Application of Abraham's Calling: Salvation | Elder (Dr.) Sam Alfa


Listen Later

In this highly insightful episode, Elder (Dr.) Sam Alfa unpacks the theological depths of salvation by looking at the calling of Abraham. Just as Abraham was called out of his father's household to leave idolatry behind, the Church (the Ecclesia) is also called out to be separated from the world and inherit a blessing.


But what does it truly mean to be saved? Elder Alfa tackles common misconceptions—including the controversial doctrine of "eternal security" (once saved, always saved)—and explains why salvation is an active, ongoing journey.


This teaching breaks down the three distinct but deeply connected phases of Christian salvation:


  • Justification (Past): The moment you are declared legally righteous by God's grace, delivering you from the penalty of sin.


  • Sanctification (Present): The progressive, daily work of the Holy Spirit freeing you from the power of sin as you grow in holiness.


  • Glorification (Future): The final, perfect state in heaven where believers are entirely delivered from the presence of sin.


Whether you are seeking a clearer understanding of God's grace or looking for biblical encouragement to continue growing in righteousness, this teaching provides a powerful foundation.


Join us as we explore what it means to truly walk in faith and daily pursue the ultimate goal of glorification with Christ.
