Message 7: God’s Complete Salvation Having Two Aspects—
The Judicial Aspect and the Organic Aspect
III. The judicial aspect of God’s salvation
B. The procedure of God’s salvation
C. For sinners to be:
1. Forgiven before God—Eph. 1:7
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace.
2. Cleansed of sins—1 John 1:7
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin.
3. Justified—Rom. 3:24–25
Romans 3:24–25 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 Whom God set forth as a propitiation place through faith in His blood, for the demonstrating of His righteousness, in that in His forbearance God passed over the sins that had previously occurred.
4. Reconciled to God—Rom. 5:10a
Romans 5:10a For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son….
5. Sanctified unto God positionally—1 Cor. 1:2; Heb. 13:12
1 Cor. 1:2 To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, the called saints, with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, who is theirs and ours.
Hebrews 13:12 Therefore also Jesus, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
D. These five items qualify and position man to enter into the grace of God (Rom. 5:1–2) and enjoy God’s salvation in its organic aspect
