Doctrine: Salvation

I spoke this morning at Trinity on Salvation, looking at what it means to be justified by faith.  We’re working through our statement of faith which says:

Salvation is entirely a work of God’s grace and cannot be earned or deserved. It has been accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ and is offered to all in the gospel. God in his love forgives sinners whom he calls, granting them repentance and faith. All who believe in Christ are justified by faith alone, adopted into the family of God and receive eternal life.

I picked Romans 1:17 as the text, with 1:16 as the context:

Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed [Paul says] of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

It went well (at least I thought it did) and here’s the talk.  I’ve used Slideshare to create a ‘slidecast’ so here’s the talk and the presentation as well.
