what is salvation
DESCRIPTION
According to the Bible, the key issue facing mankind is sin (i.e. missing the mark that God has set for us). This presentation outlines how mankind lost its way from the original creation, the consequences of sin (the worst consequence being the separation from God) and God's salvation plan (through which God reconciles mankind to Himself through the full and final work of Jesus on the Cross). This salvation is free. But missing this could cost you eternTRANSCRIPT
