What does the Bible say about salvation for rebels?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God saves sinners, specifically referring to rebels like Saul of Tarsus, who was transformed by God's grace.
The Bible reveals that salvation is available to all who recognize themselves as rebels against God. Saul of Tarsus, later the Apostle Paul, exemplifies this, as he was breathing threats against Christians before encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus. In 1 Timothy 1:15, Paul declares that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom he identifies himself as the chief. This highlights the core Reformed belief that God's grace is extended to the undeserving, and it is through recognizing our rebellion that we understand our need for salvation.
