Salvation
Salvation THINGS YOU WILL LEARN
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No man can come to
the father except through me. ~John 14:6
 I received Salvation, what happens now?
 What changes happen after salvation?
 What is the Holy Spirit?
 What does it mean to be part of God’s family?
Salvation I RECEIVED SALVATION WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a
soldier.
2nd Timothy 2:4
Salvation
 Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto
him, and, he saw the Spirit of the Lord descend on him like a dove, and lightening upon him: and lo a voice
from heaven saying, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Then was Jesus lead of the Spirit into
the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
~Matthew 3:14 – 4:1
 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you
to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that
you will be able to endure it.
~1st Corinthians 10:13
I RECEIVED SALVATION WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
Salvation
 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
~Psalms 34:19
 Jesus replied, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?“
~John 11:40
 Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard
seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible
for you.”
~Matthew 17:20
I RECEIVED SALVATION WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
Salvation WHAT CHANGES HAPPEN AFTER I HAVE BEEN SAVED?
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
~2nd Timothy 2:15
Salvation
 The truth is, we are made in the image of God so there are 3 parts to us. The mind, body, and spirit. If you invest in
your body you can become a body builder, play football, run, or any other exercise that requires strength and
endurance.
 The same is true of your mind and your spirit. If properly educated (not necessarily through school) you can
achieve things people who are too lazy to educate themselves don’t achieve. There are so many stories of people
with learning disabilities and mental handicaps achieving amazing things because they wanted it bad enough.
They didn’t make excuses and they never gave up.
 You can feed your spirit by feeding yourself with spiritual things. You can feed it things that bring you closer to
God or things that bring you closer to Satan. It is up to you. It is easy to get closer to Satan all you need to do is the
things that are like him. The same is true of God.
WHAT CHANGES HAPPEN AFTER I HAVE BEEN SAVED?
Salvation
 I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may
live.
~Deuteronomy 30:19
 He came to His own home, and His own people received Him not. But to all who received Him, who believed in
His name, He gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of man, but of God.
~John 1:10-13
 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
~Acts 1:8
WHAT CHANGES HAPPEN AFTER I HAVE BEEN SAVED?
Salvation WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all
truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak
what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
~John 13:16
Salvation
 Natural and Spiritual: If I said a company had 3 managers but they all have different roles does that mean
they are not all managers or that one is higher ranking than another? Nope!
 The Holy Spirit is God (just as much as Jesus and the Father). He hasn’t been given an actual name since he
was not born into the world, but we refer to Him as the Holy Spirit.
 The Holy Spirit lives inside of us. He guides us through life. He confirms to us truth and lies… lies people
tell us, when someone tries to deceive or trick us, and when we try to deceive ourselves.
WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Salvation
 Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him (Jesus) from the dead and glorified Him; and so your
faith and hope are in God. Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth, by the Spirit, in
unfeigned brotherly love, love one another with a pure heart fervently. For you have been born again, not of
perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God
~1 Peter 1:21-23
 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing
happened unto you:
~1 Peter 4:12
 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads
to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
~Ephesians 5:17-18
WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Salvation WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PART OF GOD’S FAMILY?
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west and His
glory from the rising of the sun. For He will come like a raging
flood, driven by the breath of the LORD. ~Isaiah 59:19
Salvation
 And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
~2nd Corinthians 2:18
 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
~John 1:12
 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he
appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
1 John 3:2
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PART OF GOD’S FAMILY?
Salvation
 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup
overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of
the LORD forever Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we
know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
~Psalms 23:5-6
 to provide for those who grieve in Zion--to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for
mourning, and a garment of praise in place of a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of
righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
~Isaiah 61:3
 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand,
and shoes on his feet:
~Luke 15:22
 called
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PART OF GOD’S FAMILY?
Salvation RECAP!
And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and
daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” ~2nd Corinthians 2:18
 The cost of death is sin. I am not going to sugar coat it. Sin breads more sin. If
your arm is infected with disease you cut it off before it spreads to the rest of
the body.
 God didn’t want us to be cut off. He wants us to be forgiven so we can hear
his voice and turn from sin to him. The bible says it is his will that no man
should perish and that we would all have everlasting life.
 If the cost of sin is death and he doesn’t want us to die then something has
to. So he sent Jesus to die for us so we wouldn’t have to. Once we realize the
cost was paid for us, we can get closer to God.
 Unfortunately, Satan is trying to stop that from happening.
 Expect to be in situations where Satan tries to stop you, recognize you do
have power, the Holy Spirit is here to help you, and we are His children he will
never let the enemy win.
 In this process God will bless you in ways you could have never imagined. You
are truly going to see success and changes you never thought were possible
Salvation
Faith is the avenue to salvation. Not
intellectual understanding. Not money. Not
your works. Just simple faith. How much
faith? The faith of a mustard seed, so small
you can hardly see it. But if you will put that
little faith in the person of Jesus, your life will
be changed. He will come with supernatural
power into your heart. It can happen to you.
~ Billy Graham

  • 15. Salvation RECAP! And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” ~2nd Corinthians 2:18  The cost of death is sin. I am not going to sugar coat it. Sin breads more sin. If your arm is infected with disease you cut it off before it spreads to the rest of the body.  God didn’t want us to be cut off. He wants us to be forgiven so we can hear his voice and turn from sin to him. The bible says it is his will that no man should perish and that we would all have everlasting life.  If the cost of sin is death and he doesn’t want us to die then something has to. So he sent Jesus to die for us so we wouldn’t have to. Once we realize the cost was paid for us, we can get closer to God.  Unfortunately, Satan is trying to stop that from happening.  Expect to be in situations where Satan tries to stop you, recognize you do have power, the Holy Spirit is here to help you, and we are His children he will never let the enemy win.  In this process God will bless you in ways you could have never imagined. You are truly going to see success and changes you never thought were possible
  • 16. Salvation Faith is the avenue to salvation. Not intellectual understanding. Not money. Not your works. Just simple faith. How much faith? The faith of a mustard seed, so small you can hardly see it. But if you will put that little faith in the person of Jesus, your life will be changed. He will come with supernatural power into your heart. It can happen to you. ~ Billy Graham
