SALVATION – Preaching
Preaching Outline on Ephesians 1:4-5 – “Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love; and predestined us to be sons of adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,”
SALVATION is a gift from GOD
It’s yours, do with it what you will!
The gift is given in measure, and the measure is the same for everyone.
You will realize that SALVATION is an ACT OF GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY, you didn’t even know it, but GOD gave it to you.
It’s a gift, and you have to use it.
What sustains SALVATION is FAITH, because it is a GIFT FROM GOD, and what GOD puts at your disposal you have to use.
God chose us before the foundation of the world – I Peter 1:2
In Ephesians 1:4 and I Peter 1:2, what word accompanies these verses? R.: SANCTIFICATION
Pre-science: Before the foundation of the world = Election made in Eternity
JESUS bought our election from the FATHER. JESUS found us so far from home, already lost in the world and without the strength to return, and now we are already going home. Home is not here.
How will you return home? Through the way = JESUS = in SANCTIFICATION = Holy Spirit
The disciples asked JESUS: How do I go to the FATHER? He answered in John 14:6
Why SANCTIFICATION?
Man does not know the way, but the Holy Spirit reveals the way. The prodigal son came to his senses and said: Nobody gives me anything here! He got up and when he entered the path, the FATHER saw him. The FATHER sees everyone who enters the path and wants to return home. The prodigal son never looked back. The man who accepts JESUS cannot miss the world.
A gift from the FATHER
SALVATION is a gift from the FATHER, he has put your name in the book of life. You are not only marked in name, but there is a blood mark, he predestined you. He foresaw that you would be his. Now it’s essential that your blood be the same as the FATHER’s blood for His SON. So JESUS exchanged your mortal blood for an eternal blood so that you could live in eternity where you were elected. JESUS said: In the house of my FATHER there are many dwellings. JESUS did one thing: he redeemed you, because you were condemned to sin, to death, to perdition. But he bought you all with a good price, a high price, his sacrifice, cost the blood of JESUS.
By your efforts do you enter eternity? No! Then JESUS opened a way back to eternity. And JESUS became the SUMO-SACERDOTE, and in JESUS you become the SACERDOTE. It’s by blood. Blood? Yes, by his HOLY SPIRIT. The praise says: My sin was redeemed, it was on the cross for your love…1123
Many live like beggars, dying without anyone noticing, because they haven’t discovered what they hold inside them as a secret: IMMORTALITY. So they die without an owner, without anyone, without a name.
There is nothing better for the believer in JESUS when he discovers election, sanctification, immortality, that Salvation is a gift from GOD to you.
In II Peter 2:20, Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:38 and Galatians 5:4, grace is man’s way out of sin.
