ONLY REDEEMED, OR SAVED?



When the British Government sent word to Jamaica that slavery was at an end, that was the act of a government speaking for a nation. Slavery in Jamaica was at an end. Every slave had the right to go free.
I doubt not there were slaves who did not believe it & went on with their slavery. They did not take the government's action as true. They did not accept the fact that slavery in Jamaica had been abolished; those who did believe it got rid of their shackles & were free.

I am here to say that every man, woman and every child in this church tonight is redeemed. Is every man, woman & child in the church saved?

That depends upon your attitude toward the finished work. Redemption is a work of God, but in order to have salvation the individual must exercise faith in what is accomplished.

“Mark 16:16 (NIV): “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”

“The unsaved people will be cast into utter darkness forever.” Tim LaHaye.
