"The role of Christ as our Savior".

Through an exploration of the concept of "soteria," we learn that salvation is entirely the work of the Savior, with no contribution from those being saved. The sermon highlights the sacrificial love of Jesus, who, being in the form of God, humbled Himself by becoming man and dying on the cross for our sins, as described in Philippians 2:6-8. This act of grace provides us with the gift of eternal life and the forgiveness of sins, available to all who believe and confess this truth.

We explore the implications of this forgiveness, highlighting that it is a permanent and complete act of God's kindness. As believers, we are called to live in the Spirit, reflecting the love and forgiveness we have received from Christ in our relationships with others. Ephesians 5:1-2 encourages us to be imitators of God, loving one another as Christ loved us, sacrificially and without conditions. This sermon challenges us to let go of offenses quickly and forgive as we have been forgiven, demonstrating the transformative power of God's love in our lives.
