    Study Notes

    Understanding Biblical Salvation

    • Salvation encompasses rescue from hell and eternal separation from God, as well as restoration and adoption as God’s children in this life and the next.
    • Many Christians identify as "saved," recognizing God's deliverance from sin and inclusion in His family.

    Salvation and Good Works

    • Good works are not a requirement for salvation. Biblical references emphasize that both Jews and Gentiles are equally under sin, indicating universal need for salvation.
    • Humans are inherently unable to please God because of sin; Romans 8:8 states that those in the flesh cannot please God.

    God's Holiness and Requirements

    • God requires holiness from His followers, as indicated in Leviticus 11:44, necessitating purity to be aligned with His character.
    • God's justice entails that sin must face repercussions, underscoring the necessity of Christ's sacrifice for atonement.

    Repentance and Turning to Christ

    • Godly sorrow leads to salvation, marking a significant emotional and spiritual transition; it is not merely self-pity or guilt.
    • Signs of true repentance include a deep hatred of sin and a heartfelt desire for Christ, the ultimate treasure.

    True Belief in Christ

    • Genuine belief is rooted in recognizing God's holiness, human sinfulness, and our inability to save ourselves.
    • John 3:16 highlights that eternal life is granted to those who genuinely believe in Jesus Christ, distinguishing this from mere acknowledgment, like that of demons.

    Assurance of Salvation

    • Assurance comes from a tangible change within individuals following salvation; the former identity as a sinner is replaced by a new life in Christ (Galatians 2:20).
    • The resurrection of Christ assures believers of eternal life; His risen body signifies victory over death, as well as assurance that believers will not perish.

    Doubts and Confidence

    • Doubts about salvation are common, particularly among new believers. Assurance is derived not from feelings but from believing God’s promises and the fact of being His child (John 1:12).
    • Security in salvation rests not on human actions but on God’s power and faithfulness.

    Key References for Memorization

    • Ephesians 2:8-9 reinforces that salvation is a gift from God, available to all who believe in Christ.
    • 1 John offers assurance, emphasizing that certainty of eternal life can be found in faith, not performance.

    The Importance of God's Word

    • Salvation marks the beginning of a Christian's journey, symbolizing becoming a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17).
    • Growth as a Christian is essential, and God provides guidance through His Word.
    • The Bible serves as the primary means for spiritual growth (1 Peter 2:2), akin to an infant needing nurturing.
    • Knowledge of God and guidance on living for His glory comes from studying Scripture.

    What God Says About His Word

    • God emphasizes the importance of His Word (Psalm 138:2).
    • Christ affirmed the truth and fulfillment of all Scripture (Matthew 5:17-18; John 10:35).
    • One purpose of the Old Testament is to lead individuals to Christ (John 5:39).
    • Christ declared His words will endure eternally (Matthew 24:35).
    • All Scripture is inspired and useful for teaching and correction (2 Timothy 3:16).
    • Receiving God's Word allows for purification and growth (James 1:21).
    • Being born again comes through the imperishable Word of God (1 Peter 1:23), which is foundational and eternal.

    Purpose of the Bible

    • Faith in Christ arises from hearing God's Word (Romans 10:17).
    • The Gospel of John was written to encourage belief in Jesus as the Messiah (John 20:30-31).

    Seven Blessings of Studying the Word of God

    • Keep from sin: Engaging with Scripture helps prevent sinful behavior (Psalm 119:11).
    • Build up, or grow, spiritually: The Bible provides wisdom to enhance spiritual growth (Psalm 119:99).
    • Live and have hope: God's Word illuminates life's path (Psalm 119:105).
