THE SIMPLE FACTS OF SALVATION
Acts 4:12
INTRODUCTION
Have you noticed that everyone seems to have some idea of what it means to be "saved"?
1A.
THE EXCLUSIVE SOURCE OF SALVATION
1B.
PERSON OF THE SAVIOR
JOH 14:6 <R>Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
1TI 2:5<R>For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
2B.
PLAN OF SALVATION
HEB 2:3<R>how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?
This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
THE ONE UNCHANGING REMEDY
Years ago men prescribed very unusual treatments for illnesses.
The great reformer John Wesley recorded a few of them in his journal: "I twice tried to stop the violent bleeding from a cut by applying a brier leaf, but I found no change for the better.
On another occasion I ordered some brimstone to be powdered, mixed with the white of an egg, and spread on a brown paper which I then used as a poultice."
He also told of a friend who "had just been taken ill with all the symptoms of pleurisy."
She was given "an easy, cheap remedy consisting of a handful of nettles boiled a few minutes and applied warm to the side."
Because of the outstanding progress in pharmacology, we seriously question the effectiveness of some of these practices and even find them a bit amusing.
Unlike our changing remedies for physical ailments, God's prescription for sin remains the same!
He has one time‑tested cure that needs no improving.
The malady of human depravity has been effectively conquered, for salvation has been provided through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
2A.
THE INCLUSIVE SCOPE OF SALVATION
1B.
PERSON TO BE SAVED
JOH 3:16<R>"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
From the guttermost to the uttermost.
2B.
PLAN OF SALVATION
ACT 20:21<R>I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.
The gospel is the same for everyone.
The ground at the foot of the cross is level.
FOR PAUPER AND KING
In 1915 in Stockholm, Sweden, in a prison hospital a man lay dying who had spent most of his life in crime.
At his bedside a chaplain kept vigil all through the night.
While wiping the forehead of the sufferer and moistening his lips, he whispered repeatedly in his ear, "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.
The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin."
At last a wonderful look of peace came upon the face of the dying man, for he comprehended what was being said and trusted the Savior.
Then he closed his eyes and went into the presence of the One who had saved him.
When the Christian worker left the hospital and walked out into the chill of the early morning, he heard a newsboy shouting, "Extra!
Extra!"
He bought a paper and opened it in the cafe where he went for breakfast.
The headlines announced that the King of Sweden had just died.
The account told how the queen had sat at the bedside of her husband, comforting him from the Scriptures and reading the precious promises of Divine forgiveness through Christ.
The same sacrifice on Calvary that brought pardon to a prisoner had procured peace for a king.
