(Eph 2:1) “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;” Many times man today only shares part of the gospel: Jesus loves you, died for you, and now will give you everlasting life if you believe. The true gospel is that Jesus bore the cross, dying in our place because we were dead in trespasses and sin. Salvation comes through the acknowledgment and repentance (the desire to turn from them) of that sin. We ask the Lord for forgiveness and the gift of everlasting life. That….is when He saves.
