BIBLE STUDY Week 1
Salvation

One of the most important habits to get into that will
help you grow as a new Christian is memorizing Bible
verses. In Psalm 119:11 the Bible says, “I have hidden
Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against
You.” Memorizing Bible verses and doing what they
say, will help you to fight against temptation and
instruct you to do what is right. We encourage you
to memorize the verse below to give you a better
understanding of the topic of salvation.

John chapter 3, verse 16, or abbreviated, it would look like
this: John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that He gave
His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”

John 3:3, 7 – In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, unless
a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God…You
should not be surprised at my saying ‘You must be born again.’”

Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded us saying, “You must be born
again.” In this lesson you should learn:
A. Why we need to be saved.
B. How God has provided for our salvation.
C. How we can have that salvation personally.

Before you start, PRAY. Ask God’s Holy Spirit to open your
heart to receive His Word and to show you how to apply it in
your life. Do not copy the scriptures, but answer the question
briefly and in your own words.

Sin is the failure to obey any of God’s commandments or laws.
1. How does the Bible describe sin?
I John 3:4________________________________________
2. What is the result of sin?
Romans 6:23______________________________________
James 1:15________________________________________

To better understand the effects of sin, think of death as
SEPARATION.
A. Spiritual death -- Your sins have separated you from
God.
B. Physical death -- It separates the spirit and soul from the
body.
C. Eternal death -- If you remain lost in your sins, they will
separate you from the mercy of God forever.
(This is the greatest punishment of Hell.)

To be RIGHTEOUS means “to do right: to be totally innocent
before God in regards to obeying His commandments.”
3. How many of us are righteous? Romans 3:10
_________________________________________________
4. How many of us have sinned? Romans 3:23

die for us? John 3:16

enough for God to love us? Romans 5:8
_________________________________________________
7. Read each of the verses below and indicate if we are saved
by Jesus only or if God allows another way for salvation.
I Timothy 2:5_____________________________________
Acts 4:12_________________________________________
John 14:6_________________________________________

God’s Word says sin causes death. Jesus took that penalty upon
Himself in our place.
8. How did Jesus take the penalty of sin for us? I Corinthians
15:3_____________________________________________
9. What must we do to have Him save us from the penalty of
sin?
Romans 10:9______________________________________
Acts 16:30-31_____________________________________

BELIEVE means “to cling to, trust in and rely on.” CONFESS
means “to admit guilt or acknowledge one’s sin.”
10. The Bible uses several words to show the contrast between
“works” and “faith.” Next to each of the following
scriptures write the words that describe how we are saved.
Ephesians 2:8_____________________________________
Titus 3:5_________________________________________
11. Why does the Bible say we are not saved by our works?
Ephesians 2:9_____________________________________

JUSTICE is getting what we deserve. If God were only a just
God, we would all perish.

MERCY is not getting what we deserve. It is by His mercy He
can forgive us.

GRACE is getting something we don’t deserve at all. By God’s
grace (not our own merit) He sent us His Son.

FAITH is accepting as truth, things which cannot be proved by
the senses. Faith is trusting God.
12. What should be the result of God’s goodness and kindness to
us? Romans 2:4___________________________________
_________________________________________________

REPENTANCE means “a change of mind.” It is through
change in the hearts of men, away from sin and toward God. It
should include:
A. A genuine sorrow for our sins.
B. Cleansing from continually sinning.
C. A desire to submit to God’s will.
13. When we repent, what happens in Heaven?
Luke 15:10_______________________________________

Have the angels rejoiced over you? All you have to do is pray
this simple prayer and mean it in your heart: “Jesus, I know I
am a sinner. Forgive my sins and take control of my life. I
believe you died and rose again. Thank you for being my Lord
and Savior, Amen.”

From memory write out your memory verse, John 3:16.
