The Salvation Experience

THE SALVATION EXPERIENCE
Pastor Steve Trimble ~ February 28, 2010

Text: 1 Peter 1:22- 2:3

2:2-3 “Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness." NLT

I. YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED TO CRAVE GOD

A. We crave to know our Creator.


II. YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED TO TASTE THE LORD'S GOODNES (3) "…now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."

Ps 34:8 "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."

A. We taste to satisfy our craving.

1. The born again experience is the first taste.

John 3:1-7

John 6:53-58
2. God wants you to taste the REAL THING.

John 6:27 "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you."


B. God wants you to grow up in your Salvation experience.

Matt5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."



Conclusion: Have you been born again?
