3. Why Jesus is the Only Way to Salvation.
We see in Scriptures that it is very clearly stated that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation for mankind. What is it about Jesus that separates Him from all other religions or spiritual figures? - John 14:6
4. Salvation is a Free Gift from God to Us.
We must realize that salvation is a free gift from God and that there are no amount of good works we can do to earn it. It's Free! - Ephesians 2:8-9
Salvation has nothing to do with whether we deserve it or not. It is not based on how good we are or have been. It is a free gift of God’s unmerited favor being bestowed upon our lives in spite of ourselves. It is totally based on our belief in the person of Jesus Christ is and who we believe Him to be.
5. Salvation is based Upon Our Belief in Jesus Christ.
We must come to the place where we believe and confess what Jesus Christ has accomplished for our salvation - Romans 10:9-10
6. Salvation Demands Repentance and Obedience to God’s Word.
Repentance and obedience to Jesus and the Word of God are absolutely necessary in the salvation experience, because Jesus has become to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation - Hebrews 5:9
7. The Salvation Package – What is Included.
Salvation is much more than just being saved from Hell and going to Heaven. It involves every aspect of our lives, spirit, soul and body. When we are born again by God’s Spirit, we become partakers of His Divine Nature, which brings us into a rich inheritance. - 2 Peter 1:2-4 -
