Lesson 5 of 28
Salvation and New Life
Learn what it means to be saved by grace, forgiven, made new, and secure in Christ.
Saved by grace
Salvation is God’s gift. We receive it through faith in Jesus, not as a reward for our own goodness.
Where to read: Ephesians 2:1–10.
Ephesians 2:8–9“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Forgiven and made new
Everyone who belongs to Christ is forgiven and begins a new life. Growth takes time, but our identity and direction are changed.
Where to read: 2 Corinthians 5 and 1 John 1.
2 Corinthians 5:17“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
1 John 1:9“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
No condemnation in Christ
Believers still need correction and growth, but they are not condemned before God because Jesus carried their judgment.
Where to read: Romans 8.
Romans 8:1“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.”
Held by Jesus
Our hope rests in Christ’s power and promise. He gives eternal life to His people and calls them to continue following Him.
Where to read: John 10:22–30.
John 10:28“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
