2. Will be saved at the return of Christ<br />

1 Thessalonians 4:17 (cf. 4:13-17)<br />

" After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together<br />

with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be<br />

with the Lord forever."<br />

Galatians 1:4 (NLT)<br />

"Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to<br />

rescue us from this evil world in which we live."<br />

III. NEED FOR SALVATION<br />

A. Stated :<br />

Romans 3:23<br />

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"<br />

B. Elaborated :<br />

1. People are sinners by nature (Eph. 2:1-3), by imputation/transfer<br />

(Ro. 5:19), and by practice (Ro. 1:21-32; 3:9-18; Tit. 3:3).<br />

Romans 5:19 (NLT)<br />

"Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one<br />

other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous."<br />

Ephesians 2:1-3 (NLT)<br />

"Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins.<br />

2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the<br />

commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in<br />

the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way,<br />

following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By<br />

our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else."<br />

Titus 3:3 (NLT)<br />

"Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became<br />

slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy,<br />

and we hated each other."<br />
