* Man’s Greatest Need
* Our deepest need is not money, health, or freedom — it is to be rescued from sin and fully reconciled to God.
* The Old Testament repeatedly shows us this truth: no matter how many times God delivered Israel from external enemies, the root problem of sin always remained.
* Why Jesus Came Jesus came
* “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).

* Biblical Definition of Salvation
* Salvation means deliverance from danger, peril, or suffering — rescue into safety, victory, freedom, and life. It includes both temporal and eternal deliverance, with the ultimate focus on spiritual salvation from sin.
* Salvation Is God’s Work Alone
* Salvation belongs to the Lord (Psalm 3:8). We cannot earn it.
* Like Israel at the Red Sea, our role is to “stand still” in faith and trust God to save us (Exodus 14:13).
* Old Testament Picture of Salvation
* The Old Testament shows God repeatedly rescuing His people from physical danger (especially in the Exodus).
* These stories serve as powerful types and shadows pointing to our greater spiritual deliverance from sin.
* The Hebrew Connection – Yeshua
* The Hebrew word for salvation is yeshuah (from the root yasha = “to save/deliver”).
* Jesus’ Hebrew name Yeshua means “Yahweh saves.” He is literally “Salvation” in human form (Matthew 1:21).
* Old Testament Hope Through the Prophets
* Judges and kings could only give temporary rescue because sin remained.
* The prophets pointed forward to ultimate salvation: a Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53), a new heart and God’s Spirit (Ezekiel 36), and a New Covenant with full forgiveness (Jeremiah 31).
* Fulfillment in Christ
* Old Testament salvation was like the sunrise — real but partial.
* In Jesus, the full sun has risen. He is the “Sun of Righteousness” with healing in His wings (Malachi 4:2).
* The long-awaited Yeshuah has come!
