Brief Recap: We want to understand the foundational truths about scripture - so that we can know it AND talk about it! This week we’re looking at Salvation: want to be people that understand the free gift that was given to us and are equipped to lead others to Jesus.

4 Truths We Believe about Salvation

1. Sin separates us from God.
2. Jesus is the Only Way to Salvation to the Father.
3. Salvation washes away our sin by the Blood of Jesus.
4. Salvation is the New Birth.

ABC’s of Salvation:
Acknowledge your sin and need for salvation 
Believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for my sins
Confess your sins and turn away from them

Discussion
You don’t need to hit every question—follow the room.

1. What stood out to you from this week’s message? (this question is to help your group navigate what the Lord highlighted to them).
2. Are you able to go back and remember the moment of your salvation? If you don’t know if you’ve had that moment yet, tell your group!
3. When you look at the 4 Truths, which one impacted you the most?
4. What old things am I holding onto that I need to let go of?

Prayer Time
