SALVATION

We believe that salvation is by the sovereign, electing grace of God; that by the appointment of the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a vicarious, expiratory, and propitiatory death; that justification is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and finally perfected in the image of the Lord; that in salvation the believer is adopted into the family of God and entitled to all the rights, privileges and promises of children including an eternal inheritance reserved in heaven for them.   Gen 3:15; Ps 22; Isa 53; Jn 3:16-21; Rom 3:21-26; Rom 5:6-8; Rom 8:28-30; 1 Cor 11:23-26; Eph 1:3-14; Eph 2:1-10; Col 2:13-15; 1 Peter 1:3-9; Rev 5:9-10
