Matthew 7:7-8

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Never allow yourself to doubt about it, God will always do what He said He would do. When you ask Him for guidance or revelation, He is bound by His own word to provide it for you.

Remember, His word never fails, it is the same always. He never lies.

If you find that you don't understand something as you study the bible, don't get discouraged, and certainly don't give up.

If you are going through this with a study partner, don't be affraid of asking about it. You will discover that those which seem to be the silly questions are often the most important ones.

If you are studying on your own, write down the thing that you don't understand and ask your pastor what it means.

If you don't have a Pastor, feel free to contact us at DB Ministries.

What is Salvation?

Therefore, rid yourself of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like new born babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good

1 Peter 2:1-3

It is easy to talk about being saved, but do you think that you know what this means?

One of the main points of a Christian’s faith is our salvation. But when we decide to ask Jesus Christ into our lives, to become our Lord and our Saviour, we very often take it for granted that we know what this salvation means. As this is our first real step of faith, we are trusting that God has done everything for us to make our salvation possible. But we must get a good understanding of what salvation means so that we can start to live our lives the right way.

It is also important to realize that if we do not live our lives the right way if we are living them the wrong way, we might not be able to keep our salvation.

There are in the bible so many references to our salvation that it is not possible to look through all of them in this bible study. However, if you look up and read the scriptures that follow you will soon get to know what God means when He is talking about our salvation.

The scripture above is a good place to start. If you have already read it, read it again and meditate on it for a few minutes. It should give you something to think about. It should give you an understanding that your salvation is not something that is done by God alone.

There are three real questions to be answered in this bible study:
