, we are deceiving ourselvesand the truth is not in us. (9) If we

confess our sins, He is faithful and


64/120


We are currently beingmade more Christlike.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But

we all, with unveiledface, beholding as in a

mirror the glory of theLord, are beingtransformed into the

same image from glory

We are supposed tostrive and engage thefight.

Philippians 2:12 Sothen, my beloved, just

66/120


We are supposed to be zealousfor good works!

Titus 2:14 who gave Himselffor us to redeem us from everylawless deed, and to purify forHimself a people for His ownpossession, zealous for gooddeeds.


67/120


Good works is not a dirty word,or shouldnt be in Christianity

today.

Although we are saved by grace

through our faith, the bible clearlyindicates we are to be zealous forgood works and it is the evidenceof our salvation and love for God.


68/120


James 2:14-24 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he hasfaith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? (15) If a brother

or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, (16) and oneof you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet

you do not give them what is necessary for theirbody, what use isthat? (17) Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.(18) But someone maywellsay, "You have faith and I have works;show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith

by my works." (19) You believe that God is one. You do well; thedemons also believe, and shudder. (20) But are you willing torecognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?(21) Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offeredup Isaac his son on the altar? (22) You see that faith was working

with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;(23) and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM

BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM ASRIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God. (24) Yousee that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.


69/120


Proverbs 4:23 Watch over your heartwith all diligence, For from it flow thesprings of life.

Our salvation should result in an outwardchange in behavior as a result of aninward change in our heart.

Now that we have worked in our

salvation, we need to work out oursalvation in progressive defeat of sin.


70/120


As Christians, we should walk by the

spirit.

Galatians 5:16-17 But I say, walk by theSpirit, and you will not carry out the

desire of the flesh. (17) For the fleshsets its desire against the Spirit, and theSpirit against the flesh; for these are inopposition to one another, so that you

may not do the things that you please.

We discussed a minute agothe fact that Jesus Christpurchased us by his blood.

1 Peter 1:18-19 knowing thatyou were not redeemed withperishable things like silver or

gold from your futile way oflife inherited from yourforefathers, (19) but with

precious blood, as of a lamb

Hebrews 9:11-14 But when Christ

appeared as a high priest of the goodthings to come, He enteredthrough thegreater and more perfect tabernacle, notmade with hands, that is to say, not of

this creation; (12) and not through theblood of goats and calves, but throughHis own blood, He entered the holy placeonce for all, having obtained eternalredemption. (13) For if the blood of

goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifersprinkling those who have been defiledsanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,(14) how much more will the blood of

Christ, who through the eternal Spirit

As you can see in this verse,

justification comes from belief inthe truth; sanctification comesfrom the Spirit.

1 Peter 1:2 according to the

foreknowledge of God the Father, by thesanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey

Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with Hisblood: May grace and peace be yours in

the fullest measure. Hebrews 10:29 How much severer

punishment do you think he will deservewho has trampled under foot the Son ofGod, and has regarded as unclean theblood of the covenant by which he wassanctified, and has insulted the Spirit ofgrace?

From these verses we see that


87/120


Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been

saved through faith; and that not of yourselves,it is the gift of God; (9) not as a result of works,so that no one may boast.

John 1:16 For of His fullness we have all

received, and grace upon grace.

Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God has appeared,bringing salvation to all men, (12) instructing usto deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to

live sensibly, righteously and godly in thepresent age,

So grace is a gift from God and through our faithin Jesus Christ we have received this gift in all

fullness, and this Spirit of Grace (Holy Spirit)


88/120


As Christians today, we shouldacknowledge grace not only inour justification, but also inour sanctification. We shouldsee a progressing defeat of sinin our lives which show as the

fruits of the spirit yieldinggood works which is theevidence of our salvation and

love for God.

Return of Christ

Hebrews 9:28 so Christ also,having been offered once tobear the sins of many, willappear a second time for

salvation without reference tosin, to those who eagerlyawait Him.

When Jesus Christ comes back,it will not be to conquer sin

again, it will be to transform

2 Thessalonians 1:6-8 For after all

it is onlyjust for God to repay withaffliction those who afflict you, (7)and to give relief to you who areafflicted and to us as well when theLord Jesus will be revealed fromheaven with His mighty angels inflaming fire, (8) dealing out

retribution to those who do notknow God and to those who do notobey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

1 John 5:7-13 For there are three that testify:(8) the Spirit and the water and the blood; andthe three are in agreement. (9) If we receive thetestimony of men, the testimony of God isgreater; for the testimony of God is this, that Hehas testified concerning His Son. (10) The onewho believes in the Son of God has the testimonyin himself; the one who does not believe God hasmade Him a liar, because he has not believed inthe testimony that God has given concerning HisSon. (11) And the testimony is this, that God

has given us eternal life, and this life is in HisSon. (12) He who has the Son has the life; hewho does not have the Son of God does not havethe life. (13) These things I have written to youwho believe in the name of the Son of God, so

that you may know that you have eternal life.
