The Gospel Reconciles Sinners With God

Lesson 8

September 27, 2023 • Pastor Chad • Romans 5:10–11, 2 Corinthians 5:18–20, Colossians 1:20–22

Reconciliation (theologically) is the act of God whereby He replaces the state of enmity between God and man with a relationship of friendship through peace purchased by the death of Christ on the cross, which now places the believing sinner in a favorable position with God through the covering of the guilt of sin with Jesus' blood.

Before we are saved, whether we like it or not, we are the enemies of God. And yet, God in His love, grace, and mercy, made the first move toward unbelieving sinners and died on the cross for us. Because Jesus shed His blood on Calvary, we can now be reconciled to God through faith and placed in a relationship where God's peace is upon us instead of His wrath.

Salvation Will Be Made Complete

March 6, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Colossians 3:4, 1 Corinthians 15:43, Romans 8:18, Romans 8:30

Glorification is the ultimate and absolute physical, mental, and spiritual perfection and transformation of each believer into the image of Christ. It is in essence the completion of our salvation.

I Can Be Assured Of My Salvation

February 28, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel brings us a salvation that is eternally secure. God preserves us. Eternal security is God’s assurance of our salvation. God is absolutely certain of the security of our salvation because He is the one who is securing it. God saves, seals, and secures. Assurance is our confidence in God saving us and securing us. The ultimate secret to assurance of salvation is to base your present assurance of salvation on exactly what you based your past experience of salvation – FAITH in CHRIST ALONE, not in yourself.

Secured By The Son & Spirit

February 21, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel is good news because we are preserved and secured by God the Son and the Holy Spirit. We secured by Jesus through His promises, his prayers, His substitutionary death, His resurrection, His heavenly work as our advocate and intercessor. We are preserved and secured by the Spirit through His work of regeneration, His work of placing us in union with Christ, His work of indwelling us permanently and serving as the earnest payment guaranteeing God will complete our salvation.
