The Core: A Study of Our Beliefs, pt. 4 - Salvation: Who, What, Why and When

Who needs salvation? Everyone. What is Salvation? Forgiveness. Why do we need salvation? Sin. When should we accept salvation? Immediately. All people have sinned and will sin. The due punishment for this rebellion against God is eternal death, which is separation from God. The only way to restore our relationship with God is by accepting the gift of grace, through faith, that Christ provided through His death and resurrection. Therefore, anyone who accepts this free gift by submitting their life to Christ, His teachings, and repenting from their sins, shall inherit eternal life.The Jews clung to their distinction from the rest of the world like Christians today cling to their distinction from the rest of the world. We all sin. We can’t avoid sin. The wages of sin is death. Therefore we need salvation. Salvation is a free gift of grace won for us on the cross by Jesus Christ, the son of God.
