RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL MANUAL
LESSON FOUR
SUNDAY, 24TH SEPTEMBER 2017
TOPIC: SALVATION EXPERIENCE
MEMORY VERSE:
’For the grace of God bringeth salvation hath
appeared to all men.” – Titus 2:11
BIBLE PASSAGE: John 3:3-8
INTRODUCTION:
The Hebrew and Greek words translated
‘Salvation’ are ‘yashuwah’ and ‘soteria’
respectively. This word is used for the
deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians
(Exodus 14:13), and for deliverance generally
from evil or danger. In the New Testament, it is
specially used with reference to the great
deliverance from the guilt and the pollution of
sin wrought out by Jesus Christ, “the great
salvation” (Hebrews 2:3).
LESSON OUTLINES
1. Description of salvation
2. Instant and ultimate salvation
DESCRIPTION OF SALVATION
Simply put, it is to be born again, which in turn
means going back to our origin. It is to have
everything changed with an incorruptible seed
planted in us (1Peter 1:23). It is that which
changes the son of man to a son of God (John
1:11-12; Romans 8:15), thus becoming the
partaker of the divine nature (2Peter 1:3-4). This
implies that we are expected to experience:
divine health because the same blood flowing in
the vine flows also in the branches, divine vitality
since Jesus is alive, we shall live too (John
14:19; John 10:10), the same power for the
same works and even greater ones too (John
14:12).
It also means becoming a new creature which
automatically follows that all things must
become new (2Corinthians 5:17). All sins are
gone (1John 1:7). Yokes are destroyed and now
replaced with a peculiar nature (1Peter 2:9).
Such are now members of God’s family (1John
3:9), that will not sin but with a new culture of
love, unity, prayer, joy, faith, power and
greatness (John 13:35; Ephesians 2:.
INSTANT AND ULTIMATE SALVATION
After hearing the salvation message (Romans
10:17), the individual becomes saved through
the conviction of the Holy Spirit. He confesses
his sins, ask for mercy/forgiveness and accepts
Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord (Romans
10:10; Acts 4:12; 16:31). This is absolutely the
work of grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). This is the
instant salvation. However, it is only those who
endure to the end that will be saved (Matthew
10:22, 2Peter 1:10-11). This is the ultimate
salvation. In between the instant and the
ultimate salvation, there is a race to run and
battles to fight: storms, mockery, false
accusation, temptations, persecution, trials of
faith, etc (1Corinthains 9:24-27; Hebrews 12:1-4;
2Timothy 2:3-5; John 16:33).
Therefore, there is the need to constantly work
out our salvation with fear and trembling
(Philippians 2:12). We must put on the whole
armour of God to be able to stand to the end
(Ephesians 6:12-18). As much as the instant
salvation is grace, the ultimate involves some
work. Those seeking for ultimate salvation must,
therefore, be watchful (1Peter 5:, prayerful
(Matthew 26:41), patient (Hebrews 12:1) and run
lawfully (2Timothy 2:5), confessing victory all
the way.
CONCLUSION:
Today’s lesson must have unveiled some
foundational truths about salvation to us. It is
only wise to give allowance to the Holy Spirit to
help relay this aspect of spiritual foundation to
glory. Why not pray and decide for Jesus Christ
today.
