Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

EHBC’s Statement of Belief, Article 7: Salvation

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.

Today's points:

0) Salvation is only available by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

1) Our salvation is historical—it was accomplished in the past in Jesus Christ.

2) Our salvation is actual—it is occurring right now in Jesus Christ.

3) Our salvation is eventual—it will be completed in the future in Jesus Christ.

“At the heart of the evangelical doctrine of salvation is the free movement of God in calling sinners to repent, believe, and be born again. Jesus correlated all 3 (John 3).”

-- Dr. Malcolm B. Yarnell, III, tweet from 4/6/22

Baptist Faith & Message 2000, Article IV. C.: Sanctification

Sanctification is the experience, beginning in regeneration, by which the believer is set apart to God’s purposes, and is enabled to progress toward moral and spiritual maturity through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him. Growth in grace should continue throughout the regenerate person’s life.

For discussion this week:
-- What is something that happened in the past that you still live out the results of today?
-- Have you experienced regeneration through faith in Jesus Christ? Have you been born again?
-- How does it encourage you to know that we will be set free from sin, sickness, pain, and death when we experience glorification?
