The Salvation of Man


Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Salvation is received through faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. Through salvation, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.


 

Luke 24:47

47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

 

Romans 10:13-15

13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

John 3:3

3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

 

Titus 2:11

11 For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.

Ephesians 2:8

8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.

 

Titus 3:5-7

5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.[a] 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.


The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit.


 

Romans 8:16

16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.


The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.


 

Ephesians 4:24

24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

Titus 2:12

12 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God,
