The Promise Of Salvation
John 3:16-17
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have
everlasting life.

into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world
through Him might be saved.
I. GOD’S PROMISE TO SAVE
A. It is an OLD Promise

All who dwell on the earth will
worship him, whose names have
not been written in the Book of
Life of the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world.

before the foundation of the
world, but was manifest in these
last times for you

besides Me there is no savior.
B. It Is an ONGOING Promise

who hears My word and believes
in Him who sent Me has
everlasting life,
and shall not come into
judgment, but has passed from
death into life.

“Come!” and let him who thirsts

need of a physician, but those who
are sick. I did not come to call
the righteous, but sinners,
to repentance.”

for all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God,

For you do not know what a day

that appears for a little time and
then vanishes away.

hardens his neck, will suddenly
be destroyed, and that without
remedy.

sake; and I will not remember
your sins.”
1 John 3:1-2
Behold what manner of love the
Father has bestowed on us, that we
should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know
us, because it did not know Him.
2 Beloved, now we are children
of God; and it has not yet been
revealed what we shall be, but
we know that when He is
revealed, we shall be like Him,
for we shall see Him as He is.

Conserve the Saint.

For God so loved the world that

send His son into the world to
condemn the world, but that the
world through Him might be saved.

comes to Me I will by no means
cast out.

everlasting life.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded that neither
death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities nor powers, nor
things present nor things to
come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any
other created thing, shall be
able to separate us from the love
of God which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
III. GOD’S PROVISION TO
SAVE
A. He Provided a PRECIOUS
Substitute
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have
everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His son
into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world
through Him might be saved.
Romans 5:6-8
For when we were still without
strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous
man will one die;
yet perhaps for a good man
someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His
own love toward us, in that
while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
B. He Provided a PERFECT
Sacrifice
Hebrews 9:24-28
For Christ has not entered the
holy places made with hands,
which are copies of the true,
But into heaven itself, now to
appear in the presence of God for
us; 25 not that He should offer
Himself often, as the high priest
enters the Most Holy Place every
year with blood of another--
26 He would then have had to
suffer often since the foundation
of the world; but now, once at the
end of the ages, He has appeared
to put away sin by the sacrifice of
Himself.
27 and as it is appointed for men to
die once, but after this the
judgment, 28 so Christ was offered
once to bear the sins of many. To
those who eagerly wait for Him He
will appear a second time, apart
from sin, for salvation.
C. He Provided a PLAN of
Salvation
John 3:16-17
Romans: 10:9-10
Acts 16:31
Romans: 10:9-10
that if you confess with your
mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God
has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one
believes unto righteousness, and
with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation.
Acts 16:31
So they said, “Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and you will
be saved, you and your
household.”
