Jesus saves the lost through His sacrificial death and by the power of the Holy Spirit, who brings conviction and transformation.
Jesus saves the lost through His atoning sacrifice on the cross, as He paid the penalty for our sins with His precious blood. This redeeming work is effectual for those whom the Holy Spirit calls and transforms. The Holy Spirit convicts hearts of their sinful state, helping individuals realize their need for forgiveness and salvation. As expressed in the sermon, when we truly understand the cost of our salvation through Christ's sacrifice, it compels us to respond with joy and a desire to serve God. Therefore, salvation is a multifaceted work of grace initiated by God, culminating in a changed life devoted to Him.
