How Jesus Saves Us
The perfection of God’s creation was destroyed by the disobedience of our first ancestors, Adam and Eve. But God promised that there would be a way for sinful human beings to stand in His presence to receive salvation now and forever. In the Old Testament, people sacrificed the blood of animals to enter God’s presence, but now Jesus Christ, the very Son of God, has cleansed creation and atoned for the sins of the whole world by pouring out His own blood on the cross.
How Jesus Cleanses Us
Every human being is born as a sinner who is headed to hell. But through the waters of Holy Baptism, God provides a way for us to become one with His perfect Son, Jesus Christ. In Baptism, Christians follow Jesus in His journey of suffering and death, and then they rise with Him to a life that never ends. By water and in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, God gives life to His followers now and forevermore.
How Jesus Feeds Us
The most natural and intimate way of expressing common fellowship is at the table through a meal. Here on earth, Jesus Christ invites His followers to be present with Him by gathering together around the altar to receive the Lord’s Supper. In this meal, the body and blood of Jesus — which were sacrificed on the cross — are truly present with the bread and wine, and they grant us forgiveness, life and salvation in Him.
