Question 1 of 14
1. Question
First of all, we are saved from the eternal damnation of hell. The Bible is sparse in its description of the afterlife – a place of torment and fire.
The Scripture: Luke 16:19-23
“There was a rich man who lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat that which fell from the rich man’s table. The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.”

Question 4 of 14
4. Question
Why do we need to be saved in the first place? Jesus’ name reflects the answer to this question.
Before Jesus was born, an angel appeared to Joseph and gave him this explanation:
The Scripture: Matthew 1:21, 25
“What is conceived in [Mary] is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you are to call him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins….And [Joseph] gave him the name Jesus.”

Question 5 of 14
5. Question
Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, which means, “The Lord saves.” This is interesting information, but why do we need to be saved from our sins?
Let’s go back to the beginning. Ever since Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, God and His arch-enemy Satan have waged a war for people’s souls. When the first couple sinned, they “sold” themselves and the earth to atan. In a very real sense, it was as though they passed on a defective gene to all their offspring. Man was forever tainted with sin.
Many people think they have never sinned. When you ask them about themselves, they will tell you, “I’m a good person.” They believe they’ve never done anything really bad, so they don’t need to be saved. Scripture strongly contradicts them.
The Scripture: Romans 3:23
“All have sinned.”

Why does this matter so much? Again we go to scripture for the answer.

Question 7 of 14
7. Question
This is a poetic way of telling us that death is the destiny of all of us unless we are somehow saved. In this context the Bible is speaking of spiritual death. Because it is so important that we understand what being saved–salvation–is, scripture writers used several different terms to describe it.
One term frequently used in Scripture as a synonym for salvation is redeemed or redemption. Redemption is deliverance from some evil by payment of a price. It is a term that is fairly common in our colloquial language. If you have ever pawned something and then paid to get it back, you have redeemed it.
Because of Adam and Eve’s sin, it became necessary for someone to redeem us. Scripture tells us:
The Scripture: Ephesians. 1:7
“In him (Jesus) we have redemption through his blood.”
9. How are we redeemed?

Question 8 of 14
8. Question
We could not be redeemed through keeping God’s law, because no one is capable of fully or perfectly obeying the law.
The Scripture: Hebrews 9:22
“The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”
10. How do we obtain forgiveness (redemption)?

Question 9 of 14
9. Question
But because we have all sinned, the shedding of our blood at best could only pay for our own sins. God had another solution.
The Scripture: Galatians 4:5
“God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under law.”
11. What was God’s solution?

Question 11 of 14
11. Question
Because Jesus lived a sinless life, He could redeem us. Many older translations of the Bible use the term remission as a synonym for salvation. However, the newer editions use the synonym, forgiveness of sins as another way to describe salvation.
In announcing the coming of Jesus, John the Baptist urged his listeners to be baptized.
The Scripture: Mark 1:4
“And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.”

Question 14 of 14
14. Question
Fortunately, for most of us salvation was not to be just for the Jews but for the Gentiles as well. Many of us know the story of Cornelius, a devout, God-fearing centurion, who after having a vision sent for Peter. At the same time Peter also had a vision. His was about eating “unclean” food, food the Jews were not allowed to eat. Peter traveled to Cornelius’ house and after hearing Cornelius’ story realized that God accepted all people who feared him and did what was right – both Jew and Gentile – those from every nation.
When Peter told Cornelius and those with him what Jesus had done, the gift of the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message and they spoke in tongues and praised God. After seeing this happen, Peter ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
The apostles, hearing that Peter had preached the word of God to the Gentiles were highly critical of him. But after Peter shared his vision and what had happened at Cornelius’ house, they had a change of heart.
The Scripture: Acts 11:18
“When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, ‘So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life’.”
18. What did they say?
Many of the older translations of the Bible used the term remission. However, the newer translations use the term forgiveness.
In the next section of this study, we look at another synonym for salvation, and we will learn how to be saved and how to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
