Table Leaders - Allen & Cynthia Siebel
It was clear back in Genesis 3 that we learn of the fall, and man’s subsequent eternal removal from God’s holy presence. Through this one man, Adam, death came upon us all.
Then in week 2, we discovered that God through his incredible grace provided a Savior to redeem us from death, and opened the door to once again enter into fellowship with him.
Now in week 3, Pastor Steve Eriksson shared his message entitled The Assurance of Salvation. How can we know that we will spend eternity in heaven with God?
Here are a few of the key points that Steve touched upon in this class:
- Once saved, many struggle to have complete confidence because of sin, “religion”, or a lack of understanding.
- Because of our imputed separateness from God, we need a Savior to save us from God’s wrath.
- We are saved by grace, through our faith, not of our own doing, but a gift from God, and not a result of works.
- The result of this gift (Salvation) is eternal life, abundant life, the Holy Spirit, and no more condemnation for our sins!
Our homework, for this week, is to memorize Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
Next week, God willing, we will be learning about prayer, and understanding God’s will.
