How can I practice salvation?
Who is Jesus?

What is the most important part of the plan of salvation?

How does sin prevent salvation?

How does grace apply to salvation?
God’s Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace Alone. Faith Alone. Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves us not because of who we are or what we do, but because of the work of Christ.

What does Paul say about salvation?
The Theme of the Epistle Paul presented his gospel as God’s act of salvation for those who believe in Christ’s death and resurrection. This salvation came to the Jews, but also, and equally, to the Gentiles. By allowing Gentiles into the promise, God has not rejected his people and has not abandoned them.
