Conclusion: the Basis of Salvation

Author's Bias | Interpretation: conservative


With an understanding of atonement, the meaning of John 3:16 takes on special significance.

His Creation!

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

God gave His Son to do all of the work that provides the means for a sinner to reconcile himself to God.

Imagine giving your only son to die for the sins of an antagonistic stranger so that this stranger can enter your home, be adopted as your son and be a representative of you!!

While Jesus' work is atonement, the work of God is that you believe in Him whom He has sent. (John 6:29)

And while Believers see eternal life as a personal benefit, Jesus defines what eternal life is.

"This is eternal life, that they [Believers] may know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." (John 17:3)

These three verses form the basis that will help you understand the divine actions that lead you to initial salvation: election, draw, call and predestine.
