Salvation | Saved and Now What | Mahlon LeCroix

Bro Mahlon examines the 4th Article of the Baptist Faith and Message, defining salvation as the "redemption of the whole man" that is offered freely to every person regardless of their background. The lesson breaks down the redemptive process into four distinct stages: 1) Regeneration as the initial act of God's grace 2) Justification through the penal substitutionary atonement of Christ 3) Sanctification as the lifelong "grind" of spiritual growth 4) And glorification as the final state of perfection. Central to this doctrine is the requirement of grace, faith, and repentance, asserting that true salvation must result in a "change of heart" that moves a believer from being a "babe in Christ" toward spiritual maturity.  www.shoalcreekbaptist.org
