Central Truth: Salvation is not just about forgiveness, it is about the restoration of sinners.

The 3 D's of Salvation:
1. God's DESIRE for sinners.
2. God's DELIGHT in sinners.
3. God's offering of DIGNITY to sinners.

Closing Thought: The alienation of Jesus made it possible for the adoption of sinners.
