What Makes Me A CHRISTIAN? Understanding Salvation And Sanctification

Quick Review A Christian is a new creation made alive by the mercy of God through Jesus Christ Review of the Gospel: “Two Ways To Live”

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth… (Genesis 1:1)

Where It All Began Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. (Ephesians 1:3-4) Salvation begins with God’s choice

Why It Matters Because God never changes, He won’t change his mind about me Because God knew me completely, He won’t be disappointed with me Because I didn’t earn my salvation, I can never lose it!

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) There were visions in your mind There was death in the fall of mankind There was life in salvation’s design

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) Before there were days There were nights I could not see your face But the night couldn’t keep me from grace When you came and you took my place

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) So I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God, Ancient of Days” I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God” And sing the praises Of the One who saved me And the promises He made

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) You counted the hairs on my head You knew all the words that I said You purchased me back from the dead

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) Before I was made You searched me and knew my ways You numbered all of my days And set forth the steps that I’d take

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) So I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God, Ancient of Days” I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God” And sing the praises Of the One who saved me And the promises He made

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) You saved me You raised me You pulled me from the grave!

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) So I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God, Ancient of Days” I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God” And sing the praises

“Before There Was Time” (Caedmon’s Call) I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God, Ancient of Days” I cry, “Holy, only begotten Son of God” And sing the praises of the One who saved me And the promises He made Before there was time
