Salvation in the Old Testament is viewed primarily as a means of going to heaven, which calls for obedience of Gods commandments to be worth before Him. Although this is similar to the New Testament, the New Testament mainly emphasizes on deliverance from sin through Jesus Christ, the son of God, who died to redeem his people from sin and its consequences. Salvation in the Old Testament was mainly based on faith in God (Kärkkäinen 63). For instance, God considered Abraham, who was faithful to him, as a man through whom he would raise a great generation that would please and obey Him.

Christ and his work help define the Spirit and his work in the Christian life (Fee, 32). In Paul’s view, Christ is the main character in the act of salvation, but salvation is initiated by the Father and goes together with the activity of the

I learned that theological wisdom is gained from God, the Almighty and it is depicted as an aspect of God. The Bible expounds or explains this fact in (Proverbs 2:6).

Each strand has its own color and significant meaning: The (( Pick a Color ))strand represents God and his divinity. This marriage is under His authority and intended to glorify him. The (( Pick a Color ))strand represents the groom and his life in Christ. As the groom submits himself to God, in return, God will demonstrate his love in the couple’s marriage.
