Soteriology The Vocabulary Of Salvation. 3. His is a great picture of what salvation is like. H. The Tabernacle. 1. This illustrates that salvation restores lost fellowship (Ex. 25:22; Ps. 23:3). 2. One of Israel’s most tragic moments in the Old Testament was the worship of a devilish Egyptian golden calf god. (See Ex. 32.) Both idolatry and immorality were involved in that sordid affair. But the newly constructed tabernacle was able to once again assure Israel’s fellowship with God. 3. Jesus is our Tabernacle – our way to fellowship with God! VIII. The Vocabulary Of Salvation. A. There are sixteen key words in the vocabulary of salvation. These are: 1. Conversion 2. Substitution 3. Reconciliation 4. Propitiation 5. Remission 6. Redemption 7. Regeneration 8. Imputation 9. Adoption 10. Supplication 11. Justification 12. Sanctification 13. Glorification 14. Preservation 15. Origination 16. Salvation B. Conversion. 1. "The law of the Lord is perfect, the soul" (Ps. 19:7). 2. "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways and sinners shall be converted unto thee" (Ps. 51:13; see also Mt. 18:3; Acts 3:19; 15:3; Jas. 5:20). 3. The Greek word translated "conversion" has reference to a twofold turning on the part of an individual. One has to do with repentance (a turning from), and the other with faith (a turning to). It HAS to be in that order! a. (Greek, metanoia). 1) "The prominence given to the doctrine of repentance in the Scriptures can hardly be overestimated. John the Baptist began his public ministry, as did Jesus also, with the call to repentance upon his lips (Matt. 3:1,2; 4:17). When Jesus sent forth the twelve and the seventy messengers to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of heaven, He commanded them to preach repentance (Luke 24:47; Mark 6:12). Foremost in the preaching of the apostles was the doctrine of repentance: Peter (Acts 2:38); Paul (Acts 20:21). The burden of the heart of God, and His one command to all men everywhere, is that they should repent (2 Cork Bible Institute Page 10
Soteriology The Vocabulary Of Salvation. Peter 3:9; Acts 17:30). Indeed, failure on the part of man to heed God's call to repentance means that he shall utterly perish (Luke 13:3)." (The Great Doctrines of the Bible; William Evans; pp. 139,140) 2) What repentance is not: a) It is not , that act of turning over a new leaf. b) It is not only, that act of regretting the fruit of one's crime, but not the root. Here we have two biblical examples. (i) Esau: "He found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears" (Heb. 12:17; for the full background of this, read Gen. 27). (ii) Judas: "Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders" (Mt. 27:3). (iii) That this was only remorse and not true repentance is shown in verse 5 of Matthew 27 where we are told: "And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself." c) It is not , that act of attempting to make up for one's sins through good works. 3) What repentance is: a) It is a voluntary and sincere change in the of the sinner, causing him to turn from his sin out of of it. It should be noted here that we said sin and not sin(s), plural. True repentance involves the turning from one specific sin - the sin of previously rejection of Christ. Jesus spelled this out very clearly for us. b) "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more. Of judgment because the prince of this world is judged" (Jn. 16:7-11). c) God is not primarily interested in only convincing a sinner to give up smoking, swearing, drinking, and illicit sex, as bad as these may be, for this will never save him. God intends to convict us of even just one sin, to convince us that we are sinners, and are separate from God. The great sin that will eventually condemn a person forever is the rejection of Jesus Christ as the payment for even that one sin! Repentance therefore deals with a turning from this horrible crime of ignoring and rejecting Calvary’s cross. 4) In the ministry of : "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Mt. 3:2). "Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance" (Mt. 3:8). 5) In the ministry of : " . . for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mt. 9:13). "I tell you, nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Lk. 13:5). "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance" (Lk. 15:7). "And [he] said unto them ... that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem" (Lk. 24:47). 6) In the ministry of : "Then said Peter unto them, repent and be baptized" (Acts 2:38). "Repent ye therefore and be converted" (Acts 3:19). 7) In the ministry of : "But [I] showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent" (Acts 26:20). "And the times [prior to the cross] of their ignorance God winked at [overlooked]; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). b. . 1) What it is not. Cork Bible Institute Page 11
