Soteriology

The doctrine of salvation, including grace, repentance, faith, justification, sanctification, and glorification.

Repentance is a Godward turning of mind, heart, and life away from sin and toward obedience.

Regeneration is the new birth by which God gives spiritual life to those dead in sin.

In Christ, believers are brought into God’s household as beloved sons and daughters.

Grace is God’s unearned favor and powerful action toward sinners.

Faith is trusting reliance on God and His promises, centered in Jesus Christ.

Justification is God’s declaration that the believer is righteous in Christ.

Sanctification is the Spirit-empowered process by which believers are made holy in life and character.
