In this first message of the series, we define salvation as deliverance from sin. The good news is that Jesus has already provided the payment for our sin in advance. Therefore, we have forgiveness if we put our faith in God and Jesus.

Justification is the act of declaring someone or something righteous and we all need to be justified. Here are four key truths about justification. 1. We receive justification by faith 2. Justification takes place when we have faith 3. We are justified by God's grace, not our own doing 4. We are justified by the blood of Jesus

The greatest image of reconciliation in all history is God sacrificing his Son for us. We need to accept the free gift by giving our life to Jesus. Once we've done that, we should rejoice, talk to God in prayer routinely, and talk to others about God as well.

Jesus has already paid our debt. When we accept that gift and put our faith in Jesus we are redeemed. We're redeemed from the penalty of sin and the power of sin and one day we'll be redeemed form the presence of sin. So, live today like you're redeemed!

Living out your faith as a Christian will set you apart from the world around you. Pay attention to how you conduct yourself. Does your life look different from the world around you?

By nature, we're all dead in our sins, but by grace through faith, we can be saved. Do not conform to the patterns of this world...you have newness of life!

With Christ, we have access to adoption. Where once we were strangers to God, now we are His children. Praise God!
