A. The Meaning of Salvation?
The word “salvation” represents the whole work of God by which He rescues man from the eternal ruin and doom of sin and bestows on him the riches of His grace, including eternal life now and eternal glory in heaven.
When God saves He does a whole work.
25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Uttermost- full extent, to the entire degree. He able to save us Completely!
God doesn’t save us partially but completely.
The OT priest where subject to death so there priesthood was temporal.
But Jesus priesthood is eternal. So His salvation is eternal.
Christ can see us through anything because He forever and always makes intercession for us.
His salvation is complete.
HE can see us through anytime, any financial difficulty.
Any sickness
Anything because His salvation is complete.
Because His salvation is complete, it doesn’t need man to some how fulfill this salvation.
Jonah 2:9 ……“Salvation is of the Lord”
“Salvation is a work of God on behalf of man, and in no sense is it a work of man on behalf of God.”
B. Salvation is God’s remedy for Sin
We must realize that sin is equally sinful whether it be commited by the heathen, or civilized, the saved or the unsaved.
The consequence varies depending on the size of the offense.
47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
So theres degrees of consequence of sin.
But nevertheless all sin is sinful because it outrages the holiness of God.
2. Sin can only be cured on the grounds of the shed blood of the Son of God.
“Divine forgiveness has never been an act of leniency.”
In the OT the priest offered atoning blood as a sacrifice for forgiveness of sins.
After Christ has died the same truth apply’s. Blood is Gods means for salvation.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Because out sin had eternal consequence it took an eternal God to pay for them.
“The substitutionary work of Christ upon the cross is infinitely perfect in its sufficiency. Therefore the sinner who trust in Christ not only is forgiven, but he is even justified forever.”
24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
God has never treated lightly. Forgiveness may not be burdensome on us, be we are forgiven and justified only because the undiminished divine penalty has been borne by Christ.
24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
“Just for the unjust!”
Christ forgiveness can’t be exhausted.
How was salvation before the cross of Christ?
Gods method of dealing with sin before the cross was is said to have been by atonement.
Atonement means to cover.
So God covered sins in the OT .
Acts 17:30 KJV- “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.”
“Winked at” - means God overlooked sins
25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
God passed over sins
God atoned mans sins meaning He covered.
God winked at mans sins meaning He overlooked.
& God passed over mans sins in OT
But
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
Bull and goats could not take away sins.
The OT saints where still in there sins.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
John the Baptist didn’t says Jesus is going to cover, overlook mans sins but take them away.
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Taken it out of the way!
5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.
Jesus takes away our sins this mind blowing this mercy and grace that has been given to us.
This is Gods provision for salvation!
The only thing that remains is, is man satisfied with the sacrifice that satisfies God.
D. The three tenses of Salvation
Past tense salvation is revealed in certain passages which, when speaking of salvation, refer to it as being wholly past, or completed for the one who has believed.
Luke 7:50 …Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.
1 Cor. 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
2 Cor. 2:15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
Eph 2:5 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),……… 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God
2. The present tense of salvation, has to do with the present salvation and the reigning power of sin.
Romans 6: 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
2 Cor. 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
3. The future tens of salvation contemplates that the believer will yet be saved into full conformity to Christ. Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
1 Peter 1:5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
