Salvation in Jesus
Our spirit is set in one direction, the only direction
for our intellect, will and heart is towards Christ,
our Redeemer, towards Christ the redeemer of man.
We wish to look towards him because there is
salvation in no one else but him. The son of God.
Pope John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis

Did HE really have to become man and die?
3 Theories
an attempt to answer
this question.
Vicarious Satisfaction (St. Anselm)Since God is eternal ever sin committed against
him is an eternal offence. Only someone eternal
can make reparation for such an offense. Human
being are incapable of satisfying the offence since
humans are finite. Hence there is a need for an
eternal human being:, Jesus Christ
Penal Substitution (The Reformers)God, In his Justice, ought to punish humanity for
all their sinfulness. The Son, however, voluntarily
tool upon himself the wrath of God and bore the
punishment which ought to be for humankind.
Ransom Theory (Origen)Because of their sinfulness, their free rejection of
God, human beings rightfully belong to Satan,
God, however, in his love for humanity, ransoms
them from Satan using his only Son as payment

Salvation is for the whole

It is not just for the soul, but for the totality of
human nature: mind, soul and body. Hence,
Christ concerned himself with the spiritual as

Salvation is a process
Salvation is about relationship; it is more of a
process than a one-for-all event.
It requires humanitys free response to Gods
gift of salvation, and continuous growth in the
context of this response.

Salvation History
The history of salvation is the salvation in history.Christians are those members of humanity conscious of thesalvation taking place in it. (Gonzales-CarvajalSantabarbara2005:138)
Since salvation is a process that begins in the here andnow, then human history is salvation history. Faithcompels us to always see secular history as never isolatedfrom salvation history; for there is no moment whenhumanitys historical existence was not affected by Godssaving presence. It is the will of God that his gift of
salvation be conveyed to us through various events,persons, and places within our history. Hence, Christianityis a religion rooted in history, in the actual experiences ofhumanity.

a.)The unfolding of gods plan-Salvation history is the series of events through which
the plan of God took shape. It is about our communication with
God, revealed in Scripture and mediated by Christ, which takesplace in clear, progressive, historical stages, culminating in theestablishment of the Kingdom of God. (J.C. von Hofmann) Theprimarily concern of salvation history is not factual details and exactchronology. Rather, salvation history is concerned with thediscovery ofGods plan as it unfolds through his interventions in the
history of humanity. These dealings of God with humanity arerecorded in the Bible, beginning with the creation of the world.Hence, salvation history is a story-in-progress, and all of us are partof it.
-Generally, salvation history is divided in three
stages:(1) The time before Christ,
(2) the time of Christ, and
(3) the time of the Church

b.) Characteristics of Salvationhistory
1. ChristocentricThe whole history of salvation has for its
central figure the person of Jesus Christ.
Hence, salvation history, in its very nature, isChristocentric, It is in Jesus that the entirehistory of humanity finds meaning. It is also tohim that history tends. Because of this, all
events and persons in the history of salvationare seen in the light of the person of Jesus,apart from whom they have no Value.

2. Biblical
The Bible is the record of salvation
history. It is the will of God that his
interventions in human history be recorded in
the sacred pages of the Bible that all people
may know his plan of salvation.

3. Inculturated
The word who became flesh, spoke
human words, wore human clothes related withpeople. When God became human in the personof Jesus, he immersed himself in a particularculture, and made use of the language of that
culture to convey Gods message. Salvationhistory, therefore, is a critical look on how thedifferent elements within the context ofhumanity are actually avenues of Godsrevelation, and at the same time, potent meansof expressing revelation.

4. Systematic
Salvation history is not made up ofrandom events put together. Rather, it is a
developmental story of reflecting the
pedagogy of God. In Revelation, God always
gave consideration to mans readiness and
capacity. Thus, Gods communication with
humanity, as manifested in salvation history,
follows a system that accommodateshumankinds capacity to respond in faith.
