In every church around our community, you will most likely hear the same message at some point speaking about the concept of salvation. Whether this be in the booming voice of a Baptist, the confident solemness of a Presbyterian, the charismatic shout of a Pentecostal, the comforting tone of a Methodist, the liturgical song of a Catholic, or the modern vernacular of a Non-Denominationist, you WILL hear a message of salvation.
The message will touch on some essential points universal to our collective faiths, namely that we are all sinners (those who disobey the Will of God) and need redemption (restoration into the Holy Community of faith that is God’s Kingdom). This comes from repentance of our transgressions and a proclamation of our submission to our Lord (confessing and submitting to Jesus Christ). By doing so we are gifted with the divine rekindling of our place among the Kingdom of God and saved from the consequences of our disobedience.
In short, Christ Jesus saves us from our sins. The end….right?
