Soteriology - The Threefold Provision of Salvation.


God has dealt with mankind under different dispensations [:systems, orders, arrangements, organizations] for example, Pre- Law, Law, the Post-Law] He saves men always by this Threefold Method:


A.   His Salvation is always by Blood.

.Heb 9:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
The Characteristics of this blood must always be: that it is innocent, shed and applied.



Heb 9:13  For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have contracted defilement make them holy so as to bring about ceremonial purity,
Heb 9:14  how much more certainly shall the blood of Christ, who strengthened by the eternal Spirit offered Himself to God, free from blemish, purify your consciences from lifeless works for you to serve the ever-living God?



B. Salvation is always through a Person
Jonah 2:9  But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
Act 4:12  And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven,[But the Name of YESHUAH] that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.



1Th 5:9  For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Heb 11:6  And without faith it is impossible to be well–pleasing unto him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.


C. Salvation is always by Grace through Faith.
Eph 2:8  for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9  not of works, that no man should glory.


Tit 2:11  For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
Tit 2:12  instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;
Tit 2:13  looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
1. This Grace is always preceded by the sinner’s faith.
Romans 5:1  Being therefore justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Rom 5:2  through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and let us rejoice in hope of the glory of God.


2. This Grace is followed by the Saviour’s Peace.
Rom 1:7  To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


1Co 1:3  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


Gal 1:3  Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

Gal 1:4  who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:
