Opis

SALVATION from sin ought to be the strongest desire and hope of every responsible person. A glance at what it will mean to be saved, will increase that longing. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4). IN CHRIST is a place of salvation (Ephesians 1:3; 2 Timothy 2:10). To be "in Christ" is to be in the church (Acts 2:47; 5:14). One does not do one thing to get into Christ, and then, have to do something different to get into the church. This book recognizes salvation is both human and divine. There are things we cannot do for our salvation, which God supplies, such as; grace, love, the gospel, and a sacrifice. However, there are things we must do to be saved, such as, faith, repentance, confession, baptism and obedience. Salvation is a conditional gift from God. If there were no conditions, everyone would be saved because Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. Each of the chapters in this book deals with some aspect of things we must do or things that have been done for us. At no time is the thought advanced that we can do enough or be good enough to work our way to heaven.
