The Essence of Salvation

Problem of Sin:

Man’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden

Genesis 3—All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

Penalty of Sin:  

Sin separates God and man; For the wages of sin is death (physical and spiritual death).  Romans 5:12;6:23

---

Provision for Sin:  

Jesus’ substitutionary death on the cross; but God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.  Romans 5:8

---

Profession of Faith:  

Authentic profession; 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
