What Does It Mean to Be Saved? 6 Clear Guides to Grace, Faith, and Following Jesus

The story in five movements

1. Creation: God creates life for communion, goodness, and wise human stewardship.
2. Rupture: Sin damages our relationship with God, one another, ourselves, and creation.
3. Grace and rescue: In Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, God acts in grace to reconcile us to himself. Christ bears sin, defeats death, and opens the way to forgiveness and restored fellowship with God.
4. New life: God calls people to repentance and faith, gives the Spirit, forms a community, and teaches a new way of life shaped by grace.
5. Restoration: Christian hope reaches toward resurrection, final healing, and creation renewed, with humanity restored to life with God.
