7-Salvation - NAS

1. God Wants to Redeem Us Because He Loves Us.
1 John 4:8-9 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. [9] By this the love of God was _manifested_ in us, that God has sent His only _begotten_ Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

2. God Created Us in His Image.
Genesis 1:27-28 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. [28] God _blessed_ them; and God said to them, "Be _fruitful_ and _multiply_, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every _living_ thing that moves on the earth."

3. Sin Destroyed Our Fellowship with God.
Genesis 3:8 They heard the sound of the LORD God _walking_ in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the _presence_ of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

4. Everyone Has Sinned and Will Die.
Romans 3:23 For all have _sinned_ and fall short of the _glory_ of God,

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is _eternal_ life in _Christ_ Jesus our Lord.

5. Adam Brought Death and Jesus Brings Life.
Romans 5:18-19 So then as through one _transgression_ there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted _justification_ of life to all men. [19] For as through the one man's _disobedience_ the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

6. Jesus Bore Our Curse.
Galatians 3:13 Christ _redeemed_ us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, "CURSED IS _EVERYONE_ WHO HANGS ON A TREE "-

Hebrews 2:8-9 YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS IN _SUBJECTION_ UNDER HIS FEET." For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things _subjected_ to him. [9] But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the _suffering_ of death _crowned_ with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for _everyone_.

2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might _become_ the _righteousness_ of God in Him.

7. As We Repent, He Forgives.
Acts 3:19 "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of _refreshing_ may come from the _presence_ of the Lord;

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and _righteous_ to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all un_righteous_ness.

8. Receiving Jesus, We Are No Longer Condemned.
Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no _condemnation_ for those who are in _Christ_ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through _faith_; and that not of _yourselves_, it is the gift of God;

9. Receive Jesus and Become Sons and Daughters of God.
John 1:12 But as many as _received_ Him, to them He gave the right to become _children_ of God, even to those who believe in His name,

10. Believe in Him and Receive Eternal Life.
1 John 5:11-13 And the _testimony_ is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. [12] He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. [13] These _things_ I have _written_ to you who _believe_ in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

11. The Gift of Salvation Is An Experience for the Present.
John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that _whoever_ _believes_ in Him shall not perish, but have _eternal_ life. [17] "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
