Week Six, Part One: Salvation; What God has done
So far we have addressed primarily what man has done or not done to live right with God. We’ve addressed the need for messengers to tell the world about it’s condition of sin, but what has God done to help man? Salvation is the most important thing that man needs to learn about. Man needs to know that God has taken all necessary action to bring back man to himself. See man has strayed he like sheep has gone astray from God, has denied him and broke away from the fold that protects him from the wolves. God being the True Shepherd has called out to man to come back to the fold. He has made a way for man to be reunited with him and his plan is called Salvation. He desires to save man! This week we will take a look into his plan to save man by his grace.

Week Six Part Two Salvation: What Man Must Do
In this two-part instruction we first talked about Salvation in terms of what God has done, but now we must address what man must do. As it is with any relationship it is a two way street. Certainly God is in charge yet he has given man free will. Man has the freedom to choose the freedom to say yes or no. There of course are benefits and also consequences depending on what we choose. Man’s part of salvation is much easier than God’s part. God gave his only begotten son to die for our salvation. Man’s part is that he must repent of all sin and return to God in faith. Man must not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. In this part of the lesson we will address what man must do in order to be saved. God has done his part, now man must likewise do his. This lesson will instruct how important it is to hear God’s word and believe and put this into action.
