Your Faith Saves You 

(Lk7:44-50, 17:11-19) 



God is the God of salvation. 

Salvation comes from Him (Ps62:1-2; He5:9), and He 

Finally saves those who make Him their salvation and consider salvation as the most important thing (He2:3, 9:28). 



Faith is knowing the necessity and the priority of salvation, and 

The life of this faith is growing until one's salvation is achieved. 



While salvation is not so important in times of peace and safety, 

When disaster hits there is nothing more important than salvation (1Pe2:2, Php2:12). 



Though the devil causes men to be 

Uninterested about salvation, and focus on the salvation from material reality, 

The Bible indicates that salvation is from hell because 

The sin committed by Adam is the sin of the living being, and 

The price of sin, death (Ge2:17), is 

Hell in the age to come (Mk9:48-49), Hades (Is14:12-15), 

The eternal fire (Mt25:41), and the lake of fire (1Pe3:7-13; Rev20:14-15), where 

The Spirit of God (Ge1:2), the everlasting chains contain the angels who sinned (2Pe2:4; Jude1:6). 



The exodus of Israel was a shadow of God's salvation of men (He10:1) 

When the Passover lamb died in place of every firstborn (Ex12:7, 12-13). 

Furthermore, they were saved from the Red Sea so they gave praise to God (Ex15:2), and 

In the desert they found God's salvation daily through manna (Ps68:19-20). 



The sanctuary where the name of the Lord God Jehovah was 

Reminded them that salvation came from God (Is14:5-6), and that 

Salvation was also to come from Zion (Ps14:7, 28:8). 



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn2:19), because 

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body, 

He would save the souls of all men from their sins for 

His name Yeshua means salvation (Mt1:21) and 

He came to seek and save the lost (Lk19:10). 



When He died, the thief and the people mocked Him and told Him to save Himself (Mt27:42-43), 

But Jesus said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He: 

Laid down His life and acknowledged that the Father alone is the Savior (Jn10:18; He5:7); 

Condemned the devil who deceived men and made them slaves to sin, the children of hell (1Jn3:8); and 

Redeemed the sins of men and paid the price of their sin, opening a way to salvation (He10:20). 



The Father saved Him from death, and took Him up to heaven and 

Jesus became the source of eternal salvation (He5:9). 



The Holy Spirit came to 

Those who received His name and are saved (Ac4:12, 16:30-31), and 

Lets them know how great this salvation is and grow in their faith. 



The Christian is he who 

Puts every effort to grow in his salvation, the result of his faith (2Th1:3; 1Pe1:9, 2:2). 

Therefore, he lives by the word for his deeds of faith (Jas2:14-24), 

Gathers into the church (He10:24-25), 

Daily seeks salvation through prayer (Ps68:19-20), and 

Saves others by snatching them from the fire (Jude1:23), for 

He longs to escape the burning universe and 

Receive such a great salvation in the end (He9:28; 2Pe3:7-18). 



O Lord, 

Let us see less of the world and more of this great salvation! 

Give us the faith that will ultimately save our souls! 

Amen.
