Pastor Jeff Cranston and Jen Denton discuss the concept of instant Salvation. Christ's death on the cross was a complete and total atonement for our sins, which resulted in forgiveness being applied to us as a result. They also  talk about the fact that there are no conditions necessary to receive forgiveness, which includes being baptized in water. Finally, they encourage listeners to constantly remember God's amazing work in their lives and to live for Him completely.[00:10 - 04:11] Opening SegmentBeing redeemed, reconciled to God, and forgivenThe importance of forgiveness[07:02 - 17:56] Forgiveness and SalvationSalvation comes as a free gift from God, and it is not based on anything we do or don't doSalvation for non-believersSeparated from God spirituallyThe spiritually dead person cannot please God and has no capacity to know GodThe issue of non-Christians who have stepped across God's standards[17:56 - 21:53] Closing SegmentWhat to expect in the next episodeFinal words from Pastor Jeff and JenQuotes:"Among the many things that instantaneously occur, we are redeemed.
