Elements of Salvation

 The Elements of Salvation

Intro | About | Salvation’s Assurance | Accepted In Him | | Baptism | Knowing God | My Significance
	Justification	As a sinner, I stood before God guilty and condemned and fully deserving of eternal damnation, but He declares me righteous (Rom. 8:33) in Christ Jesus. It is His declaration that determines my righteousness on the basis of Jesus Christ and not because of anything I have done or will or will not do.
	Redemption	As a sinner, I stood before God as a slave, but He has granted my freedom (Rom. 6:18-22).  He did it because He chose to do it and delighted to do it — not because of any merit of my own or any potential He saw in me.  Colossians 1:13
	Forgiveness	As a sinner, I stood before God as a debtor, but the debt is paid by Him (I owe it no more) and it is forgotten (Eph. 1:7). He did it because He chose to do it and delighted to do it — not because of any merit of my own or any potential He saw in me.
	Reconciliation	As a sinner, I stood before God as an enemy, but He made me His friend (2 Cor. 5:18-20) He did it because He chose to do it and delighted to do it — not because of any merit of my own or any potential He saw in me.
	Adoption	As a sinner,  I stood before God as a stranger, but He made me His son (Eph. 1:5) He did it because He chose to do it and delighted to do it — not because of any merit of my own or any potential He saw in me.
	Complete in Him	As a sinner, I stood before God without eternal life. He made me ONE with Him and gave me His Glory. John 17:20-23    2 Peter 1:3
	Power	As a sinner I stood before God without power to do good or to benefit others.  He gave me the power of His kingdom, and put all the powers of darkness under my control.  Ephesians 1:19-21  Luke 12:32  Mark 16:17, 18

Isaiah 45:17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with
an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world
without end. !
