- 0:06Titus 2 verse 11 says For the grace of God that bringeth
- 0:10salvation hath appeared to all men.
- 0:12John Stott writes Salvation is a wonderful, wide-ranging word,
- 0:16and it would be a great mistake to think it only refers to the
- 0:19forgiveness of our sins. God is as much concerned with
- 0:23our present and future as with our past.
- 0:25His plan is first to put right our relationship with Him and
- 0:29then progressively to set us free from our self centeredness
- 0:32and bring us into harmony with other people.
- 0:35We owe our forgiveness and reconciliation chiefly to the
- 0:38death of Christ, but it is by His Spirit that a believer can
- 0:42be set free from himself and in His church that we can be united
- 0:47in a fellowship of love. These are the aspects of
- 0:50Christ's salvation that we'll consider in more detail this
- 0:54week.
