Salvation produces holiness according to 1 Peter 1:14-16. Salvation rescues people from sin, its guilt, power, and eventual presence. It saves Christians from God's wrath, eternal death, sin's dominion, and a life of fear. While on earth, Christians still struggle with indwelling sin but the Holy Spirit helps them gain victory. The purpose of salvation is to make people holy because human nature is inherently sinful and opposed to obeying God. All people have some knowledge of God through their conscience but deny their sinful nature.

1. THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PETER CHAPTER ONE VERSES FOURTEEN TO SIXTEEN
SAVLVATION PRODUCES HOLINESS
PASTOR/TEACHER CHARLES e. WHISNANT
THE PURPOSE OF SALVATION IS THAT SALVATION WILL PRODUCE HOLINESS IN US
1A WHAT IS SALVATION:
1B Salvation means being rescued from jeopardy and misery, so that one is now safe.
Exodus 52:2; Jonah 2:9 and Psalms 116:6
2B Salvation from sin and its consequences.
3B Salvation has three tenses
1C from sin's guilt (the past aspect, exposure to penalty is gone)
2C from its power (the present apsect: sin no longer rules us
3C from its presence (the future aspect: sin will one day be no more than a bad
memory.)
4B Christians have been saved from:
1C from the wrath of God (Romans 5:9; 1 Thess. 1:10
2C from eternal death: Romans 6:21 and 23
3C from the dominion of sin: Romans 6:14, 18
4C from the life of fear: Romans 8:15
5C from controlling habits of ungodliness and immorality: Titus 2:12
Christians will one day be fully conformed to Jesus in body and moral character:
Philippians 3:20 and I John 3:2.
5B While we live in joyful favor with God, we serve out of a gratitude of worship, there is
this indwelling sin. But through the energy of the Holy Spirit we gain victory: Romans 5:12;
12:1; 8:14; Galatians 5:16. Romans 7:24 and 8:23.
6B The Desire For Holiness:
For the moment the ability for holiness exceeds our ability. God's does give us
salvation, and we are into our salvation, but salvation is not yet fully into us. We have
a taste, but the full effect is yet future.
7B Salvation Gives Us The Following
1C Forgiveness, justification, reconciliation, pardon, acceptance, standing,
fellowship. John 5:24 and Romans 8:32-39.
2C Salvation also put us in Christ: called "union with Christ.". Romans 5:12-19

2. Ephesians 4:20-24 and Colossians 1:27; 5:4.
3C Our life as a moral person is supernaturalized by the Holy Spirit which makes the
presence of Christ "to us", and reproduces in us the what God's gives us:
1D The desires, aims, attitudes, and behavior patterns that we see in Jesus
Christ.
2A THE PURPOSE OF OUR SALVATION: BECAUSE OF SIN
1B The question is why do we need salvation: Note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-

need salvation. https://riversofjoybaptist.wordpress.com/
2B The Definition of Sin
1C Any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God.
2C It is an energy, an obsession, an allergic reaction to God's law, an irrational anti-
God syndrome.
3C Our very nature is driven toward self-gratification.
4C Here is sin in action: it is nonconformity to God in several ways:
1E rebellion against God.
2E transgression of the bounds God's sets for us.
3E missing the mark God has told us to aim at.
4E defiling oneself in the sight of God
5C Sin: The mind of sinful man is death. its hostile to God, It do not submit to
God's law, nor can the mind do so. Romans 8:6-8.
3B The Bible is like a mirror for self-knowledge, that is the Bible shows us ourselves as
we are.
4B "No smokescreen of religioustiy can save us from sin."
5B Do all people know that they are sinners? Yes and No. All people know where are
not they obey God or reject His ways. And as result they don't believe they are
sinners. All people have a certain amount of knowledge of God, thus they are
without excuse: Romans 1:18.
