Better Things – Part 1

Hebrews 6:9 (NKJV): “But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things  that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.” 

We Are Confident of Better Things Concerning You! Confident = Convinced, Certain, Void of Any  Doubt ——>Philippians 1:6 (NKJV): “…being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a  good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…” Better = Life, Living, Circumstances,  Outcomes, Future, End —>Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares  the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”  

7 DOCTRINES OF SALVATION

FORGIVENESS–A Life of Forgiveness. Psalm 103:12 (NLT):“He has removed our sins as far from us as  the east is from the west.” 1 John 1:9 (NKJV):“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Matthew 6:14-15 (NLT): “If you forgive those  who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your  Father will not forgive your sins.”  

JUSTIFICATION–A Life of Peace. Romans 4:25 (NIV): “He was delivered over to death for our sins and  was raised to life for our justification.” ‘Dikaiosis;’ from 1344; aquittal (for Christ’s sake): justification,  the act of Cod declaring men free from guilt and acceptable to him, abjuring to be righteous. Romans 5:1-2 (NIV): “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God  through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which  we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.”
