SALVATION DEFINED!

SALVATION:  FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND

ADOPTION INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD!

Ephesians 1:7 - (We believe in Jesus) in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace [God's Riches At Christ's Expense]....

Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace  are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 8:15-16 - For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God....

Ephesians 1:3-5 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:  according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:  having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will....

THE REASON GOD FORGIVES OUR SINS!

John 3:16-18 - God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through (faith in) Him might be saved.  He that believes in Him is not condemned:  but He that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

Romans 5:6-8 - For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. . . . but God demonstrated His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Corinthians 15:1-6 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel (the message of good news) which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved, . . . For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:  and that He was seen by Peter, then by the twelve:  after that, He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present day, but some have died.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:  we pray you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God.  For His Father made Jesus to be sin for us, Who had no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God (by faith) in Him.

THOSE WHO BELIEVE THESE THINGS,

ARE BOTH HUMBLED AND GRATEFUL!
