The Greatness of Salvation

From a Sermon by C.E. Matthews

 

Hebrews 2:3 - How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the

first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that

heard him; 

Why is this salvation so great? It saves us from Hell, it equips us to resist the

Devil, and;

It guarantees us a mansion in Heaven. John 14:1 - Let not your heart be

troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 

John 14:2 - In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would

have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 

Heaven provides every longing of a pure soul, not for one day or one year,

but for all eternity.

Here in this life, we work, suffer, strive, doubt, fear, and weep; but this So

Great Salvation settles all of life’s problems and perplexities forevermore

when we get to Heaven. Revelation 22:3 - And there shall be no more curse:

You may ask, “How do I accept this gift of so great salvation?

  1. Realize you are a sinner - Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and

come short of the glory of God; 

  1. Understand the penalty for sin - Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is

death;

  1. Realize Jesus paid the penalty - Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth

(or showed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us.

  1. Ask Jesus to save you - Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon

the name of the Lord shall be saved.
