So Great Salvation!
The theme of salvation is "so great" (Hebrews 2:3), it embraces many major doctrines of Scripture. As a very sketchy summary, one may note that it includes
the doctrine of atonement (Leviticus 17:11);
the doctrine of substitution (Isaiah 53:5);
the doctrine of imputation (Romans 4:6-8);
the doctrine of propitiation (1 John 2:2);
the doctrine of redemption (1 Peter 1:18);
the doctrine of remission (Acts 10:43);
the doctrine of justification (Romans 3:28);
the doctrine of adoption (Ephesians 1:5);
the doctrine of reconciliation (Romans 5:10, 11);
the doctrine of regeneration (Titus 3:5);
the doctrine of sanctification (Hebrews 10:9-10); &
the doctrine of glorification (Romans 8:30).
When a person is saved, the blessings implied in every one of these great doctrines of salvation become his, whether Jew or Gentile, whether found in Old Testament prophecy or New Testament fulfillment.
No wonder Paul was not ashamed of this great gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ,
and neither should we be!
