The Invisible Church - 'Saved' by (5Ws +1H).

The Invisible Church - Become 'Saved'!

VALIDATE ONE'S SALVATION:

1) WHAT SAVED YOU?
The Blood of Jesus Christ saves us. It is the propitiation for our sin.



2) WHO SAVED YOU?
God saves you. Since we have sinned against God, it is He and He alone who can forgive and save. Jesus is God. His sacrifice on the cross has saved us.

3) HOW ARE YOU SAVED?
You are saved by Grace through Faith! 
How does the Bible say to be saved?
Romans 10:9-10
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. ”

4) WHY ARE YOU SAVED?
To receive eternal life. Also, we are saved so that we can carry out the purpose for which God has us on earth: to share the good news of God's grace and to be the hands and feet of Christ in this world, showing God's love through our actions.

5) WHEN WERE YOU SAVED?
When you confessed your sin to God and accepted His Son as your Saviour.
The Bible clearly teaches that the moment a person turns from his sin and trusts in Jesus to be forgiven of his sin, he is saved (Acts 2:37-41). He has passed from spiritual death to spiritual life (John 5:24) and has been declared not guilty in God's court of law (Rom 3:21-26).

6) WHERE WERE YOU SAVED?
At the place where you heard the good news about God's plan of Salvation. And you responded and invited Jesus Christ in to your heart.

'Augustine of Hippo' on the "Invisible Church"

Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) is one of the most influential theologians in Christian history, and while he did not explicitly use the term "Invisible Church," his writings laid much of the groundwork for the later development of this concept in Christian thought, especially in Reformed theology. ### Augustine's View of the Church For Augustine, the Church was central to Christian life and salvation, and he deeply engaged with issues related to the nature of the Church, particularly in the context of his struggles against various heresies, such as Donatism and Pelagianism. #### Key Themes Related to the Invisible Church 1. **Two Aspects of the Church**: Augustine viewed the Church as having two aspects—an earthly, visible institution and a spiritual, invisible reality. The visible Church consists of those who outwardly participate in Christian worship and sacraments, while the invisible Church is composed of those who are truly predestined for salvation by God. 2. **Mix...

'Clement of Alexandria' on 'The Invisible Church'.

Clement of Alexandria (c. 150–c. 215 AD) was an early Christian theologian and philosopher, deeply influential in the development of Christian thought, particularly within the context of Alexandrian Christianity. While Clement did not directly speak of the "Invisible Church" as it was later conceptualized, his writings contain ideas that align with the concept of an invisible, spiritual Church. ### Key Ideas in Clement's Thought Relating to the Invisible Church 1. **True Gnosis (Knowledge) and the Spiritual Church**: Clement emphasized the idea of **gnosis** (Greek for "knowledge"), which, in his Christian context, referred to a deeper spiritual understanding and connection with God. He believed that true Christians possess a kind of spiritual knowledge that goes beyond mere outward observance of religious practices.
