The Redeemer in Salvation
There is no question who the Saviour is, the Bible makes it clear!
Joseph Smith cannot save you
Mohamed can’t save
The Pope can’t save
Mother Earth doesn’t save
Buddha can’t save

The Recognition in Salvation
Justification is God declaring that we are righteous.
Judge with Gavel illustration
During a British conference on comparative religions, experts from around the world debated what, if any, belief was unique to the Christian faith.
They began eliminating possibilities.
Incarnation?
Other religions had different versions of gods appearing in human form.
Resurrection?
Again, other religions had accounts of return from death.
The debate went on for some time until C. S. Lewis wandered into the room.
“What’s the rumpus about?” he asked, and heard in reply that his colleagues were discussing Christianity’s unique contribution among world religions.
Lewis responded, “Oh, that’s easy.
It’s grace.”
After some discussion, the conferees had to agree.
The notion of God’s love coming to us free of charge, no strings attached, seems to go against every instinct of humanity.
The Buddhist eightfold path, the Hindu doctrine of Karma, the Jewish covenant, and the Muslim code of law—each offers a way to earn approval.
Only Christianity dares to make God’s love unconditional.
—Philip Yancey, What’s So Amazing about Grace? (Zondervan, 1997)
God declares us righteous on the basis that Jesus satisfied the payment for our sins
The debt was “paid in full”
The Riches in Salvation
“Salvation makes us heirs of the greatest fortune anywhere”
We are blessed beyond our comprehension
The Realm of Salvation
Salvation lasts forever
