Salvation is an event. Ephesians 2:8 says, "For it is by grace that you have been saved."
At the same time, salvation is a process. Philippians 2:12 says, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling."
Salvation is one of those words that we don't always know what to do with these days. Sometimes we are tempted to "hiss" it from street corners. Other times we want to clutch it as our own private experience. There might even be moments when we would prefer to ditch the word altogether for something a little more contemporary.
At First Baptist Church, we echo the confession of the Church through the ages in proclaiming that salvation is found in Christ. Through his redemptive birth, life, death and resurrection, Christ has become our salvation.
He is salvation from sin -- both individual and corporate. Salvation from our failures. Salvation from hell. Salvation from ourselves. Salvation from this corruptible world. Salvation from all the tiny kingdoms that we value more than the one, lasting Kingdom.
Ultimately, we believe in a salvation that comes as the gift of God. While it may be hinted at with words, it is best evidenced by the emodied faith of a tranformed people.
If this sparks any thoughts or questions, we would love to invite you into conversation. Contact us fbceaglelake@sbcglobal.net or (979)-234-2571.
