Biblical Salvation

L. Michael Morales examines the key elements of three major redemption movements in Scripture: the exodus out of Egypt, the second exodus foretold by the prophets, and the new exodus accomplished by Jesus Christ. We discover how the blood of a Passover lamb helps us grasp the significance of Jesus' death on the cross, how the Lord's defeat of Pharaoh foreshadowed Jesus' victory over Satan, how Israel's exodus out of Egypt unfolds the meaning of the resurrection, and much more.

Biblical salvation is God’s best gift to all mankind. Biblical salvation encapsulates all anyone will ever need. Being saved from sin that is being born again, as a result of God’s salvation, is the best thing that can ever happen to anyone. The good news is that God’s Salvation is by grace: God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. This gift is now receivable by anyone, through faith in Jesus Christ. It presents this indispensable provision from various angles; such that any unsaved person will see the need to be saved and receive this gift by faith. On the other hand, it also unveils ...

In 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation - including starships - virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now a step away from any other. And all seems wonderful - until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world 89 light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem....

What will the world look like in the last days? One significant clue the Bible offers is a fascinating look at New Babylon. More than one-tenth of the book of Revelation is devoted to prophecies about this city-the center of the antichrist's world government. But are we to understand these prophecies symbolically or literally? As you explore the Bible's prophecies about the last days, you'll discover that no matter how uncertain the future looks, you can have peace knowing that God is in full control of all things.

No matter what creation God enacted, no matter the created circumstances, a creation with beings with libertarian free-will will eventually behave in self-centered ways and with all of these beings behaving the same way there would always be strife and aggressive, harmful behaviors, always. Thus, to have any creation that is not filled with strife, creation must have a redemptive element. A violator of God’s law can be corrected and turned, but a natural-behaving self-centered creature cannot be turned because this is the way they are with no obligation to anyone or anything higher than ...

Does salvation hinge on divine decree or human choice? Are we puppets in a predetermined script, or does grace invite everyone to respond? For centuries, these questions have fueled some of the most passionate debates in Christian history. Some insist that God selects only a chosen few, while others hold fast to the belief that anyone can accept His grace. If you’ve ever wrestled with these ideas—or want to understand why so many do—this book is for you. This is not just another theology book. It’s a clear, compelling guide to Arminianism, the often-misunderstood perspective that ...

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...

★★★★★ "This Book Might Reshape Your Theology!" The author causes us to stop and consider who we really are in Christ. The very idea that “You are gods” sounds heretical to most people, yet that fact is woven throughout scripture. The natural mind cannot understand spiritual reality, as a result many will reject the message contained in this book. Much of what Mr. Steele talks about are hidden truths the Holy Spirit has been trying to teach me for over a half century...and most of his thoughts are documented in scripture. If you’re interested in stepping beyond the veil of ...

From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, Philip Yancey presents a complex character who generates questions as well as answers—a disturbing and exhilarating Jesus who wants to radically transform your life and stretch your faith. The Jesus I Never Knew will engage your heart, mind, emotions, and senses, preparing you for a new, life-changing encounter with the real Jesus described in the Gospels.

Jesus said people will know that we are Christians by our love. We need to remember that the church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. If I see you come into my church and I can tell you have been drinking or you are high, if you stink of sin, if you look beaten down from the vices that you have let rule your life then you need to know I will walk right up to you and hug you because you are right where you need to be. It took tremendous courage for you to walk through those doors. I know God must be doing a work in your life and I will do anything in my power to help ...

Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call demanding to know who TF I was without so much as a hello. I hung up on the prick. A second later a woman called apologizing for him and explaining that my father was in an accident. Problem is, I've never met the man. Not only do I not know him, but I have a half-brother to boot, who is insistent that I come at once. Hopefully, the prick isn't there when I arrive. That is if I go, I haven't decided yet.

Does anyone really want to forgive? Or admit that we need forgiveness? Whether we're giving or receiving, forgiveness is hard. It seems unfair. It feels unnatural. And as best-selling author and Pastor John MacArthur demonstrates, forgiveness apart from Christ is unnatural. It is only as we understand our need, Christ's power and example, and what it really means to love that we can embrace two of the most liberating acts of love: forgiving and being forgiven.

Fearful that God might not have chosen you for heaven? Wondering how God can judge people and send them to hell when He never gave them a chance to choose Him? You’re not alone. Calvinism, with its emphasis on God’s arbitrary will and predestination, has left many people anxious and confused about their spiritual standing before God. The solution is simple. Put those theology books aside and examine the Bible texts that teach how God “chooses” people for heaven. After receiving four degrees in theology, including a PhD in Systematic Theology, and engaging in numerous discussions ...

The doctrine of reprobation—that is, the eternal, unconditional decree of God for the non-elect—is frequently misconstrued in both pastoral and theological literature. In Reprobation and God's Sovereignty, Peter Sammons reintroduces this oft-misunderstood doctrine, revealing its relationship to divine sovereignty. With Romans 9 as a guiding text, Sammons presents a thoroughly researched defense of reprobation as an essential part in a Reformed theology that magnifies God and encourages believers to trust in him.

Until you understand Jesus was not simply a man who died, but the sovereign Son of God who offered His life for us, you cannot completely appreciate the spectacle of Calvary. The same being that provoked the angels to hide their faces and cover their feet out of respect in Isaiah 6 is the same being who descended to earth to put on swaddling clothes, a crown of thorns, and nails through His hands. The descent of the Son from heaven’s majesty to earth’s depravity displays the boundless depth of His love. And His love calls us to commit to follow him and his example. Just before beginning...

Zahra knew every detail of the plan. House of Wisdom, a massive exploration vessel, had been abandoned by the government of Earth a decade earlier, when a deadly virus broke out and killed everyone on board in a matter of hours. But now it could belong to her people if they were bold enough to take it. All they needed to do was kidnap Jaswinder Bhattacharya - the sole survivor of the tragedy, and the last person whose genetic signature would allow entry to the spaceship.
