Redemption ~ Being bought through the death of Christ and now belonging to Him
Propitiation ~ Satisfying the requirements of God to come into His presence
Justification ~ Being declared righteous through the righteousness of Christ
Sanctification ~ Being set apart as God's possession
Reconciliation ~ Having our relationship with God set right
New Birth ~ Being born into the family of God
How's that?

> Salvation ~ Free from the power of sin and knowing God personally
"Rescued from danger- of the PENALTY, POWER and PRESENCE of sin"
> Redemption ~ Being bought through the death of Christ and now belonging to
> Him
"Spot on I think"
> Propitiation ~ Satisfying the requirements of God to come into His presence
"Spot on again"
> Justification ~ Being declared righteous through the righteousness of Christ
"I agree. I like the definition by Vine- A concrete expression of
righteousness"
> Sanctification ~ Being set apart as God's possession
"Being set apart for God's USE. I think that redemption sets us apart
as his possession"
> Reconciliation ~ Having our relationship with God set right
"I agree."
> New Birth ~ Being born into the family of God
"I think the implication is a new type of LIFE rather than a new
relationship."
Thanks. I've chosen to speak in JB on Nov 19 on some of these words, to
help everyone listening appreciate more the great salvation we have
received through the Lord Jesus...
