salvation
We teach that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (Eph. 1:7; 2:8–10; Jn. 1:12; 1 Pet. 1:18–19).
The good news of the gospel can be summed up in the first two words of Ephesians 2:4, “But God” (ESV). Apart from Christ, the bible describes us as “dead in our trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1), but God made us “alive with Christ.” We receive salvation “by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:5,8).
Read Ephesians 2:1-10.
