Salvation and Redemption Is Yours
A journey through timeless promises written across the heavens.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Psalm 19:1
The Gospel in one verse
FOR GOD
so loved
THE WORLD
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
John 3:16–17
A clear message of hope through Jesus Christ
What it means to be saved
1
Imagine a swimmer in deep water who cannot rescue herself. She cries to a lifeguard, who reaches her in her helpless condition and brings her safely to shore.
Or imagine someone trapped in a burning building, overcome by smoke, calling for help. A firefighter comes, carries him out and saves him from perishing.
In the same way, God has provided a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is able to rescue every sinner who trusts in Him. No matter what you have done, He can save you.
“ God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
2 Why we need to be saved
Because of our rebellion against God, we are in danger of eternal separation from Him and must face the consequences of sin.
- All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
- The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
- It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9:27
- Those not found written in the Book of Life face judgment. Revelation 20:15
The Savior and your response
What the Savior has done
3
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners by coming down from Heaven and dying on the cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and He is now a living Savior at God's right hand in Heaven.
- While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
- Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
- Christ suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. 1 Peter 3:18
4 How you can be saved
The only way to be saved from sin and its punishment is to turn to God in repentance and place your faith in Jesus Christ. Repentance recognizes our serious need before God. Faith rests in the Lord Jesus as Savior, believing that He fully paid the price for forgiveness and cleansing.
Turn to Christ today — He is able to save!
What Scripture says
Receive Christ. Believe His name. Come to the Father through Him.
John 1:12–13
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Receive • Believe • BecomeJohn 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
The Way • The Truth • The LifeRomans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Why We Need a Savior
The Gospel begins with both truth and hope.
We have all sinned, yet God invites us to receive His Son and become His children through faith.
God acted while we were sinners
Christ paid the price. Eternal life is God's gift.
Romans 5:8
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Love Demonstrated at the CrossRomans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The Wages of Sin • The Gift of God
Notice the contrast:
sin earns a wage, but eternal life is described as a gift. Salvation is received through Jesus Christ.

A prayer of repentance and faith
Sinner's Prayer
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and place my trust in You as my Lord and Saviour. Forgive me, cleanse me, and lead my life from this day forward. Thank You for Your grace, Your mercy, and the free gift of salvation. Amen.
The words of a prayer do not save by themselves. Salvation is through sincere repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
If you chose “Show me more”
Salvation is God's work and God's gift, received through faith.
Ephesians 2:8–9
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Grace • Faith • Not WorksRomans 10:9–10
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Believe • Confess • Salvation
Grace
God gives what we cannot earn.
Faith
We rest our trust in Jesus Christ.
Response
Faith is personal: believe in the heart and confess Christ.

Words of Jesus
“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
John 8:12
Reflection
Christ does not merely point toward the light—He declares Himself to be the Light. Following Him means allowing truth, grace and direction to reach even the places we would rather keep hidden.
A promise for the fearful heart
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:10

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Psalm 23:4
The valley is part of the journey. It is not the end of the story.
