Summary

The speaker emphasizes that salvation is secured by calling upon Jesus' name, which is the promise of deliverance from sin. He urges listeners to recognize the spiritual promises God has given them, warning against accepting false teachings or 'bad checks' from others. Drawing from the perspective of a man on death row, the message pivots to the urgency of recognizing that 'this world is on death row,' urging believers to live with the awareness that their time is limited and should be spent investing in God's kingdom.

The first promise in the New TestamentThe first promise in the New Testament found in Matthew is that Jesus will save His people from their sins.Matthew 1:21

This world is on death rowLike a man on death row facing imminent execution, Christians must realize that the world has a ticking time clock and our days are numbered.

Do not love the worldBelievers are commanded not to love the world or its passing lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and boastful pride of life.1 John 2:15

Looking at salvation in Hebrews 2Just as the world suffers under the curse of sin, Jesus came in human flesh to provide more than just forgiveness—He provided a pathway of hope.

How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?Believers must pay close attention to this great salvation brought by God in the flesh, lest they neglect it and drift away.

Perfecting the author of salvation through sufferingsIt was fitting for God to perfect the author of our salvation through sufferings in order to bring many sons into glory.

Jesus prayed with loud crying and tearsDuring His days on earth, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death.

Learning obedience through sufferingAlthough He was a Son, Jesus learned obedience from the things He suffered, becoming the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.

Praise the Lord with a new songBelievers are called to rejoice in their Maker and King, knowing that the Lord takes pleasure in His people.

He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvationGod takes our momentary light afflictions and uses them to put the beauty of salvation around us as trophies of His grace.Psalm 149:4
