Christians are Heirs to a Glorious Salvation

A glorious salvation that was promised from the beginning

A glorious salvation that was predicted by Christ through the prophets

A glorious salvation that was fulfilled in Christ - both sufferings and glories

A glorious salvation that is received by the preaching and the work of the Holy Spirit

A glorious salvation that stuns angels. 

Two roles of prophets

First role: Speaking on God's behalf

Remind Israelites of their covenant with God / Call them to repent \ Announce consequences

Second role: Speak about the future

A glorious salvation that was fulfilled in Christ - both sufferings and glories  

Sufferings of Christ: Isaiah 53

Glories of Christ: Acts 2

A glorious salvation that is received by the preaching and the work of the Holy Spirit

A glorious salvation that stuns angels. 

 Salvation saves us from the penalty of sin. (Past)

 Salvation saves us from the power of sin. (Present)

 Salvation saves us from the future presence of sin. (Future)
