THE GOSPEL · LESSON 02

IS SALVATION POSSIBLE?

THE BIBLICAL ANSWER

Yes. Salvation is possible because God has provided the only way of salvation through Jesus Christ.

PRIMARY PASSAGE
CLEAR BIBLICAL ANSWER

Salvation is possible, but not because man can save himself. Salvation is possible because God is merciful, Christ died for sinners, and the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.

THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL
MAN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF

The Bible teaches that all have sinned. No person can remove his own sin by good works, religion, church attendance, baptism, or personal effort.

THE PROBLEM OF SIN

If salvation depended on man’s goodness, no one could be saved. But salvation does not depend on man’s ability. It depends on God’s grace.

GOD MADE SALVATION POSSIBLE

God did not leave sinners without hope. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and rise again. Because of Christ, forgiveness and eternal life are possible.

GOD’S GIFT OF HIS SON
SALVATION IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Salvation is not found in many ways. It is found in Jesus Christ alone. He is the Savior God provided for sinners.

CHRIST ALONE
WHO CAN BE SAVED?

The Bible gives real hope. Salvation is offered to sinners who repent and believe the gospel. The invitation is not only for the religious, the educated, or the strong. It is for sinners who come to Christ by faith.

The guilty can be forgiven. Christ died for sinners.
The lost can be saved. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost.
The helpless can have hope. What is impossible with men is possible with God.
HOW IS SALVATION RECEIVED?

Salvation is received by faith in Jesus Christ. A person must turn to God and trust Christ alone, not his own works or goodness.

THE CALL OF THE GOSPEL
SIMPLE FINAL ANSWER

Yes, salvation is possible. It is impossible for man to save himself, but God made salvation possible through Jesus Christ. Any sinner who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ can be saved.
