Putting Into Practice: Salvation - Teaching Material

Imagine a young woman named Sarah who, after years of searching for meaning, finally experiences the profound love of God and accepts Christ into her heart. For Sarah, salvation wasn’t just a life-altering event; it became the beginning of a beautiful journey with purpose. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands us to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” This isn’t merely a call to evangelism but an invitation into a communal life of faith—one where we actively share our experiences of salvation with others.

For Sarah, this meant stepping out of her comfort zone and serving at a local shelter. Each week, she would show up, not only to help feed those in need but to share her testimony of how faith transformed her life. As she listened to the stories of others, she found that the act of service deepened her own faith and gave her a sense of belonging within her community.

This is where the real-world implications of our faith become evident. When we step into the call of discipleship, we not only grow spiritually but also extend the hope we’ve received to others. Like Sarah, we can embrace our new identity in Christ by reaching out—offering love, support, and encouragement.

So, let’s ask ourselves: Who is God calling you to serve this week? How can you share the light of your faith, just as Sarah did? In doing so, we fulfill the great commission and experience the joy of living out our salvation in community.
