Bible Salvation

What follows is not a translation in the ordinary sense of the word. It’s more like a paraphrase. Rather than worry over the letter of the text, the goal has been to illuminate the large scale patterns that structure it. The King James Version, for instance, renders Paul’s letter with uncanny beauty but is opaque as an argument. Modern translations tend to have the same problem. Their overriding concern is with the letter of the text, not with its logic. As a result, Paul’s forest is always getting sacrificed for the sake of his trees. But Paul’s work is too important, his good news...

In fact, if you have Kindle Unlimited, just read this in half an hour or less. That said, because of this hidden partition, it further clarifies some controversial aspects of Romans: Who can be spiritual Jews? What does Romans 9 really means and does it have anything to do with Calvinism? Is Romans 13 really about the government? If you are interested in answering those questions and more, this is a succinct and compact guide. The book...

Nearly everyone wants to go to heaven when they die. Nearly everyone assumes they will go there. And yet the Bible paints a picture of the "road that leads to eternal life" being found and traveled by few.

Whitney guides us carefully and patiently through the Bible's teachings on salvation and eternal life - steering us clear of misplaced confidence and pointing us always toward Christ, our hope.

This audiobook combines a serious examination of the state of today's church and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in the confessional truths of the Reformation. Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of success - big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches - these are not good days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from their non-Christian neighbors - all because the gospel of grace has been neglected.

God has completely finished REDEMPION for the entire human race – in His Son. But the human race must repent and believe – the human race must enter into redemption by becoming those who are IN CHRIST. If we do, then we can discover Him. We can discover the fullness of God IN HIM, and experience the fullness of redemption IN HIM. Redemption is not merely a matter of getting saved. Rather, it is the restoration of humanity back into relationship with God – and therefore the restoration of humanity back into the eternal plan and purpose of God through Jesus Christ. And it is also the ...

This text has been written as a way for this author to cope with the stay-at-home orders that have been put into place for the currently ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But that does not take away from the topics that have been discussed. It has actually given this author the opportunity to write one more book about the two things that are most important in this existence. The first is becoming a Christian or getting saved. The second is living the life that the Lord wants the saved individual to live. It is believed that sharing the gospel with others and encouraging them to get saved, too, ...

Frank Peretti is the ever-witty character Mr. Henry, telling some of the most popular and beloved stories from the Bible in his own unique style. Combining imaginative storytelling and absolute truth, Salvation follows Jesus through his last days on Earth, from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and his stand before Pilate to Peter's denial and Jesus' appearance with Mary and the Disciples after the resurrection.

In this book, H.K. Holland takes the old questions and freshly analyzes and answers them. Some of these questions include: -Is the Bible from God? -How do people become Christians? -Where do people go when they die? -Did God really love Jacob and hate Esau? -Is Jesus the Son of God? -Is repentance just blabbering words you hear from a preacher? -Is baptism really necessary? -Is it bad if people don't believe in Jesus? -Does the Holy Spirit talk? And other questions.

This little book is sent forth with the earnest prayer that God may make it a blessing to all who are longing for a better apprehension of Christ and what he may be to them. There is no claim made in it to literary excellence; if any one should read it in search of this, he will find much in it to criticise. This is not in any sense a discussion. I have no contention with the brother who may differ with me; I only long to exalt Christ. The words were first spoken with a desire that they might be used of God to lead some one into closer fellowship with our Lord, and, now that they are to be ...

Folks today are much too busy! We haven't time for the necessary things because we are so busy being sidetracked by secondary things. Many Christians in this state of affairs find it useful to read daily devotional booklets. These consist of brief articles, two or three paragraphs, which highlight one basic point of the Bible. They do allow for brevity, but they do not allow for adequate spiritual nourishment. This book is an attempt to bridge this gap. The book consists of 213 pages and 90 articles, each one serving as a daily spiritual vitamin supplement. Unlike the brief daily devotional...
