Showing titles in Salvation Theory

The foundation of the Christian faith is built on Jesus Christ and his word to us, the Holy Bible. This Biblical Foundation Series includes elementary principles every Christian needs to help lay a strong spiritual foundation in his or her life. In this fifth Biblical Foundation book, we discover that it is grace that motivates God to offer us salvation even though we did not earn it. In fact, we cannot earn it; it is a gift. Our salvation comes as a gift of God’s grace, and it can be accessed by our response of faith. God’s grace is present in our lives to save us.

Jesus stands out as the most unique figure in the religions of the world. He made a bold claim that he was the only way to have a relationship with Almighty God. And yet, many of the other world religions set forth beliefs that are contrary to Jesus’ claims. What is so exceptional about what Jesus accomplished? Why is he different than any other religious figure? One Way! will answer these kinds of questions and more.

Prepare to have your understanding of salvation, forgiveness, and God’s very nature turned upside down—in the most beautiful way possible.

What is salvation? Why do humans need it? And what is its process? The doctrine of salvation essentially teaches how humans are condemned to an eternal hell by a just and righteous God because of their sins. However, instead of condemning all of humanity without any hope of redemption, God provided a means of salvation, so that the condemned may become righteous and dwell eternally with him in a place of blessing. In this study, we will consider salvation by exploring some of the elements within the order of its process, the gospel message, and theological issues associated with salvation ...

The concept of "Christ in you" is a profound theological cornerstone within Christian doctrine, embodying the intimate and transformative relationship between the believer and Jesus Christ. This notion transcends mere intellectual assent to faith and delves deeply into the mystical union and indwelling presence of Christ within the hearts and lives of believers. The phrase "Christ in you" is derived from Colossians 1:27, where the Apostle Paul writes, "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." ...

This book is trying to rescue two overused words—“holiness” and “sanctification”—from becoming religious fog. Its method is stubbornly biblical: don’t start with slogans, start with the words themselves (and how they function in sentences), because a lot of theological confusion is really just grammatical carelessness dressed up as “depth.” In the Old Testament, the argument is that holiness and sanctification belong to the same Hebrew family built on the root קדשׁ (q-d-š), but they wear different “grammatical clothing.” Holiness shows up mainly as adjective/noun ...

The document argues that “advancing the kingdom of God” is a slippery modern phrase: it can be used in a biblically faithful way (meaning the kingdom becomes more visible and confessed through gospel proclamation, church gathering/edification, and Spirit-wrought fruit), or it can become a slogan that quietly makes the kingdom feel like a human-managed project pushed forward by technique, money, and institutional “machinery.” It insists the biblical “grammar” should stay straight: God advances His reign; we witness to it, announce it, and live as its citizens, rather than ...

This bookt is essentially a compact “case file” arguing that the phrase “common grace” is a later theological label that often blurs biblical categories, and that Old School Baptists should reject the label while still affirming God’s real providence in the world. It starts by defining “common grace” the way Reformed writers typically do: God’s non-saving kindness and restraint broadly experienced by humanity (sun/rain, civic order, gifts, restraint of evil), sharply distinguished from saving grace in Christ. Then it notes the Old School Baptist objection: call those ...

A growing number of Christians are noticing that spiritual sluggishness is spreading among Christians. Perhaps you have observed this and have begun to pray for revival. Many factors are likely contributing to the spiritual sluggishness. This book explores one of them. We know that unless the Holy Spirit moves upon God’s people, revival is not going to happen. But the Holy Spirit uses the truth of the Gospel in the process of reviving people. This book asserts that during the past two or three hundred years, the Church has gradually embraced a gospel that is truncated to some degree. It ...

This short booklet, “BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD?”, is a tightly focused study built around one stubborn text—1 Corinthians 15:29—and it argues that Paul’s line about people being “baptized for the dead” is best handled as a rhetorical weapon in his resurrection defense, not as a permission slip for post-mortem rites. The foreword sets the tone: the church is repeatedly tempted to take an obscure phrase, detach it from the whole counsel of God, and construct a “machine” out of it—something impressive and even emotionally appealing, but ultimately replacing Christ and truth with...

La Manifestation du Christ La Promesse Divine de la Manifestation du Christ Jean 14, 15-21 Petite Leçon de Catéchisme Cette petite leçon de catéchisme nous fait prendre conscience du rôle sotériologique de Notre Seigneur Jésus Christ. Il est vrai que l’objectif ultime de l’incarnation du Logos Fils de Dieu était le rachat de la race humaine sur la croix et que cette rédemption est amplement suffisante pour racheter tous les péchés de toutes les générations, cependant, à cause des scandales, des hérésies, des blasphèmes contre le Saint-Esprit et des causes de chute, la ...

Christian victory, as explained in Colossians, is radically different from how victory is commonly imagined in both religious and cultural thinking. Paul does not describe victory as gradual spiritual dominance, mystical advancement, or human achievement over evil forces. Instead, he presents victory as a decisive, completed act accomplished by Christ alone, rooted in the Cross and applied to believers through union with Him. This redefinition is essential because misunderstanding victory leads believers either into fear-driven spirituality or into performance-based religion. Colossians ...

Timing is everything. Nothing could be truer as it relates to John Calvin and his teaching. If Calvin had lived a century earlier, his teaching would have been swallowed up in the Catholic tradition, and he would likely be a footnote in Christian history rather than a pillar. If he had come a century later, his teaching would have faced the daunting task of shaping a movement that was already in motion. When Calvin developed his doctrine, it was the perfect time. The Western World was ready for a new theological system as it had not been since the time of Constantine. This time, however, ...

Seamos honestos: ¿realmente la existencia del infierno o la aniquilación evitará que anheles aquellas cosas de las que te has privado? Este mensaje no hace más que revelar lo que ya estaba presente en tu interior.

Solo el amor lo tiene. Este libro ofrece las bases para la restauración de todas las cosas, mostrando que antes vivíamos por miedo, pero hoy podemos vivir por amor, de manera ...

You were created to walk in victory — secured by the blood of Jesus. We are living in a time of accelerating deception, spiritual confusion, and cultural upheaval. Yet none of this surprises our God. Before the foundation of the world, He prepared a victorious plan through Jesus Christ — a plan that broke the power of sin, darkness, death, and every weapon of the enemy. From the Passover meal to His triumphant resurrection, Jesus won decisive victories that are eternally recorded in the Courts of Heaven. These victories were sealed in His Blood Covenant — and as children of God, we ...

According to a book from 2020, “non-causative predestination” is basically a modern guardrail phrase: it tries to protect two claims the author insists Scripture teaches plainly—God’s sovereignty over all events and God’s holiness as “not the moral author of sin”—without letting human “logic” bully the Bible into choosing only one of them. The Foreword’s core complaint is that many controversies come from confusing mystery with contradiction. A contradiction would be God being holy and unholy “in the same sense.” Mystery is God being “sovereign over all events”...

The title “Son of Man” is one of the most theologically rich and carefully chosen titles Jesus uses for Himself in the New Testament. Far from meaning merely “a human being,” it draws together humanity, suffering, authority, judgment, and eternal kingship into a single biblical framework that spans both Testaments.

If we read the Old School/New School Presbyterian controversy the way a historian reads a fracture line in rock, the key point is this: it wasn’t a single doctrinal dispute, but a whole system—a package deal—about what Christianity is, how grace works, and who gets to steer the church. Your summary file already captures that “bundle” structure well: doctrine, revival method, polity, and institutional power all moving together. On the Old School side (Princeton-centered figures like Hodge, Alexander, Miller, and the more combative Breckinridge/Junkin wing), the animating fear was ...

One of the most subtle and destructive dangers facing Christians throughout history is not open rebellion against Christ, but a gradual return to law-based thinking after having been set free by grace. Scripture consistently warns that bondage does not always enter the Church through immorality or unbelief, but often through misplaced zeal for righteousness that quietly shifts confidence away from Christ and back onto human performance. The apostle Paul recognized this danger early in the life of the Church, which is why so much of the New Testament is devoted not merely to preaching ...
