Other Names for Sin and Salvation - Part 6

References:

(1) Sin is REBELLION against God. We all choose to actively do things that are WRONG. Sin harms OTHERS, damages US, and, most importantly, DISHONORS GOD.

(2) The apostle Paul made it clear that sin has CONSEQUENCES: “Do not be deceived. God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life” (Gal. 6:7-8).

(3) Thus, an individual’s sin will be JUDGED if he does not avail himself of a way to circumvent the judgment. I will show that salvation is given by God as the way to circumvent the judgment. Without God’s plan of salvation, eternal death is the destiny of every human being. You recall that salvation is the application of the work of Christ to the life of an individual.

(4) In the Gospel of John 5:19-47, Jesus conveys what is recognized as Christ’s first public discourse. It contains 12 great subjects, one of which is described in 5:24.

(5) The words save and salvation carry the idea of deliverance from danger and suffering. These 2 words also convey: rescue, health, security, protection, and preservation.

(6) The story of salvation can be told in 6 brief statements: Salvation is needed; salvation is provided ; salvation is offered; salvation can be received; salvation has to be proclaimed; and salvation has to be lived. These 6 statements are confirmed by multiple scriptural passages.
