What We Believe: Part 4 – Salvation

We see salvation composed of seven layers of understanding.

1. God’s love. (John 3:16)
2. Christ’s sacrifice. (Acts 4:12)
3. New life in Christ. (John 1:12-13)
4. Justification in Christ. (Romans 4:2-5)
5. Adoption in Christ. (Romans 8:15-17)
6. Entire Sanctification by Christ through the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:8)
7. Restoration. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Paul’s Seven Attributes or Truths of Salvation:

1. All people have knowledge of God. We have no excuses. (Romans 1:8)
2. All people reject God; we are all sinners, lost, deserving of hell. (Romans 1:21)
3. All people are guilty before God; no truly righteous people, only sinners. (Romans 3:10-12)
4. All people are condemned for rejecting God. The law makes us conscious of sin. (Romans 3:20)
5. God, in His love for us has made a way of Salvation for the lost. (Romans 3:21-22)
6. People cannot come to God apart from faith in Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:27-31)
7. Christ commands the church to make the Gospel known to all. (Romans 10:13-15)

God sends His servants..
