THINGS ACCOMPANYING SALVATION

Heb.

Hebrews 6:1–9 KJV 1900

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

Heart-Stirring Sermon Outlines 4. Things Accompanying Salvation (Hebrews 6:9)

There is no question about whom the Apostle Paul is speaking when he says, “But, beloved.” This is a term that is used sixty times in the New Testament. Salvation is a big word. When you say, “I have experienced salvation,” you are saying a mouthful. Salvation is wonderful, but salvation is not the end. It is only a beginning. There are things which accompany salvation.

Sermon Illustrations: Change

Anecdo

Why do we always find change so difficult to accept? In 1825, someone said, "What can be more clearly absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives travelling twice as fast as stagecoaches?" In 1889, someone else said, "The ordinary 'horseless carriage' is at present a luxury for the wealthy; and although its price will probably fall in the near future, it will never, of course, come into as common use as the bicycle." Then in 1901 someone said, "As a means of rapid transit, aerial navigation could not begin to compete with the railroad."

Farmer Brown and his family had lived out west all their lives, but they had to go to the big city to view some documents. So they load up the utility truck and head to the city. They pull up outside a massive building and the farmer says to his family, "Stay here. I won't be long." Little Johnny says, "Aw, Dad, can't I come too?" "Alright," says the farmer. "But the rest of you stay in the ute." They get out of the car, and up the steps to the front entrance, when the doors suddenly open. "Wow, did you see that Dad? The doors just opened by themselves." "Yeah, ya never know what they've got in the city, son." So they're wandering round, marvelling at all the things in the building. The farmer asks for directions, the clerk points at the lift door. They've never seen one before, so they go and stand in front of it, not knowing what to make of it. Next thing an old woman comes along, gets in the lift, and the door shuts. A couple of minutes later, the door opens again, and out steps a beautiful young woman. An old woman went in, and a beautiful young woman came out. The farmer turns to his son, "Quick son, go get your mother." There's a theological truth in this - God isn't interested so much in changing us, as He is in exchanging us.

I. A changed life accompanies salvation

A CHANGED LIFE ACCOMPANIES SALVATION

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV 1900

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

2 cOR. 5:17

Therefore, in view of the fact that we do not know any man after the flesh, not even Christ, it is vain for any man to profess relationship with Christ according to the flesh, while he is unchanged in heart and life and dead in trespasses and sins.

Paul on the road to Damascus had a supernatural change in his life.

A CHANGED SPIRIT ACCOMPANIES SALVATION

Philippians 4:11 KJV 1900

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

1. To be content under all circumstances

2. How to be abased

3. How to abound

4. In all places

5. In all things

6. To be full

7. To be hungry

8. To abound

9. To suffer need

10. That nothing is impossible through Jesus Christ

10. That nothing is impossible through Jesus Christ

A CONCERN FOR OTHER PEOPLE ACCOMPANIES SALVATION

Romans 9:1–3 KJV 1900

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

A PERSONAL DEVOTION TO JESUS AS LORD ACCOMPANIES SALVATION

Colossians 1:18 KJV 1900

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

There is no difference between the church and the body of Christ, as is clear from the following in Scripture: "the church, which is His body" ; "He is head of the body, the church" ALL THINGS

Preeminence - to be first (in rank or influence).

A HOPE FOR THE FUTURE ACCOMPANIES SALVATION

John 14:1–3 KJV 1900

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

When you receive the Lord Jesus Christ, there is more inside. You not only have salvation from sin right now, but also a hope that goes down across the years of time, beyond the coming of the Lord, and beyond the destruction of the world.

This hope goes beyond the falling stars, the burning worlds, and the bloody seas. It is a hope that goes beyond the coming of the New Jerusalem. It is a hope that is anchored to the throne of God. That is what a Christian has. That is what accompanies salvation.
