Coin of Salvation

 
   Have you ever wished you had some kind of tool that would help you talk to people about the Lord?

   We have created these coins to do just that. On one side it speaks of justification and on the other, sanctification.

   The graphics make it easy to remember and talk about what is important in salvation;

   The  Cross, which is how we are justified through faith, and sanctification; how we mature in the Lordship of Christ.



This coin holds no intrinsic value. It cannot be exchanged for money or goods. Yet what it represents is of immeasurable worth. On it are three essential biblical terms—salvation, justification, sanctification—and one name that encompasses and secures them all: Christ.

Salvation — Deliverance from Divine Wrath
The Bible declares that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Every person is under sin’s curse, separated from God, and destined to face His holy wrath. That is humanity’s greatest problem.

The good news of the gospel is that Christ has come to deliver sinners from that wrath. Scripture says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

 Salvation, then, is not merely rescue from temporal danger but deliverance from eternal judgment.  It is God’s gracious act of saving the sinner from sin’s penalty, power, and ultimately its very presence.

Justification — A Legal Declaration of Righteousness
If salvation answers the question, “From what must I be saved?” justification answers the question, “How can I, a sinner, be right before a holy God?”

The Bible’s answer is clear: only through Christ. “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”                                  
 (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Justification is forensic. It is God’s judicial act whereby He declares the believing sinner righteous—not on the basis of works, but solely on the basis of Christ’s righteousness credited to the believer through faith. Paul writes, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).

This is the heart of the gospel. Christ bore the full penalty of man’s sin on the cross, satisfying God’s justice. In exchange, His perfect righteousness is imputed to those who believe. Thus God is both “just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”            (Romans 3:26)

Sanctification — The Process of Holiness
If justification declares us righteous, sanctification makes us progressively righteous in practice. By definition, sanctification means to be set apart. In salvation, believers are positionally sanctified—set apart once for all in Christ (Hebrews 10:10). Yet sanctification is also progressive, as the Spirit of God conforms us increasingly into the image of Christ                                                                   (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Paul reminds believers: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). Sanctification is not optional; it is the inevitable evidence of genuine salvation.
This process continues throughout the believer’s life until glorification, when the work is completed. As Paul assures us, “…He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

The Necessity of Faith in Christ
To experience what this coin represents, one must repent of their unbelief and accept the truth that Jesus is the promised Christ.  Salvation is not earned through good deeds, religious rituals, or human merit. It is received by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.

At the moment of saving faith, God removes the believer’s sin, credits Christ’s righteousness to him, and begins the lifelong process of sanctification. The believer is delivered from wrath (salvation), declared righteous (justification), and set apart for holiness (sanctification).
This is the comprehensive work of God’s saving grace.

A Call to Respond
The Bible gives both an invitation and a warning. “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13). But it also says, “How will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3).

Friend, you must respond. Repent of your unbelief, believe the good news of the gospel, trust in Jesus to be the Christ the Son of God who alone provides salvation. The gift of eternal life is offered freely—but it must be received by faith.

Here is a prayer you can use to respond to respond to God’s offer of salvation. “Father, I know that I am a sinner and deserve Your judgment. But I believe that Jesus Christ, Your Son, died on the cross for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I turn from my sin and place my trust in Him alone as my Savior and Lord. Please forgive me, credit me with His righteousness, and help me to live a life that honors You. Thank You for Your gift of salvation through Christ. Amen.”

Next Steps
If you have trusted Christ as your Savior:
•Read God’s Word. Begin with the Gospel of John and study daily.
•Join a faithful church. Seek out a congregation where the Bible, God’s word is taught with authority and clarity.
•Grow in holiness. Submit to the Spirit’s work of sanctification, striving to walk in obedience and love to Jesus Christ, your Savior.
