The Doctrine of Salvation
The doctrine of salvation encompasses our initial salvation experience, our ongoing walk with Christ, and our final deliverance.
Faith
Abram Believed the Lord – Genesis 15:6
Abraham had every reason in the world to doubt what God had promised him. But he believed, and God counted that belief as righteousness.
Flee Ungodliness; Pursue Righteousness- 1 Timothy 6:11
As a ‘man of God,’ I need to flee ungodliness in all its forms. Instead, I should pursue righteousness, godliness, and other godly virtues.
Faith and a Good Conscience – 1 Timothy 1:19
As a believer, how important is it to hold onto faith and a good conscience? According to Paul, it is absolutely vital. Hold tightly to them.
Everything Is Possible – Mark 9:23
To the one who believes, and does not doubt, everything is possible. Nothing God calls us to do will be impossible for the one who believes.
Faith Expressing Itself Through Love – Galatians 5:6
We are not saved by anything we could possibly do, it is a work of God received by faith. A faith that expresses itself through love.
Run to Get the Prize – 1 Corinthians 9:24
Like runners training for a race, as believers, we need to persevere in our faith. Run to get the prize at the end.
Belief Credited as Righteousness – Romans 4:3
Abraham is the example of salvation by faith and not by works. Abraham believed God, and God credited it to him as righteousness.
Justified Freely by God’s Grace – Romans 3:22-25
It is by God’s grace that I have been freely justified through faith in Christ Jesus. A gift freely given and totally undeserved.
Having the Faith of a Mustard Seed – Matthew 17:20
Having the faith of a mustard seed will allow you to do whatever God has called on you to do. Even if that is to move a mountain.
