What does the word 'salvation' mean?
Salvation is an all-inclusive word meaning everything God does on behalf of the believer who cries out as a sinner, believes Christ died for them, and then God imputes righteousness, forgives, cleanses, baptizes them into the body, and does everything that needs to be done.
Les teaches that salvation is that all-inclusive word implying everything God does on behalf of the believer who cries out, 'I’m a sinner, I’m in need of salvation, I believe that Christ died for me.' Then God does everything else: He imputes righteousness, forgives, cleanses, baptizes us into the body, and does everything that needs to be done. We know He did it by faith, not by feeling or sight, because the book says so. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, not church membership, baptism, or a work.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
