Basic Theology: God The Redeemer Part 2 – DTS026
The Bible is God’s written word that affirms that He is creator and that He acts with a purpose. God made mankind in His image. What was His purpose in creating us? Redemption. His purpose was to make us holy and righteous. Even though man sinned, God accomplished His purpose through Jesus Christ.
Salvation is the theme of the Bible. The New Testament builds the doctrine of salvation and redemption on God’s creation of all mankind from one man and one woman. All come from Adam, and all are saved through Christ. Acts 17:26-27 tell us that all of mankind are one people and that all are worth saving.
Sin is the supreme choice of self over God. Every human with a moral conscience will and does sin. 1 Kings 8:46-52 reminds us that people have always sinned and will always need salvation. Psalms 143 is one of David’s reminders that no one is righteous and it is from God that we seek salvation. Ecclesiastes 7:20, Romans 3, and 1 John 1:8-10 are other places in scripture that God teaches this fact.
God has accomplished salvation for us in Jesus Christ. He has redeemed us. He has done it for us. We do not, and cannot, do it on our own. The famous verse John 3:16 tells us that God has done the work for us. We only have to trust and believe. He has paid the penalty and offered His life on our behalf. In John 12:44-50, Jesus tells us that he came to save the world. When he came the first time, He did not come to judge and determine who would be condemned. This will be what happens when He comes again. Jesus first came to save, and it is only by His name that we are saved (Acts 4:11-12).
Salvation is not a work that we do, but is something that God has accomplished for us. Ephesians 2:8-9 teach that salvation is a gift of God’s grace that is given through faith. Even faith is a gift and not conjured up any time we want it. Our willingness to believe is a gift so that the redemption we receive through the blood of Christ is given out of the riches of His grace. God provided His own sacrifice and His own resurrection.
Jesus went to each of His disciples and called them. They did not come to Jesus on their own. Jesus taught this himself. Jesus confronted them, and all they did was respond. In John 6:63-65, Jesus teaches that no one can come to him unless the Father first calls them.
Our salvation is not our holding onto God, but instead is God holding onto us. Because no one is greater than God,
