Winning Words

On the heels of my previous post I've been reminded of the words that should be part of every Christian believer's vocabulary. The list is certainly not definitive in any way. Just a few words to came to mind as I thought about the Incarnation. Could you define these glorious words and the accompanying truths if asked?

A partial list:

Redemption
Justification
Salvation
Humiliation
Incarnation
Propitiation
Substitutionary Atonement
Vicarious Suffering

"Redeemed how I love to proclaim it,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb."

"In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" - Ephesians 1:7 (KJV)

Be encouraged today! God has done mighty things to accomplish our salvation without one iota of help from us. It's all of Him! It's all by grace! Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Terry said...: Dear David...These are ALL such good words but if I would have to pick a favorite in this list....It would be "Justification"..We were always taught after we got saved that the best meaning for THIS word was...Just as if I had NEVER sinned!"
How precious is that, eh?

Hey David..NOT bad for the second Barnabas posting of the year!

Keep up the good work!!....from Terry; 1/01/2007 2:24 PM
