Election Untangled: Chosen for the Gospel, Not for Salvation Few doctrines in Scripture have been more hotly debated—and more misunderstood—than the doctrine of election. For centuries, Christians have asked: Who does God choose? Does election mean only some can be saved? Is salvation restricted to the “elect”? These questions have divided churches, sparked controversy, and caused confusion for believers seeking clear biblical answers. In Election Untangled, Pastor Marvin McKenzie takes readers on a journey from Genesis to Revelation to uncover what the Bible really teaches about ...

We’ve all felt the weight of shame and brokenness. We long for a fresh start, but what we need most is the ability to see ourselves through God’s eyes of grace. New York City pastor Chris Durso believes grace is the central message of all Scripture. While there have been some daring heists and cunning capers throughout history, this book is about the greatest heist the world has ever seen...a daring raid where God’s son took back what the enemy had stolen, freeing us from the power of shame, sin, and Satan.

Isaiah 14:12, with its phrase hêlēl ben-šāḥar (“shining one, son of dawn”), originally referred to the King of Babylon in the form of a prophetic taunt-song (Isa. 14:4). The image of the morning star (Venus) mocked the arrogant ruler who exalted himself as divine but was cast down to Sheol. In Jewish interpretation, the passage was seen as satire of a human king, not a story about Satan. Early Christian writers, however, such as Tertullian, Origen, and Cyprian (2nd–3rd centuries), were the first to apply the verse allegorically to Satan’s fall. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate (4th ...

John Wesley was a man of God who was soaked in the oil of heaven. He helped to spark revival in America and across Europe with his unorthodox style of outdoor preaching. His sermon Salvation by Faith is an important piece of literature that is filled with truth and grace. It is straightforward and is a famous sermon of Wesley's. It is my prayer that this book influences you to receive all that God desires for you, and that you would be edified and encouraged to pursue Christ in holiness and humble devotion.

Ditching the Checklist was written to help Evangelicals and other Christians who, due to grounding the assurance of their salvation in evidences of their new birth instead of Christ alone, struggle over whether or not they are saved. Evangelical leader J. D. Greear describes anxiety over whether or not one is saved as a major problem among Evangelicals. With ample testimony from Scripture and appealing to the thinking of Luther, this booklet addresses this anxiety head on.

For too long, members of the lord's church have begun conversations about salvation with, "You need to...." Certainly there are things man must do to receive god's gift of salvation, but I think we need to start the conversation with "god". Therefore, this book explains how and why god provides grace and then what man must do to receive it.

God has provided believers with His baseline truth. Everything else we read in Scripture can be compared to the baseline truth to provide us with the certainty of whether or not we are correctly interpreting what we read. This baseline of truth forms a foundation. The foundation supports and sustains all that is built on it! The writer of the Book of Hebrews identified a foundation for New Covenant Faith. These seven doctrines provide the basis for faith that is unshakable and immovable. They also provide a spiritual GPS that ensures we will never “run off the rails” with strange ...

We are living in an extraordinary time: a Time of Mercy. But what is mercy? What does it mean to be living in a Time of Mercy? How can we receive God’s Mercy? And how should we respond? In Doors of Mercy, authors Fr. Jeffrey Kirby and Brian Kennelly answer these important questions. They act as your tour guides on a whirlwind tour of salvation history, from Adam and Eve to the coming of the Savior, and into the present day with the beautiful story of St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy message and devotion.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ: The Power of God Revealed walks readers through the seven unshakable pillars of biblical truth that make up the only message that saves. With rich theological depth, biblical exegesis, and unflinching clarity, Dawn J. Douglas exposes false gospels and re-centers the reader on the holiness of God, the sinfulness of humanity, the sufficiency of Christ, and the power of salvation by grace through faith. ...

Hypocrisy replaces virtue when men cover their sins rather than confess them to God. This is all too common when men do not preach and practice a Biblical doctrine of confession. The challenge is first to restore the meaning of confession as taught in the Scriptures. As long as confession is seen as a Romanist doctrine, we have no hope of recovering this vital aspect of Christianity. In this path-breaking volume, R. J. Rushdoony examines the Biblical teaching on confession and sets it over against the errors of Romanism and the neo-Freudianism of modern Christian counseling.

With clarity, understanding, and insight, Coulter presents the subject of holiness from a perspective that motivates rather than intimidates the reader. An understanding of holiness is essential to our relationship with God and foundational to our call as Christians to make disciples. Throughout the book, he helps the reader grasp the multiple aspects of the truth concerning holiness. To rekindle a passion for holiness, we must engage in the, sometimes strenuous, task of doing good theology. Coulter does the hard work of developing a sound theology of holiness to help Christians cultivate ...

Jesus Christ's designation as High Priest after the order of Melchizedek is a cornerstone of Christian theology, representing the fulfillment of divine promises and the inauguration of a new covenant between God and humanity. To understand Jesus as High Priest, it is essential to look back at Melchizedek, a figure who appears briefly in the Old Testament yet holds profound significance in the understanding of priesthood and kingship. Melchizedek’s unique role in the Bible foreshadows Jesus’ ministry and His ultimate role as the eternal mediator between God and humankind. Unlike the ...

Is being good the way to heaven? Being religious? Jesus said, “You must be born again.” John Wesley, spiritual forefather of Methodist, Pentecostal, and Holiness churches and the Salvation Army, explains Jesus’ words in this brief classic. One of the standard sermons Wesley required his circuit riders to learn and re-preach, The New Birth shows that religion and morality are good but new life in Jesus is vital. Wesley pulls no punches. But his 18th-century English is hard for most modern readers. As with his best-selling John Wesley’s The Character of a Methodist, David Wentz has ...

What if salvation isn’t limited to the elect? In Hope Beyond the Elect, Jonathan Ramachandran offers a bold, thought-provoking exploration of a long-overlooked question in biblical theology: Is there any hope of salvation for those not among the elect? Written for everyday churchgoers, this accessible volume simplifies and condenses scholarly research while remaining faithful to the conservative, early Christian view known as Chiliasm—the belief in a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ. Drawing from Scripture and quotes from early Church Fathers such as Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and ...

In this work, John Bunyan addresses the issue of imputation in great detail. The imputed righteousness of Christ was of the highest importance to him, as the only way of salvation. He opposed any manifestation of self-righteousness among Christians, any any claim of justification built thereon.

The purpose of this audiobook is to make the way of salvation as plain as day to men, women, and children, with the expectation that many of those who listen to the audiobook will see the way, will take it, will be saved at once, and will obtain eternal life. The audiobook goes out into the world for the same purpose that Jesus Christ came into it: To seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10 AKJV). Jesus Christ came to save sinners. Do you want Jesus to take an interest in you and save you? Then you must take your place before him as a sinner.

For many Christians, the answer has been assumed rather than examined. Popular Calvinistic theology has taught generations of believers that divine sovereignty means God ordains every event, every choice, and even every act of human wickedness—while somehow remaining untouched by evil. But is that what Scripture actually teaches? In this carefully argued and biblically grounded work, the author engages directly with the influential Calvinistic teachings of R. C. Sproul on providence, sovereignty, evil, and human freedom. Sproul’s views are presented fully and fairly in their own ...

The term “Ordo Salutis” is a Latin phrase meaning “the order of salvation.” The Ordo Salutis is a theological construct of what is believed to be a logical sequence of events in God’s work of saving a sinner and bringing that saved sinner to heaven. The Ordo Salutis as generally conceived begins with God’s choices concerning salvation. The Ordo Salutis I propose begins with God’s decision to create the universe and why he decided to create: to manifest his glory. That beginning affects the way the entire Ordo Salutis is viewed. The focus of this book is more than words, it is ...
