05/31/19 OVERVIEW OF SALVATION

The Christian experience of Salvation includes:
Possession (appropriation),
Profession (proclamation),
Confession (explanation).


ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BALANCE

Salvation is of the Lord. God devised it, revealed it, provides it, imparts it. Salvation is a Divine miracle, obtainable through God's grace and obtainable through faith.

Possession of salvation is appropriated through believing, confessing, repenting, following.

Profession of salvation is the open proclamation to others concerning a personal, life changing encounter with God.

Confession of salvation is the Biblical explanation concerning the Christian experience and life.

There should be a healthy balance between these three areas, otherwise salvation becomes man oriented rather than God oriented.
