Biblical Christianity
part 3
Purpose of this Series:
To provide a clear understanding of what “Christianity” looks like from a “Biblical” perspective
Especially to point out important elements of Christianity that may seem to get little attention in the popular churches today
To bring attention to areas where “pop culture” and tradition have replaced sound doctrine in many popular places with things that may sound true but are not
To provide proof of these points with sound scriptural references and illustrations

Following is an excerpt from The New Bible Dictionary article on Salvation in the Old Testament:
ROM10.9-10
The principal Heb.
term translated ‘salvation’ is yēša‘ and its cognates.
Its basic meaning is ‘bring into a spacious environment’ (cf.
; ), but it carries from the beginning the metaphorical sense of ‘freedom from limitation’ and the means to that; i.e. deliverance from factors which constrain and confine.
It can be referred to deliverance from disease (; cf.
v. 9), from trouble () or enemies (; ).
In the vast majority of references God is the author of salvation.
Thus God saves his flock (); he rescues his people () and he alone can save them (); there is no other saviour besides him ().
He saved the fathers from Egypt () and their sons from Babylon ().
He is the refuge and saviour of his people ().
He saves the poor and needy when they have no other helper (; ).
The word of Moses, ‘stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord’ (), is of the essence of the OT idea.
Thus to know God at all is to know him as a saving God ()
For today we will focus on the idea of salvation as:
deliverance from the power and effects of sin
Power of sin = temptation, bondage, addictions, character flaws, relationships, pressures, etc.
Effects of sin = sickness, poverty, loneliness, ultimately death
rom3.23
The ultimate power and effect of sin is death
Not only physical death, but also spiritual death
Spiritual death results in eternity in hell
Salvation = Being Saved
Saved from Sin and Death
Saved = Greek Sozo
Completely delivered from the power of satan, and from hell
In the Old Testament, salvation is from God, received through faith, by keeping the law
example the passover
sacrifices
Salvation is and always was received through faith -
New Testament Salvation
Faith in Jesus Christ
In the old testament faith was expressed through keeping the law
In the New Testament faith is expressed through trusting Jesus Christ
His blood applied as sacrifice for our sin
His Lordship over our life
His authority to redeem us and reward us.
mt1.
Jesus came into the world to “save” us from our sin
He is not saving us from the devil
It is our sin that gives the devil dominion over us
“whoever commits sin is a slave to sin”
If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed
In the same way that those at passover were protected in the instant that the blood was applied to the door posts, this salvation through Jesus Christ is effective “immediately” upon our trusting in Jesus Christ
This “trust in Jesus Christ” is expressed through repentance and following Him
We call this being “born again”
Repentance from sin - must turn from your sin - Eze 33
Repentance from dead works - cannot save yourself
being born again = a new life - new creation
Apart from this salvation we will all perish
jn3.
We must be saved from this condemnation
Apart from Jesus there is no way to be saved
So, then, Biblical Salvation, is the process of being saved completely from sin and “all of its consequences
Biblical Salvation
Another way to say this is that “Biblical Salvation” is trusting in Jesus Christ
Trusting His death alone as payment for your sin
Trusting Him alone as your example to live by
Trusting His authority alone as Lord of Your life
