- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The one Christian doctrine that is perhaps more important than any other is the doctrine of salvation.
- 00:24
- In other words, how do we get right with God? Because this is the one doctrine that separates
- 00:30
- Christianity, biblical Christianity, that is from every other false man -made religion.
- 00:36
- Because it is only in Christianity, what we see in the Bible, that says that God did all the work, and that he brings us to repentance, that he gifts us salvation.
- 00:49
- So what we end up seeing is that every other world religion will add human works to getting right with God, and yet what we see in the
- 00:56
- Bible is that God is the one who did all the work, when he himself became a man on the cross and died in our place.
- 01:04
- What ends up happening at salvation? Well there's a lot of things that happen simultaneously. We end up seeing that we're regenerated, at the same time we're converted.
- 01:12
- There's also justification, meaning that we are in a state where we are now just before God. We're adopted into his family where we were previously an enemy of God, now we're adopted as a child of God.
- 01:23
- We are baptized into the Spirit, the Holy Spirit indwells us, gives us gifts, and we start the process of sanctification.
- 01:31
- We are now persevere, we now will remain in a state where we have eternal life, and we await the day that we will be glorified.
- 01:41
- When we look at all these things, we end up seeing salvation is a wonderful gift, something that the Jews look forward to, and something we can look back to in awe that God would save us.
