Our Great Salvation is an excellent study of soteriology—the doctrine of salvation—written as discipleship materials for small groups or beginning Bible school classes. It is the ninth book in the discipleship series, “Teach Me Your Paths.” There are helpful study questions at the end of each lesson. The salvation story starts at the creation of Adam and Eve, and then moves to the terrible tragedy of the Fall, when sin and Satan entered the Garden. Yet even in those tragic hours God made a promise that the Seed of the woman (Jesus Christ) would bruise the head of the serpent. That ...

Water baptism is a foundational practice in the Christian faith, deeply rooted in the teachings of the New Testament and the tradition of the early Church. It is more than a mere ritual; it is a profound spiritual act that signifies a believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Water baptism holds a vital place in the life of a believer. The Scriptures emphasizes the multifaceted significance of baptism, highlighting its role in the believer's spiritual journey, their relationship with Christ, and their integration into the body of believers. Water ...

Étant douloureusement conscientes de leurs péchés et confrontées fréquemment aux avertissements bibliques concernant ceux qui s’éloignent de la foi, certaines personnes peuvent être tentées de croire qu’elles ont perdu leur salut. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul examine les Écritures afin de déterminer s’il est possible pour un vrai chrétien de s’éloigner de la foi.

The sufficiency of grace as it relates to eternal security is a profound and central theme in Christian theology. Grace, defined as the unmerited favor of God, is pivotal for understanding the concept of eternal security—the belief that once a person is truly saved, they remain saved forever. This doctrine is deeply rooted in the New Testament and is supported by numerous scriptural passages that highlight the unchanging and steadfast nature of God's grace. To begin with, the doctrine of eternal security is often encapsulated in the phrase "once saved, always saved." This doctrine asserts...

At the heart of this exultant proclamation is the understanding that the name of Jesus is a banner of victory over the forces that seek to oppress and diminish. It is a shout of defiance against the shadows of despair, a resounding declaration that darkness must yield to the unwavering light of Christ. In the name of Jesus, the defeated find the anthem of their liberation, and the broken discover the melody of their restoration. This shout of joy is a celebration of the transformative power encapsulated in the name of Jesus. It echoes through testimonies of lives touched by miraculous ...

Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul lève le voile sur les erreurs courantes et les fausses interprétations quant à la doctrine de la prédestination. Loin d’être fataliste, cette doctrine révèle les richesses de la grâce de Dieu et apporte du réconfort à notre âme.

At the heart of the Christian understanding of grace is the life and work of Jesus Christ. The incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus are the ultimate manifestations of God's grace. Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross paid the penalty for sin, making it possible for humanity to be reconciled with God. This act of grace is described as a substitutionary atonement, where Jesus took upon Himself the punishment that was due to sinners, thereby satisfying the demands of divine justice and demonstrating the depths of God's love. The resurrection of Jesus is also a testament to ...

What’s the most intriguing subject to most people in the world, Christian and non-Christian? It’s to “Examine The End Times”, Eschatology, Going back to the future! Why are so many fascinated by what is to come? Possibly it’s our human nature of curiosity, as we want to know, NO, we MUST know! We want to discern our own End Time in Heaven or Hell and our Earth’s End Time. Regrettably, most have been greatly deceived by devilish liars, false teachers, and countless fanatical charlatans. The Book of Revelation is the least-read book in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood ...

The first part of this book talks about the very grim subject of what it will be like to die lost. Nothing in this existence is as bad as or any worse than leaving this existence and entering into eternal condemnation. Jesus talked about two places of punishment. The first, called hades, is condemnation of the soul. The souls of people who have already died and were lost are there right now. The souls of people who will die lost will soon go there. Hades is not a nice place. In fact, it is a horrible place to be at even for a little while. But as bad as hades may be, gehenna will be much ...

In an effort to persuade the Calvinists, a fellow minister who used to believe in Calvinism frequently used the term "enabling grace". This prompted the author to write an article on the subject and other topics on Calvinism. With the help of other ministers, by the grace of God, that fellow is no longer a Calvinist. The Calvinists would often make mention of terms such as sovereign grace, efficacious grace, irresistible grace, etc. to mean something different or to emphasize their doctrine. When a Calvinist speaks about "enabling grace", he meant that God's grace cannot be resisted. This ...

The concept of wisdom has long fascinated human beings. Across different cultures, people have sought to define and apply wisdom in their quest for understanding and meaning. In ancient Greece, wisdom was prized above all other virtues, and philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle made significant contributions to how wisdom was perceived and pursued. This intellectual heritage greatly influenced the mindset of the world, including the culture that surrounded the early church, as seen in the context of 1 Corinthians. However, there is a striking contrast presented in the writings...

The mercy seat, as depicted in the Scriptures, holds a central place in the worship of the Israelites and remains a profound symbol for understanding the relationship between God and humanity. In the construction of the Tabernacle, the mercy seat was placed atop the Ark of the Covenant, a golden cover over the sacred chest containing the tablets of the Law, Aaron’s rod, and a pot of manna. This position signifies its importance, both as a physical object in the worship of Israel and as a spiritual symbol pointing to the divine nature of God’s interaction with His people.

The Holy Spirit is not merely an impersonal force or an abstract concept but the third person of the Trinity, fully and truly God. Scripture consistently reveals the Holy Spirit’s divine attributes, His role in creation, salvation, and sanctification, and His identification as God. Understanding the Holy Spirit as God is foundational to the Christian faith, and the biblical evidence is clear: the Holy Spirit is to be worshipped, honored, and revered as the true and living God. One

I am excited! There are few subjects that get debated as often as does that of repentance. Christians, even those who claim to be of like faith and practice (I mean independent, fundamental Baptists) split hairs and churches over it. The word repentance, in one form or the other, is found one hundred twelve times in the Bible. That’s plenty of material to discover what God has to say on the subject. This book is an attempt to do just that. If you are looking for me to give you all the answers on the doctrine of repentance, I am afraid you will be disappointed. I have my opinions, ...

Delve into a verse by verse study of the book of Romans from a prophetic perspective. An expositional study (verse by verse, chapter by chapter) of the book of Romans gives the reader access to a level of narrative and inspiration than the more common topical study.

This resource will serve you well as a devotional tool that will deepen your love of God's word and draw you out into the rarified atmosphere of revelatory study of the scripture.

Royal Priesthood Restored Uncover the Covenant. Rediscover Your Calling. Before Israel fell at Sinai, they were called to be a kingdom of priests—a holy nation in covenant with YHWH.

This book reveals: The clear distinction between the Book of the Covenant and the Book of the Law Why Messiah Yeshua fulfilled the law without abolishing it How Paul’s writings make sense when Torah is rightly divided The restoration of the royal ...

Born again are two words that instill political images during elections and spark debate among theologians. Neither matters. The true meaning of born again is higher and deeper than most understand. Even Christians. When the works of Jesus that the Church is supposed to demonstrate aren't present to serve people's needs, people turn to the values and wisdom of their culture to meet those needs. Today humanism has so overcome the Church, Christians don't expect miracles to be commonplace. But to God they are not supernatural. They are the way His kingdom functions; they are life done right, ...
