Our Great Salvation

July 28, 2021

People naturally talk about what interests them. In many cases, it’s a significant event—perhaps a war, a birth, a tragedy—that changed them, and so they want to share their story with others so they can be prepared for, or avoid, a similar event in their lives.

As a believer, the greatest event in our lives is the moment we receive Christ as our Savior. Why is it, then, we often have difficulty sharing that special story? For some people, it’s because they don’t fully understand what happened at the cross. How could you share a story if you don’t actually know what happened? In this sermon, Dr. Stanley shares four reasons why our salvation stories need to be shared:

1. Salvation is the only answer to man’s sinful, helpless, hopeless situation.

2. Salvation originated in the heart of a holy God.

3. Salvation was motivated by one thing—not our love for God—but His love for us.

4. Salvation changes our nature.

If you have trusted Christ as your savior, the Bible says you are forgiven, redeemed, justified, sanctified, reconciled, and glorified. God applied the redemption of His Son to your life—and that’s something worth talking about!

Learn more about how the events at Calvary have the power to change your life in this insightful message.

In this message, Dr. Stanley lists some of our common yet ineffective responses to the very human feeling of frustration. He then shares some more beneficial reactions using examples from the life of Paul. The apostle found himself imprisoned by circumstances beyond his control more than once. Yet this didn't diminish the sense of freedom in his spirit.

Christians are spared God’s judgment, but we have a duty to warn others. In this message, Dr. Stanley reminds us of the truth in Scripture: God is not only a God of love, but also of perfect justice. And because of His justice, He cannot forget His wrath against sin. Keeping this in mind will inspire us to share Christ with those who don't know Him and pray for genuine revival in our world.

The divine authority of all of Revelation is affirmed. John now speaks as a prophet in Jesus’ name. In “Three Finalities of Revelation,” Dr. Stanley describes how John reinforces Christ’s final promise of His imminent return and the rewards He will bring with Him. Then John repeats Christ’s final invitation for everyone to join Him, including every lost person. Finally Jesus warns specifically against tampering with the Word of God. Heed the words of this wonderful and powerful prophecy! In this message, Dr. Stanley covers Revelation 22:6-20.

Clouds, harps, feathery angels—according to pop culture, that’s what you'll find in heaven. But what picture does God’s Word paint for us? In this message, Dr. Stanley clarifies who will be in heaven, what kind of relationships we will have there, and just what we will be doing for all eternity. While we may not know everything this side of glory, the Bible does reveal just enough to whet our appetite for more.

Most Christians expect to go to heaven when they die, and yet many know very little about the place Christ is preparing for us. In this message, Dr. Stanley explores the reasons why we should be excited about heaven, according to the Bible. It’s our home, and as children of an eternal Father, we have so much to look forward to.

God loved the people of the world enough to sacrifice His Son Jesus. He gave Him up to a hideous death on a cross in order to save all those who would believe from an eternity apart from Him. Jesus’ death was the ultimate, all-sufficient gift for an unworthy people from a perfect God. There is no greater love than this. It is up to us to embrace it.

In “Satan’s Last Fling,” Dr. Stanley shares with us John’s vision of Jesus giving authority to His angel to bind and imprison Satan in the bottomless pit for a thousand years. During this millennium, Christians will reign on earth with Jesus with unopposed authority. However, sin nature will be passed on to each generation born in the millennium and many will reject Christ. When Satan is released, he will gather up and lead these unbelievers to do final battle at Jerusalem. All will be totally exterminated and Satan will join the beast and false prophet in the lake of fire and brimstone forever. In this message, Dr. Stanley covers Revelation 20:1-10.
