HOW were we SAVED from sin?

 

Hebrews 1:3 

King James Version

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, 

and the express image of his person, 

and upholding all things by the word of his power, 

when he had by himself purged our sins, 

sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:


That's how we got saved from sin -- through the cross.

Jesus died for our sins.

Ephesians 1:7 (KJV)

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

according to the riches of his grace;


And in that cross, Jesus defeated the devil -- the one who tempted Eve, caused her and Adam to be driven from the presence of God, and to suffer death.

Hebrews 2:14 (KJV)

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;


That's how much God loved us.

He sent His only beloved Son, Jesus.

1 John 4:10 (KJV)

10 Herein is love, 

not that we loved God, 

but that he loved us, 

and sent his Son 

to be the propitiation for our sins.


His love encompassing the whole world.

Psalm 103:12 (KJV)

12 As far as the east is from the west, 

so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.


We have been redeemed from our iniquity.

Titus 2:14 (KJV)

14 Who gave himself for us,

 that he might redeem us from all iniquity, 

and purify unto himself a peculiar people, 

zealous of good works.


And in that very sacrifice, was the gospel of Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (KJV)

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:


Still, man continues to sin.

What are the consequences?

The next post will tell you more.
