What is authentic faith? The Gospel According to Jesus challenges Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, "What does it really mean to be saved?" He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that...

Jesus's resurrection happened centuries ago, but evidence shows it is at the center of everything that is true, good, and beautiful today. These 3 attributes—or transcendentals—provide a simple framework for understanding reality, including Christ's victory over death and why it matters for your life.

In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes.

In diesem Buch erfahren Sie von Menschen, die jahrelang krank waren, die gebeutelt waren von Leid und oft von schlimmen Lebensproblemen, die an Depressionen, Ängsten und in der Folge oft an organischen Krankheiten litten und durch die spirituelle Seelen- oder Hypnosetherapie in der Tiefe ihrer Seele, mit der Quelle des liebenden Geistes GOTTES, mit Jesus, mit der GOTTESMUTTER Maria und/oder mit SEINEN himmlischen Helfern, den Engeln, in Kontakt gekommen sind.

What did Augustine really teach about grace, free will, and predestination? As the Pelagian controversy intensified, Augustine’s response became deeper, sharper, and more theologically daring. In this volume, you will discover: Augustine’s exploration of marriage, concupiscence, and the transmission of original sin A careful discussion of how divine grace and human free will work together Augustine’s direct response to Pelagian critics attacking his teaching on grace His mature reflections on predestination and why some believers persevere Two of Augustine’s most influential ...

The Gospel is not a feeling. It is a Forensic Fact established by Prophecy and History. In a religious landscape cluttered with traditions, confusion, and contradictory claims, where can we find the singular definition of the Gospel? The answer is found in the precise legal testimony of the King James Bible: Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). In The Gospel, author David Michael Curtis strips away centuries of institutional dogma to present a rigorous, forensic ...

The cross of Jesus Christ is central because it is where God dealt with sin, revealed His love, defeated Satan’s claim, and opened the way for sinners to be reconciled to Himself. The cross shows the seriousness of sin. Sin is not a small flaw or weakness. It is rebellion against a holy God, and its wages are death. Scripture says, “the wages of sin is death” and “without shedding of blood is no remission” (Romans 6:23; Hebrews 9:22). The death of Christ shows that forgiveness is not cheap. God did not overlook sin; He judged it in the sacrifice of His Son. The cross also reveals ...

Far more happened to us on the cross than we realize! Righteousness: It’s so much more than a call to holy living or a theological notion. What you discover about this truth will alter your reality and revolutionize your walk with God.

Repentance is not optional. It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner will be saved except the repenting sinner, and he will not break his own law. No one can willfully continue in sin and expect to be covered by the blood of Christ. Even if all the angels stood before God and begged for the life of an unrepenting person, God would not grant it.

When we see the fallenness of the world, it is often challenging to understand how sinners can stand before a holy God, but the gospel gives hope―justification that comes through Jesus Christ. This doctrine is essential to the gospel but has sparked countless academic and theological disagreements throughout church history, even contributing to the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century.

As Christians, we often ask what the gospel is, when we should be asking why it is. Matthew W. Bates has previously demonstrated that the “good news” of the gospel is that Jesus is King. But in his latest book, he explores God’s intentions: why has God issued this royal proclamation? And what role can it play in our everyday lives? As Bates observes, we find the answer in a simple but challenging realization: “I am a horrible king of my own life."

Christian universalism has been hotly debated in recent years—but many people may not realize just how much diversity there is under that umbrella term. In Christ Saves All, the various contributors explore differing ways of holding to the idea that God, as revealed in Jesus, has set out to save everyone...

How can God choose to save some and eternally punish others? What about my loved ones who are not believers? For many, contemplating predestination brings about fear, trepidation, controversy, and emotional exhaustion, making it a difficult topic to study―let alone view as a blessing. This addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series carefully examines God’s word to answer 15 commonly asked questions regarding the doctrines of election and reprobation.

What does the Bible teach about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit? What do angels, Satan and demons have to do with reality? What place should the Bible or church have in my life? Perhaps you think you know what others are telling you to believe, but deep down inside you do wonder, “What is really important to my own faith?” If so, you need to know…a Christian’s faith must be grounded in truth!

I want to tell you what perhaps the greatest Christian who ever lived (the apostle Paul) thought of the cross of Christ. Believe me, the cross is of deepest importance. This is no mere question of controversy; this is not one of those points on which people may agree to differ and feel that differences will not shut them out of heaven. A person must be right on this subject, or he is lost forever. Heaven or hell, happiness or misery, life or death, blessing or cursing in the last day - all hinges on the answer to this question: What do you think about the cross of Christ?

The Saving Work of Christ, the second volume in the series Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, covers all the major events in God’s dispensation in the flesh, from the Birth of Christ to the Day of Pentecost.

God is faithful! His word has not failed! These are the foundation-laying, faith-building, and heart-warming words that the Apostle Paul gave to us in Romans 9. Poetically written, symmetrically presented, structurally solid, and spoken with deep emotion, Romans 9 presents Paul’s masterful answer to his objectors who cried—how can you say that Jesus is Israel’s Messiah when so many of our people do not believe? He answered, God is faithful. His word has not failed. Let me show you how. But the beauty of Romans 9 has been lost. It has been lost in a controversy over its meaning as ...
