Salvation: More Than Getting Into Heaven (Kevin Slemp)

We as Christians always refer to salvation as our ticket to Heaven. But, according to our guest Pastor Kevin Slemp of Berea Baptist Church, salvation means far more than a get-out-of-hell-free card. Today on the podcast, we talk about what it truly means to receive salvation and blessings that come with it. There is so much depth to what God promises for those who love Him and Pastor Kevin helps highlight some of those implications.

Scripture

 

Eph 2: 8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

 

Rom 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

 

Acts 16 30-33 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.
