“A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be
a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and
yet would remain silent.”—John Calvin

I.     Salvation is for All People (2:11; Tit. 3:5;
1 Cor. 6:9-11)

II.     Salvation is for the Present Age (2:11-12;
Rom. 8:29; Eph. 5:25-27; Heb. 12:10-11)

    •     We do not understand the message of the
Bible.

    •     We do not understand the seriousness of
sin.

    •     We do not understand the nature of
salvation.

III.     Salvation is Entirely the Work of Our Great
God and Savior Jesus Christ (2:14; Phil. 1:6; 1
Thess. 5:23-24; John 17:17; WSC #35; Eph. 1:3; 1 Cor.
1:30; Gal. 2:19-20; Rom. 6:11; 1 Tim. 3:16; Col.
1:27)

The “Double Cure” of the Gospel: Jesus saves us from
both

the___________________ and the ___________________of
sin.

“…your way to a holy practice, is, first to conquer
and expel… unbelieving thoughts, by trusting on
Christ, and persuading yourselves by faith, that his
righteousness, Spirit, glory, and all his spiritual
benefits, are yours; and that he dwelleth in you and
you in him.”   —Walter Marshall
