SOTERIA: Salvation, the Savior and the Saved (8)
Redemption is often used as a synonym for salvation. But in its own right, it is a distinct work of God in salvation, which addresses a specific problem of fallen man—our enslavement to sin.
SOTERIA: Salvation, the Savior and the Saved (1)
Salvation is not a singular act of God. Viewing salvation this way, as a singular, one time act of God, will rob us of seeing the vastness and richness of God’s salvation. It is also the reason some think of salvation as what can be lost. But the Bible’s revelation of God’s salvation shows salvation, not as a singular act of God and one time event, but as a broad theme that captures all the gracious actions and activities of God to rescue man from the penalties and power of sin, and bestow His glorious riches on him, including eternal life and the provisions for a full, rich life.
