Lesson Six
Summary Statement:
We believe that salvation, planned in eternity and promised throughout Scripture, is God's gracious act of rescue whereby he delivers lost and sinful people through faith in Christ's redemptive work. Because of his great love, God makes people spiritually alive in Christ through regeneration by the Holy Spirit. By grace, God forgives and justifies people through faith, apart from works, conferring upon them all the benefits of union with Christ, including the gift of God's righteousness, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and adoption into his family.
