Faith and Salvation

The document discusses key concepts of faith and salvation in Christianity. It provides three main points: 1) Faith is defined as confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we cannot see, as described in Hebrews 11:1-3. Christians believe the universe was created by God's command through faith. 2) Salvation means being rescued by God from the consequences of wrongdoing. Christians believe Jesus' death offers salvation to all. 3) The Christian equation is that salvation is a gift from God received through faith, not works. Good works are evidence of receiving God's gift of salvation but not the means of salvation.

that what is seen was not made
out of what was visible.
-Hebrews 11:1 – 3
“For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of
God…” Ephesians 2:8

The Christian equation:


Salvation + Faith = Works
Good works must appear on the right side of the
Christian equation. They are not the means by
which we are saved, but simply the evidence we
have gratefully received God’s free gift of
salvation.
