SALVATION
Salvation is indeed a very important subject. I am
not exaggerating when I tell you that salvation is the
most important subject for man to consider. It has
occupied the mind of God from the very beginning. In
order to bring it into reality, God appeared in the flesh.
Therefore, since salvation is so crucial, we must find
out about its nature, meaning and significance. That is,
we must discover what salvation is and from what it is
that we need to be saved.
We understand from the Bible and from the nature
of the mission of Christ, that salvation involves being
set free from slavery to sin and, consequently,
deliverance from it. The Gospel declares that the Son
of man came to seek and to save those who are lost.
This means that the objective of Christ's coming into
the world is to save those who are perishing in

transgressions and sins. To achieve this objective, he
prepared everything for salvation even to the extent of
laying down his life for the sinner, impelled by the
abundance of his love and mercy.
On his deathbed the Duke of Kent, father of Queen
Victoria of England, was visited by his doctor who
tried to console the Duke by saying, "Be consoled, my
Lord, by the high office which Providence bestowed
upon Your Highness." The Duke replied, "This may be
true, but my salvation does not depend upon my pro-
minent office, but on my confession that I am a sinner
and that Christ came to save me." He was echoing the
words of the apostle Paul, "Here is a trustworthy
saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst"
(1 Timothy 1:15).
What must I do to be saved?
This question was asked by the Philippian jailer of
the apostle Paul and his companion Silas nearly two
thousand years ago. The answer was "Believe in the
Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved — you and
your household" (Acts 16:31). It is simple and plain
that man is not asked to do anything to save himself.
He must only believe in the Lord Jesus Christ because
there is no other way of salvation. The angel of God
said of the blessed Virgin Mary, "She will give birth to a
son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because
he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).
When John the Baptist saw Christ, he said, "Look the
Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
(John 1:29)

Full faith in salvation, however, must be
accompanied, first, by confession of sin in accordance
with the apostolic saying: "If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify
us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Secondly, it
must be accompanied by repentance. "In the past God
overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all
people everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). "Repent
then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped
out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord"
(Acts 3:19).
Assuredly therefore, faith, accompanied by
confession of sin and repentance, in general bestows on
men:
1. Salvation from the debt of sin
In many of his parables Christ explained sin as a
debt. About the wicked servant he said, "Therefore,
the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to
settle accounts with his servants. As he began the
settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents
was brought to him" (Matthew 18:23,24). In another
parable he said, "Two men owed money to a certain
money-lender. One owed him five hundred denarii,
and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to
pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now
which of them will love him more?" (Luke 7:41-42).
Sin is indeed a great debt which sinners owe God.
Whether the debt is great or small, it is more than they
can afford to pay. Therefore, it is subject to the
judgment which says, "For the wages of sin is death"
(Romans 6:23). But God, in his great love, which is full

of kindness and mercy, is ready to forgive and pardon
under conditions laid down in the Gospel, whatever
and however great the sins may be. It is written, "But
where sin increased, grace increased all the more"
(Romans 5:20). This makes the consolations of the
Gospel all the sweeter when compared to the over-
whelming and terrifying power of the Law. Having
bought forgiveness for repentant sinners through the
blood of his Cross, Christ's Gospel gives mankind the
promise of this forgiveness, and his Holy Spirit seals it
and supplies a solace. Those whose sins are forgiven
are bound to love him who forgave them. The deeper a
sinner has sunk into sin before regeneration, the holier
must he become and the more ready to obey.
2. Salvation from the power of sin
Having been relieved of sin's heavy debt, man now
needs to be freed from the power of sin and to abandon
evil habits. He must cease to live by his own corrupted
desires in his relations with a world which has been cast
into the hold of the Evil One. To do so, man must
persevere and fight against sin to work out his sal-
vation as the apostle Paul said in his epistle to the
Philippians: "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have
always obeyed — not only in my presence, but now
much more in my absence — continue to work out
your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God
who works in you to will and to act according to his
good purpose" (Philippians 2:12,13). Paul also teaches
us that a person who is saved by the grace of Christ
must practice holiness day by day and free himself
from the influences of sin until he attains everlasting

glory. This is evident from Paul's epistle to the Ro-
mans: "And do this, understanding the present time.
The hour has come for you to wake up from your
slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than
when we first believed" (Romans 13:11).
In brief, salvation involves the liberation of man
from the debt of sin and its enslaving power in spirit,
soul and body until he stands before God holy and
unblemished in love.
Some may ask, "Why does God take so much inter-
est in a rebellious sinner who sinned with freedom of
choice? And why does God not let him bear the conse-
quences of his deeds and get what he justly deserves?"
There is one answer to this which is contained in the
passage about the Lord Jesus Christ: "For God so
loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
eternal life" (John 3:16). The story is told of the famous
lawyer, Sir John Prentice, who concluded his defending
arguments of his case with the following statement in
defense of the accused, "I have read in a book that
God, in his everlasting counsel, asked Justice, Truth
and Mercy if he should create man. Justice replied,
"Do not make man because he would tread on all your
laws, disciplines and principles." Truth replied, "Do
not make him because he would be ugly and would
always pursue lies and falsehood." Mercy said, "I
know man would be so wretched. But I would take
charge of him and walk with him through the dark
alleys until I bring him to you in the end."
God made man in the best form, but man fell
following his own inclinations, and eagerly immersed

himself into the world of corruption. But God's mercy
and love followed him and planned his full, complete
and everlasting salvation. Put your trust in the love of
God in Christ Jesus who said, "Turn to me and be
saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and
there is no other" (Isaiah 45:22). "Come now, let us
reason together," says the Lord. "Though your sins are
like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they
are red as crimson, they shall be like wool" (Isaiah 1:18).
Do not hesitate. Open the door of your heart for
Christ. He expects you to do so when he says, "Here I
am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my
voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat with him,
and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).

THE WAY
OF
SALVATION
The salvation of man cannot be accomplished
outside of God's plan. One God is able to bring
together justice, mercy, holiness and love. God fulfilled
this by the wonderful atonement made in the fulness of
time on Golgotha. This happened as the Psalmist had
prophesied, "Love and faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each other" (Psalm
85:10).
The marvelous and awesome scene for the atone-
ment was set. God is on one side, for whose holiness,
magnanimity and kindness there is no limit. While on
the other side, sinful man is stained with his own wrong
doings. In the middle stands a cross on which Jesus was
lifted up as the Redeemer to express the love of God
—"That God was reconciling the world to himself in
Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he

has committed to us the message of reconciliation"
(2 Corinthians 5:19).
Circumstantial evidence confirms that God's
salvation which he had prepared for mankind was not
an emergency operation. It was a preordained and
carefully worked out plan, perfected in accordance
with the perfect wisdom and counsel of God. "He
predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus
Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will — to
the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely
given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemp-
tion through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accor-
dance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished
on us with all wisdom and understanding" (Ephesians
1:5-8).
Indeed, the salvation of mankind is founded on this
atonement which Christ perfected. For this to be
brought about, it was imperative that the Logos
(Word) Who in the beginning was with God, became
incarnate and partook with mankind in flesh and
blood in order to present himself at the altar of the
cross to atone for the sins of mankind. It is written:
"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared
in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy
him who holds the power of death — that is, the devil
— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery
by their fear of death" (Hebrews 2:14, 15).
Appropriate Verses on Salvation
"Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved
—you and your household" (Acts 16:31).
"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins
10

may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come
from the Lord" (Acts 3:19).
"Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the
name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts
2:38).
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteous-
ness" (I John 1:9).
"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is
Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God — not by works, so that no-one can boast"
(Ephesians 2:8,9).
"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have
sent" (John 17:3).
"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far
away have been brought near through the blood of
Christ" (Ephesians 2:13).
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship with one another, and the blood of
Jesus, his Son, purifies us from every sin" (I John
1:7).
"For God was pleased to have all his fulness dwell in
him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things,
whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making
peace through his blood, shed on the cross"
(Colossians 1:19,20).
"For you know that it was not with perishable things
11

such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the
empty way of life handed down to you from your
forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a
lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before
the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last
times for your sake" (I Peter 1:18-20).
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of
God's grace" (Ephesians 1:7).

VICTORY
OVER
SIN
You can have victory over sin by means of GRACE.
God has not left the believer totally to his own personal
effort and endeavor in order to free himself from sin
and accomplish his own salvation. God remains active
in the believer, as the apostle Paul said, "...work out
your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God
who works in you to will and to act according to his
good purpose" (Philippians 2:12,13).
The means of grace are many and include:
1. Continuing Mystic Communion with Christ
Christ is not merely a teacher or figurehead to the
believer. Inspired by this truth the apostle Paul prayed
for the Ephesians saying, "So that Christ may dwell in
your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being
rooted and established in love, may have power, to-
13

gether with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long
and high and deep is the love of Christ" (Ephesians
3:17,18).
The Bible gives many illustrations about the rela-
tionship between Christ and the believers. Christ is
described as the vine, and they the branches in John
15:1-3. He is also described as the holy structure, and
they the living stones (I Peter 2:5). Such is probably the
relationship which the Lord Jesus meant when he said,
"Here I Am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat
with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). He also
said, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching.
My Father will love him, and we will come to him and
make our home with him" (John 14:23).
Perhaps the most wonderful illustration on the
subject is the experience described by the apostle Paul
who said, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no
longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the
body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
We need to forget our individual ego and merge
completely into the Person of the Lord Jesus in order
to "abide in him, and he in us." We also need to abide
in his word, so that his word may be implanted into our
lives. Then whatever we ask shall be given to us, and
victory over sin will be ours for the taking.
2. Bible Study
The Lord Jesus said, "Man does not live on bread
alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of
God" (Matthew 4:4).
14

A review of the lives of men of God who lived
victorious lives, reveals that they were armed with the
sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, as seen
in Ephesians 6:17. We also know that those who
experienced a phase of weakness and defeat were able
to regain victory through the Divine Word. For
example, David, wrote the following song of victory:
"Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk
according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who
keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. They
do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways. You have laid
down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my
ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Then I
would not be put to shame when I consider all your
commands. I will praise you with an upright heart as I
learn your righteous laws. I will obey your decrees; do
not utterly forsake me. How can a young man keep his
way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you
with all my heart; do not let me stray from your
commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I
might not sin against you	" (Psalm 119:1-11).
In testimony of his victory over his sins, David also
wrote these verses: "The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are
trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of
the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The
commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the
eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether
righteous. They are more precious than gold, than
much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than
honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned;
15

in keeping them there is great reward." (Psalm 19:7-11).
Here is an example used by the apostle Paul in a
letter to his pupil Timothy: "and how from infancy you
have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to
make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ
Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness, so that the man of God may be
thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2
Timothy 3:15-17). Peter used another example to
illustrate the effect the word of God has on man. "And
we have the word of the prophets made more certain,
and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light
shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must
understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about
by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy
never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke
from God as they were carried along by the Holy
Spirit" (2 Peter 1:19-21).
3. Prayer
When the devil tried to tempt the disciples, the Lord
Jesus told them to pray that they might not enter into
temptation as in Luke 22:40. Temptation, if not kept at
bay, leads to lust, and lust, when practiced, leads to sin.
We must, therefore, pray insistently that we may not
enter into temptation and through it into sin and
finally perish.
16

4.	Determined Repentance
St. Basil said, "It is good that you do not sin. If you
sin you should not postpone repentance. If you repent
you should not commit the sin again. If you are able to
do that, you should know that this is made possible by
God, and if you realize this, you should thank God for
his grace and ask him continuously for further
guidance."
5.	Crucify the "Old Self'
The apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians. "You,
however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely
you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance
with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with
regard to your former way of life, to put off your old
self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to
be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put
on the new self, created to be like God in true righteous-
ness and holiness" (Ephesians 4:20-24).
Resort to Christ's love
It is said that the devil attacked St. Macarius during
his prayer, tempting him to harbor a feeling of pride.
The devil said, "What a perfect saint you are!"
Macarius replied, "You forget my many weaknesses
and shortcomings." On another occasion the devil tried
to bring despair into Macarius' heart when he said to
him, "How lacking you are and how full of unright-
eousness." Macarius said, "It is true I am full of
unrighteousness and shortcomings, but you have for-
gotten the love of Christ and his death for me. Through
his perfection my shortcomings are made up for."
17

7. Spiritual Meetings
It is an accepted fact that spiritual meetings are
among the best means God provides for believers to
grow and progress in the Christian life. We are told in
the Acts of the Apostles about the members of the first
church. "They devoted themselves to the apostles'
teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread
and to prayer" (Acts 2:42). So the Apostle instructs,
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on
towards love and good deeds. Let us not give up
meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but
let us encourage one another — and all the more as you
see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24,25).

FORGIVENESS
The word "forgiveness" in the Bible means the
covering of sin, to hide it or atone for it. It was used first
in Genesis 6:14, in the sense of a covering of "pitch." Its
meaning developed further to apply to "the covering"
in the Holy of Holies. In the New Testament it is used
in the sense of atonement for sin through the blood of
Christ. Responding to the question raised,
"forgiveness" means the "covering up" of our sin by
the atonement of Christ.
If we meditate on forgiveness in the Bible, it will
become obvious that Christ is our plea for the
forgiveness of our sins, because he atoned for them by
his death on the cross. The apostle John illustrates this
fact with his testimony when he wrote, "My dear
children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But
if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the
21

Father in our defenee — Jesus Christ, the Righteous
One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not
only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world"
(IJohn 2:1,2). Forgiveness also means "taking away"
as used by John the Baptist when he said of Christ,
"Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of
the world!" (John 1:29).
There may be some who would ask, "Who does God
not forgive without atonement?" The answer is (a) that
God has a moral code for all humanity. His justice and
righteousness demand that he respect the law, and the
law states that the soul that sins must die. (b) It is in the
interest of all humanity that the law be respected,
because the upholding of law guarantees peace and
order. And lastly, (c) mankind may have had a right to
ask such a question with its implied protest if men
themselves had been asked to offer the atonement.
"Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to
those who are under the law, so that every mouth may
be silenced and the whole world held accountable to
God" (Romans 3:19). We must realize that God is
abundant in mercy, and that for his good pleasure, "we
are justified freely by his grace through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a
sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He
did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his for-
bearance he had left the sins committed beforehand
unpunished" (Romans 3:24,25).
Man and Forgiveness
No one disputes the fact that people who feel the
burden of their sins, try to win God's favor by various
22

ways in order to have him forgive them. Some of these
means are discussed below.
1. Good Works
Good works as such are fine. But they cannot win
God's forgiveness for past sins. The Prophet Isaiah
declares this frankly when he says, "All of us have
become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous
acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and
like the wind our sins sweep us away" (Isaiah 64:6).
This fact became clear to the apostle Paul who left us
his testimony, inspired by the Holy Spirit: "Not by
works, so no-one can boast. For we are God's
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us to do"
(Ephesians 2:9,10).
As Paul illustrates above, good works give no man
forgiveness because they are a duty man has to perform
and for which he receives no forgiveness of sins. Christ
himself deals with this in his teaching, "So you also,
when you have done everything you were told to do,
should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only
done our duty'" (Luke 17:10).
Christ is reminding us of the first and greatest
commandment, "Love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind"
(Matthew 22:37). This commandment means that our
love for God must be accompanied by service offered to
him and doing that which is good in his sight.
Perhaps the most splendid example is given to us by
Kind David, when he and his men made an offering of a
large quantity of gold for the building of the Temple. He
23

said, "But who am I and who are my people, that we
should be able to give as generously as this? Everything
comes from you, and we have given you only what
comes from your hand. We are aliens and strangers in
your sight, as were all ourforefathers. Our days on earth
are like a shadow, without hope. O Lord our God, as
for all this abundance that we have provided for
building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes
from your hand, and all of it belongs to you" (I Chron-
icles 29:14-16).
It is true that good works are essential because they
agree with what is in the mind of God. But good works
cannot buy forgiveness; otherwise, the word "grace"
would need to be erased from all dictionaries.
2. Prayer
Prayer is not the means for forgiveness. A sinner has
already offended God and cannot undo the offense by
prayer, nor can he by prayer win God's mercy because
God's mercy is tied to his absolutely perfect justice.
A sinner cannot enjoy the intercession of the Holy
Spirit who brings the soul of man into harmony with
God, intercedes in his prayer and makes such prayer
effective.
The question might be asked, "Since this is the case,
who can pray?" The answer is anyone, who has accept-
ed Christ and obtained forgiveness for his sins by the
blood of the Redeemer's cross, can pray. Prayer,
therefore, is not a means to obtain forgiveness. Rather,
it is a good relationship which man enjoys with God
after his sins have been forgiven.
24

3.	Fasting
Fasting is a form of self-abasement and contrition of
the soul, but it is not enough to undo the offense done to
God because of sin. It does not, therefore, bestow
forgiveness on the sinner.
Experience has taught that those who fast in order to
win grace with God are not in fact doing any useful
work for God or mankind. Nor do they deserve
recompense for fasting. God said, "When you fasted
and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the
past seventy years, was it really for me that you fast-
ed?" (Zechariah 7:5).
4.	Intercession
There is no teaching in the Bible to the effect that
intercession by holy men or saints, who lived before us,
forgave sin. The apostolic teaching simply says, "For
there is one God and one mediator between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a
ransom for all men-the testimony given in its proper
time" (I Timothy 2:5, 6).
"So you also, when you have done everything you
were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy
servants; we have only done our duty'" (Luke
17:10).
5.	Repentence
Repentence is excellent. It prevents the perpetrating
of many sins. But, as good as it is, it cannot forgive
previous sins. Take for example a murderer who, while
being tried, gives a solemn promise to refrain from
committing further crime. Would the judge find in the
25

criminal's promise sufficient ground to pardon him?
Not at all. The judge has been entrusted to uphold
justice. How could the Holy Judge of the heavens and
the earth break his own law which dictates: "The soul
who sins is the one who will die..." (Ezekiel 18:20).
How then can forgiveness be obtained?
This question has been asked by every sinner whose
conscience was awakened from the slumber of death in
every age and generation. The answer is that forgive-
ness is obtained by redemption. We read the following
wonderful passage of praise spoken by Paul to the
believers at Colosse, "Giving thanks to the Father,
who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the
saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us
from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the
kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemp-
tion, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:12-14).
This fact was revealed to men of God who testified
to what was revealed to them. The prophet Isaiah
writes, "After the suffering of his soul, he will see the
light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my
righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear
their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion
among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the
strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and
was numbered with the trangressors. For he bore the sin
of many, and made intercession for the transgressors"
(Isaiah 53:11, 12).
Forgiveness is obtained freely by grace, and Christ is
the means of such grace. Because in him the Father has
chosen us for everlasting life; in him we have been
26

adopted as sons; and in him we are blessed with every
spiritual blessing in the heavens.
Through this grand redemption, Christ has become
mediator for our peace with God. The fruit of redemp-
tion is the forgiveness of sins. There is no limit to such
forgiveness since God is rich in mercy because of his
bounteous love. The results of forgiveness are —
a)	God's wrath toward a sinner ceases and is
replaced by divine pleasure in accordance with the
riches of his grace which he has bestowed upon us by his
Beloved,
b)	termination of unnecessary pain caused by a guilty
conscience protesting in man's heart, and
c)	suspension of the punishment which man deserves
for his sins and the healing of his conscience from "dead
works" to serve the living God.

his own son
But gave him up
for us all
will he not also give us
all things with him?

WHY
SALVATION
God created man in the best form. It was God's will in
his wisdom to endow man with a mind to comprehend
subjects if he thinks correctly. In the process of his
thinking man tends to ask questions. Perhaps the most
important question occupying man's mind since the fall
is — "What must I do to be saved?"
When the apostle Paul said, "How shall we escape, if
we neglect so great a salvation, which at first was spoken
by the Lord," he was admitting that salvation was the
most important subject relative to man. Paul was
probably lost for words and expressed it as being "such a
great salvation" that it moved the Almighty and
occupied his mind to bring it about. "God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those
under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons"
(Galatians 4:4, 5).
28

If salvation is of such crucial importance, we must
examine its significance. I am at a loss to illustrate the
advantages of such a salvation or describe it to you. But
I will endeavor to make a passing observation on its
greatness, realizing I do so with the spontaneity of a
believer who surrendered himself to the Lord Jesus our
Savior and discovered these truths:
1.	The price paid by Christ to obtain salvation for us
was of such tremendous significance that it inspired
Peter's famous teaching, "Since you call on a Father
who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives
as strangers here in reverent fear. For you know that it
was not with perishable things such as silver and gold
that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your forefathers, but with
the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish
or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the
world, but was revealed in these last times for your
sake" (1 Peter 1:17-20).
This is the costly price God paid for salvation. It cost
God much more to work out the salvation of man than
to create him. Creation was done by a word from his
mouth, but salvation was different. God spared not his
Son but gave him for us all. Surely a salvation of such
magnanimity, which God himself bore terrible pain to
achieve, must be of unique importance.
2.	What has he saved us from? He saved us from very
terrible sin, from its burden, and from its punishment
which is death. Paul's testimony in this respect says,
"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full accep-
tance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners
— of whom I am the worst" ( 1 Timothy. 1:15). The
29

Gospel says, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to
save what was lost" (Luke 19:10).
He saved us from the power of the devil, as it is
written, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing
good and healing all who were under the power of the
devil, because God was with him" (Acts 10:38).
3. What are the results of salvation? Those who have
been saved experience many spiritual privileges and
blessings including:
a)	The horn of salvation for us for strength (Luke
1:69).
b)	The rock of salvation for firmness (Psalm 95:1).
c)	The helmet of salvation for protection (Ephes-
ians 6:17).
d)	The cup of salvation for joy (Psalm 116:13).
e)	Water wells of salvation for quenching thirst
(Isaiah 12:3).
f)	Garments of salvation for spiritual beauty (Isaiah
61:10).
By salvation we are also justified and are able to
enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
This peace translates us into the abundant life which
the Lord God wants for us, in preparation for
everlasting happiness in Jerusalem, the heavenly city of
peace.
Such salvation, which guarantees us the enjoyment of
all these spiritual privileges and blessings in heaven,
must be of very great significance.
Dear Reader, I would like to go back to the question
asked by the apostle Paul. How can we be saved if we
30

neglect such a tremendous salvation? Are we safe if we
neglect such a great salvation? Are we safe if we neglect
the call of the Gospel to a salvation of such magnitude
that God himself appeared in the flesh to accomplish it?
Salvation is of greater significance than the religion
revealed in the Old Testament with all its rituals and
practices. Here are some reasons why this is so.
God himself began to speak of it. In the very begin-
ning God said that the seed of the woman shall bruise
the head of the serpent in Genesis 3:15. His mediator
the Lord Jesus, who is greater than the angels, who
were the mediators of the Old Testament, declared it
and brought it about by the sacrifice of himself. This
has become the cornerstone of the Christian faith,
which the Lord handed down to the apostles equipping
them with his Spirit to preach it to the nations.
It was confirmed to us, in that it was presented in a
way so certain and worthy of being believed, because it
agreed with the revelations of the prophets who gave us
the message of salvation led by the Holy Spirit.
It was testified to by those who heard it, the apostles
who were disciples of the Lord Jesus in the days of his
flesh, and who received from him directly the word of
truth, the gospel of salvation, and preached it to the
world, beginning from Jerusalem unto the ends of the
earth.
God himself was witness with these disciples, mani-
festing various powers and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The
apostles' preaching of the gospel of salvation was
supported by miracles which God worked out at their
hands, such as the healing of the sick, speaking with
strange tongues and prophesying.
31

Now that we are more conversant with the significance
of so great a salvation we might ask, "What must we do to
be saved?" This is the eternal question which every person
in every language under the sun keeps asking. There is no
answer to it other than what the apostle Raul gave to the
jailer of the Philippian prison nearly two thousand years
ago. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be
saved — you and your household" (Acts 16:31).
Accept the salvation of God with thanks, and Christ
will fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit and give
you victory and, in the end, the crown of life. Keep
yourself unblemished in the love of God, expecting the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for life everlasting.
Remember a soul is very dear to God to the extent that
he bought it by the death of his own Son. Do not neglect
your soul; spare no effort to preserve it.
A man once sold all he owned and bought a rare je wel
of great value. He took the jewel with him on a voyage to
a distant land. On the ship's deck he was examining the
beautiful jewel and admiring its brilliance under the
light of the sun. He kept playing with it. He threw it up
into the air despite the warnings of his friends about
throwing it so high. Then the expected happened. A
higher toss than usual sent the jewel away into the
depths of the sea. The man cried in anguish, "I lost it! I
lost it!"
This is a true story. It serves as a warning to any man
who gambles with his life. You might be that precious
jewel! You are playing about with your soul which God
has entrusted to you. Are you neglecting to take due care
of it by casting it into the air of worldly lusts? You risk
landing it in the depths of corruption and eternal loss.
32

THE
CROWN
OF LIFE
We read in Revelation 2:10 a command to remain loyal
which Christ requires from every believer. "Be faithful,
even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of
life." This divine command reflects two very important
truths. The first one is that our faithfulness to Christ is a
precious gem which we must very carefully keep even
though that involves sacrificing our very lives. The
second is that our faithfulness to Christ must continue all
through our lives; so that when the end comes, it will be
found wholly stable because we ourselves are a trust in
the hand of Christ.
Such faithfulness has an invaluable reward, the crown
of life. This is the crown which Christ won after crushing
the power of death and overcoming the grave. Christ
who put an end to death, gives the crown of life to him
who overcomes. Here is what the Bible says about it.
33

1.	The crown of splendor and royal diadem is the
crown which the Lord has prepared for the body of
believers (the Church) whom Christ bought with his
blood (Isaiah 62:3).
2.	The crown of glory that will never fade away is given
to the faithful shepherds of the flock of Christ( 1 Peter5:4).
3.	The crown of righteousness given to those who
live in righteousness, as a result of faith in Christ and the
hope of his coming. It is the reward for fighting the
good fight and completing the course (2 Timothy 4:7,8).
4.	The crown of life is given to a faithful believer for
facing temptation and coming out blameless. This was
the reward of martyrs whom death could not rob of
faithfulness to Christ.
This, in brief, is the crown of faith which the Lord
promised to those who love him. In the Gospel lan-
guage it is a symbol of everlasting life and a crown of
victory which a faithful believer receives directly from
the hand of Christ. Christ commanded us to preserve it
when he said, "I am coming soon. Hold on to what you
have, so that no-one will take your crown" (Revelation
3:11). Inspired by this command the apostle Paul bids
the Colossians, "Do not let anyone who delights in false
humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for
the prize" (Colossians 2:18).
By this command Christ may have intended to warn
his followers not to take liberties as did Esau "... who
for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest
son. Afterwards, as you know, when he wanted to
inherit his blessing, he was rejected. He could bring
about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing
with tears" (Hebrews 12:16-17).
34

Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword? As it is written,
"For your sake we are being killed
all the day long; we are regarded
as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things
WE ARE MORE THAN
=CONOUERORS
	through him that loved us.
Romans 8:35-37

QUESTION
How can I be completely saved and forsake sin?
Is it enough, for salvation, to be baptized and to believe?
What else has a repentant person to do after his sins are
forgiven?
A.L.G.
Alexandria,
Egypt.
36

HOW
CAN WE BE
SAVED?
Before his ascension, Christ commanded his dis-
ciples, "Go into all the world and preach the good news
to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe will be con-
demned" (Mark 16:15, 16). We understand, from the
way the holy apostles explained the Lord's command,
that all mankind is condemned to perish, but he who
believes in Christ obtains in his name forgiveness for his
past sins and is saved from the power of sin.
In fact, when we ponder over the teaching of the
Bible about saving faith, we discover that God has
prepared salvation for us and that saving faith has
important characteristics which include:
1. Alertness to divine revelations in Holy Scripture
and belief in its contents about the salvation which was
prepared for us in Christ; acceptance of the truth of the
37

revelations of the Bible about the natural fallen state of
mankind and their need of Christ. This mental state,
however, is not sufficient by itself to win salvation, but
it does guide man in the path of saving faith.
2.	Personal conviction based on the need of the
fallen soul. This conviction brings about a sense of
praise and thanksgiving to God for paving the appro-
priate way for salvation in Christ, prepared freely for
our fallen nature.
3.	Voluntary dependence on Christ who is our Lord
and Savior. This involves confession of sin and
realization of our lack of merit. This turns on Christ's
saving power over us; also, our accepting him as our
personal Savior and holding on to him as our only
means of forgiveness, atonement and spiritual life.
This is based on many verses in the Bible which
explain ho w we come to Christ to obtain salvation from
him.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and
learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and
you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28, 29).
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in
his name, he gave the right to become children of God"
(John 1:12).
"But whoever drinks the water I give him will never
thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a
spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4:14).
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and
whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you
believe this?" (John 11:25, 26).
38

"Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the
presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this
book. But these are written that you may believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by be-
lieving you may have life in his name" (John 20:30,31).
"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-
you and your household" (Acts 16:31).
We might now add that saving faith has both a
general and a personal feature. The general is con-
tained in divine revelations, and the personal is none
other than Christ and what he did as a Redeemer.
Saving faith, in other words, depends on the divine
promise of salvation in Christ. The following are some
illustrations that Christ is the cornerstone of sal-
vation.
1.	Christ's Testimony
Christ often called on people to believe in him. He
said that if they did not believe, they would be
condemned "that everyone who believes may have
eternal life. Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because he has not believed in the name of God's one
and only Son. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal
life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for
God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:15, 18, 36).
2.	The need to accept Christ
The texts that declare we are saved by accepting
Christ are many.
"We accept man's testimony, but God's testimony is
greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has
39

given about his Son. Anyone who believes in the Son of
God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does
not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because
he has not believed the testimony God has given about
his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son
has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not
have life" (1 John 5:9-12).
"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is
born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves
his child as well" (1 John 5:1).
It is evident from the above quotations that all that is
required of us for salvation is to accept Christ and the
testimony which God records concerning his Son —
faith that Christ is the Son of the living God. Christ
himself is the object of faith which ensures salvation.
Faith, therefore, means looking to Christ, having faith
in him and surrendering ourselves to him.
3. The apostolic teaching
Likewise Paul taught that we are justified by faith in
Christ. Faith, here, is not only mental or mere general
faith in God, in divine revelation or in eternal facts, but it
is faith in which Christ is the object. Paul says, "This
righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus
Christ to all who believe" (Romans 3:22).
To the Galatians he says: "Know that a man is not
justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus
Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that
we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by
observing the law, because by oberving the law no-one
will be justified" (Galatians 2:16); "Before this faith
40

came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up
until faith should be revealed" (Galatians 3:23); "I have
been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but
Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself
for me" (Galatians 2:20).
4.	Christ's offering himself a ransom for us
We read in the Bible that Christ gave himself to
redeem many and that he made himself an atonement
for sins and offered himself a sacrifice to God. We also
read that people are saved only by the merit of his
righteousness and death.
As he is our Redeemer, the atonement for our sins,
and since by faith in him, we are reconciled to God, we
must accept him as such and place our trust in him. The
Gospel is geared in its entirety to provide for the fact
that Christ, in himself and by what he has done, is the
object of faith and the basis of trust.
5.	Our life is in Christ, by faith
This is proved by the many texts which relate the
believers to Christ. The Bible says that "we are in him
by faith," "he abides in us," "he is the head and we are
the parts in him," "our life is from him," "he is the vine
and we are the branches," and that "he is the author of
our faith and its perfecter." All these and similar verses
exclude any suggestion that mere general faith in God
or the Bible assures our salvation. They also confirm
that "saving faith" ends up in Christ who becomes our
God and Savior personally.
We also read in the Bible that God sent forth his Son
41

into the world to save the world. Further, Christ died
for our sins and was raised to justify us, and that he was
meant by God to be wisdom, righteousness, holiness
and redemption for us. Those who accept such a
Savior, as he reveals himself to be, those who surrender
their souls into his hand, and those who devote them-
selves to his service are the true believers as the Bible
intends them to be. They are consequently saved by
grace.
There is no doubt that every believer accepts Christ
and regards him as his Savior from the evils of sin. The
Bible says that to his followers. Christ is Prophet, Priest
and King. It also says he is the source of life, light and
happiness and the object of worship and love.
If salvation is of such crucial importance for the
deeper life and for eternity, we are bound to raise a
question about its nature and meaning in every sense.
What then is salvation?
Indeed, Christianity's total theme from beginning to
end is the only way of salvation. Its founder and
builder is the Incarnate Word of God, who came to the
world with the name of Jesus which means "God the
Savior." Salvation is illustrated by the message of
Christ, and Christianity involves saving man from sin.
The angel said to the Virgin Mary, "She will give birth
to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins"
(Matthew 1:21). Christ said of himself, "For the Son of
Man came to seek and to save what was lost" (Luke
19:10).
By now, you will have perceived that a repentant
person does not obtain salvation by the mere interven-
42

tion of a priest to absolve him of his sins. There is no
priest, saint, prophet or angel who has power to ab-
solve anyone from sin. Only one Person has this power.
He is Jesus Christ. It is written of him, "Salvation is
found in no-one else, for there is no other name under
heaven given to men by which we must be saved"
(Acts 4:12).
