RCCG SUPER TEENS ZEAL FOR 2024/2025
AGE 16-19 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 1ST OF SEPTEMBER, 2024
LESSON ONE (01)
TOPIC: SALVATION

BIBLE TEXT: Rom. 10:9-10, Acts 4:12
Romans 10:9-10
[9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[10]For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Acts 4:12
[12]Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

MEMORY VERSE: Romans 10:9. “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved”.

LESSON AIM: To get the unsaved become saved while the saved takes a bold step in knowing and operating in the benefits of salvation.

INTRODUCTION: We learn words more by associating them with other W words. Lola, grew up in an environment where they hardly went to church nor was she conversant with church terminologies. One particular word which caused her much confusion was the word “salvation”. She really could not connect with it since her father worked at a salvag company. So she figured salvation had to do with claiming something that was broken and messed up and then somehow reselling it for a bit of profit. Well turns out she was pretty close. Salvation simply is defined as “deliverance from sin and its consequences” Romans 6:17-18. Once you are saved, you become a new creature in Christ. 2 Corinth 5:17. Why do you need salvation? How can you get truly saved? What benefits are there for you in salvation? These and more we will be discussing in this study.
