Lesson One - What is salvation all about?
There is no way that a new believer has an understanding of what all took place the moment they received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Therefore, this lesson is designed to help them have a better understanding of what salvation is all about.
I. Just what is the gospel?
II. Christ’s death on the cross paid the full penalty for our sins and allows us to have His righteousness.
III. Salvation was totally accomplished by the grace of God completely apart from human effort.
IV. Sinners cannot earn salvation with God.
V. Eternal life is a complete gift from God.
VI. Christians can and do sin even after they are saved.
VII. The truth of the gospel also involves repentance.
