This book is about salvation by God’s grace. If you were to ask the average Christian if he believed in salvation by grace, most would respond with an emphatic, “Yes.” I know, because I have asked people from many Christian faiths, and each response has been in the affirmative. Why wouldn’t it be?

Have you ever encountered a Christian whose representation of God struck you as – cruel? In all likelihood, that Christian was Reformed. Christian thought is varied, but among those Christians who take their Bibles seriously, there are two main threads of Christian thought. One is the Calvinist (also called Reformed) camp. It is named after John Calvin, a 16th century French theologian. The other camp is the Arminian camp, named after Jacobus Arminius, a Dutch theologian who lived shortly after Calvin. Christians have been arguing over these two competing views for centuries. Often, non-...

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 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.

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...

In this present age, God’s judgment manifests in various forms of correction and discipline. These are intended to address sin, foster repentance, and encourage holiness among His people. The New Testament provides numerous examples of this corrective judgment. One of the most striking examples is found in the account of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5. This couple lied to the Holy Spirit about the proceeds of a land sale, and as a result, they were struck dead. This severe judgment served as a powerful warning to the early Church about the seriousness of sin within the body of Christ. It ...

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.

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 ...

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." ...

If you are believer, this title will provide you with a ...

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 ...
