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 ...

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.

Comprehending the covenants in Scripture lays the foundation for structuring confessions of faith and rightly understanding how the various laws in the Bible relate to the covenant in which they were given and to people who were or are not in that given covenant. In this small book, the work of four brothers comes together to address the proper view of covenants, confessions of faith, and law; with Scripture as the ruling, controlling document.

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 ...

Chris Kugler presents a thorough exploration of "personal eschatology," addressing the complex theological and biblical questions about the eternal fate of human beings. While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought. Kugler contends that a nuanced picture is called for when one considers how theology uses the Bible to develop doctrine. He presents the problems, possibilities, and prospects of the three major views on personal eschatology: damnationism, annihilationism, and universalism.

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.

In the wake of the tyrannical shut-downs during the China (Wuhan) Virus, I felt inspired to write more poetry, and over a period of two and a half years collected enough original poems to produce Book Number 7 of my series, "Collected Poems for Various Occasions." The occasions in question here fall under the chapters titled, General Poems, Love and Romance, Bible, General Christian, and Last Things. I write in both rhymed verse and free verse and frequently use iambic pentameter to create my poems. These are designed to pick you up and encourage you, to stiffen your spine and make you ...

In "The Lord's Supper" Bishop Hayes presents a comprehensive study of the holy Sacrament. Both the Catholic and Reformed positions are examined and biblical solutions are given for the problems that exist in the mentioned theologies. The book answers important questions, like: "What is the Lord's supper?" Who may partake of the Lord's supper?" "Is the body and blood of Christ really present in the elements or do the elements actually change into the body and blood of Christ?" "How often should the Lord's Supper be observed?" These are but a few of the questions addressed in the book.Having ...

Grace is the defining feature of the Christian faith. Once we understand how undeserving we are and how much favor we’ve been given, grace becomes shocking, thrilling, inspiring, and contagious. Best-selling author and Pastor John MacArthur illuminates this profound concept with verse upon verse of Scripture. He also shows that misunderstandings about grace have led to some of the church’s greatest problems, perhaps because grace is her most precious gift.

From Genesis to Revelation, God’s grace is prominent. We have this Book only by God’s grace. The whole Bible is about God’s gracious pursuit of sinful man. In His grace, He gave us the truth to draw us to Himself and help us avoid brokenness and devastation and tragedy in our lives. God’s grace gave us this Book. God’s grace gave us this world. Look at what God has given us in His creation; the care, the detail is astonishing. He did not just give us taste; He gave us chocolate. He did not just give us sight; He gave us color. He did not just give us sound; He gave us music. God ...

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 ...

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 ...

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....

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.
