The Purpose of Salvation

The Importance of Salvation
Salvation is the singular most important gift God has given to man (Acts 4:12). It represents the forgiveness of our sins and the sins of the world.

What Salvation Means
1.Transition from Eternal Death to Eternal Life: Salvation means we have transitioned from eternal death to eternal life (Ephesians 2:5, John 3:16).
2.Entering the Kingdom of God: Salvation means we have entered into the kingdom of God.
3.Freedom from Condemnation: Salvation means we are no longer under condemnation (John 3:17).
4.Escape from Hell: Salvation means we have escaped from hell.
5.New Birth: Salvation means we have been born again into the household of God.

The State of the Falling Man

1.Dead in Trespasses and Sins: Without salvation, man is dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1-3).
2.Cursed to Lust: Man is cursed to lust and controlled by demons and the devil.
3.Separated from God's Glory: Man is separated from the glory of God and condemned to damnation.
4.Without Identity: Man is without an identity and is an enemy of God.

How to Attain Salvation
1. Salvation is a Gift: Salvation is a gift from God.
2. Faith in Jesus: Salvation is by faith in Jesus (Acts 4:12, John 14:6).
3. Calling on the Name of Jesus: Salvation is by calling on the name of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10, Romans 10:13).

What God Expects of Us
Sharing the Gospel: God expects everyone who is saved to tell others about salvation (Matthew 28:19-20, John 4:29).
