Our confession is confirmation of his work
Our obedience is a sign that we are born again
What is the nature of salvation? what is the nature of sin?
Some questions: suicide, babies, animals, predestination
Homework
Present what you believe about the gospel to someone this week. Did you feel comfortable explaining it? Do you still have any questions about who is saved, how they are saved, and what it means to be saved?
Let's let you ask questions now.
Is a person saved that didn’t make a clear confession of faith before they died?
Is a person saved that made a confession once, but never lived it out for years afterwards?
Prayer and worship to finish.
