The Bible is full of illustrations that use common experiences, such as gardening, having debt, a campfire, or joining a family, to explain what Jesus accomplished on the cross.

Some concepts and ideas in the Bible are difficult to express in words. Things like love, forgiveness, sin, and others are very abstract and complex. Metaphors make abstract concepts easier to understand. By using common experiencessuch as gardening, becoming ill, joining a family, becoming a citizen, or having debtmetaphors allow people to connect with the concepts at a personal level.
The gospel is about the good news of Jesus: Jesus has come to save us. It is important to explore, learn, appropriate, and use the illustrations the Bible itself uses to explain what Jesus accomplished on the cross.
What does salvation mean? How does the Bible explain it? How do we explain it to others? The following pages list twenty four illustrations of salvation in the Bible.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast
Ephesians 2:89
A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase, literally denoting one kind of object or idea, is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them.
An illustration is an example or instance that helps explain and make something clear.
Removing the Veil
The Bible is Gods revelation to humans (2 Tim. 3:16). That means that in the Bible we meet and get to know who God is and what he has done. Revelation means that something hidden is unveiled so it is open to be seen. We can only know God if he lifts the veil from our eyes so we can know him and his actions.
- The Lord Jesus spoke about the secrets of the kingdom of God (Luke 8:10). The Apostle Paul wrote about the mysteries God revealed to us in Jesus (Rom. 16:25; Eph. 1:9; 3:6; Col. 1:26).
- These secrets and mysteries are now revealed in the Scriptures. However, not all mysteries are revealed (Deut. 29:29). God lifted the veil far enough to let us see: who God is, what he has done in history, Jesus work of salvation, and our need for that salvation.
