Christian Doctrine

Salvation (Intro)

 

The Greatest Display of God’s Love

At creation, it did not take long for Adam and Eve to see how awesome their Creator was. As they observed God’s wondrous creation, they no doubt recognized that God had giving them everything they could have ever asked for or wanted. Their garden paradise was a daily reminder that
their God was full of endless power and goodness. Though the choice of Adam to rebel and sin against his most glorious Creator may baffle us, we are all quickly humbled by the realization that our own hearts are plagued by this same guilt. For this reason, we are amazed as we find in the pages of Scripture a plan that God put into motion that would forever alter the fate of mankind. This is the story of salvation; the matchless display of God’s love to redeem mankind back to Himself.

A Detailed Look at God’s Marvelous Plan

The only hope for mankind is the plan of salvation unfolded by God Himself to redeem His creation. Through this study, we will examine this doctrine of salvation and, along the way, see what Scripture says about various issues such as:

➢ Why exactly did God send His Son to die for us?
➢ How does the death of Christ on the cross affect the way God views us?
➢ What exactly does someone really have to do in order to get “saved”?
➢ What exactly happens to someone the moment they experience salvation?
➢ Are there any circumstances that could cause a person to lose their salvation?
➢ How does our salvation impact us today? How will it impact our future?

This study will give us a better understanding of the grace of God and the sacrifice of our Savior. Over the next several weeks, we will grow in our appreciation for the hope God has given to us through this marvelous plan of salvation.
