FULL SALVATION DEFINED

Micah J. Sturm

I believe that Jesus saves from all sin!

He doesn’t do a “halfway job” of salvation—however, many believers choose to live short of the possibilities His grace provides.

A clear definition of terms will help point us in the direction of “full salvation” and the journey of joy in Jesus!

Sin—disease of humanity’s heart caused by rebellion of first parents, centered on self, resulting in death

Sins—symptoms of humanity’s heart disease displayed as disobedience to God, ruled by senses—feelings, destructive 

Saved/Justification—sins forgiven by God through faith in Christ, preceded by confession and repentance (turning away from) sins, resulting in new life by the Spirit of Jesus.

Sanctified/ Entire Sanctification/ Holiness—a cleansing of the diseased heart and its tendency to rebel against God; the realignment of life’s center from self to God; the enabling power of Christ’s Spirit to daily live in complete love for God and humanity…preceded by entire consecration (emptying of selfishness and surrendering completely to Christ)…resulting in a deepening journey of grace.
