What does it mean to be saved?
Acts 15
Questions to consider:
What is the purpose, the goal, or the objective of Christianity?
Why be a Christian?
What did Jesus' crucifixion accomplish?
What does it mean to get saved?
What does it mean to believe?
What is the good news?
This week’s closing hymn, Creator God, Our Sovereign Lord, was particularly relevant to the sermon:
Creator God, our Sovereign Lord,
The heavens tell, the stars have shown,
Your splendor, might, and Deity,
But Truth lies in your Word alone.
My heart to you, O God, I give,
And by your Word I live.
In Truth your Word reveals my guilt,
My lost, unworthy self makes known,
But now made new I’m justified
And live and move by Faith alone.
My heart to you, O God, I give,
And now by Faith I live.
Before you made the world you chose,
In love, to send your only Son
To ransom me and make me one
With Christ, my Lord, by Grace alone.
My heart to you, O God, I give,
And now by Grace I live.
O Christ, Redeemer, Savior, King,
Subdued by grace, I am your own;
Enthrall my soul and make me free,
Reformed, redeemed by Christ alone.
My heart to you, O God, I give,
And now in Christ I live.
O glorious God, who reigns on high,
With heart in hand, before your throne,
We hymn your glory ‘round the world
With psalms adoring you alone.
My heart to you, O God, I give
And for your glory live.
