Download or read book Foundations of the Cross and Other Bible Stories written by Cynthia Erlandson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-07-05 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Paul speaks of the apostles and prophets as being the “foundation of the household of God,” and of Jesus as the “chief cornerstone” of that household. He also speaks of a “mystery which has been hidden . . . but now has been revealed to his saints.” According to Jesus himself, the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms all foreshadowed him. After Jesus’ ascension, St. Peter declared that “all the prophets . . . have also foretold these days.” Where has this great mystery been hidden, and revealed? Is the Old Testament actually about Jesus? And how does the New Testament show us that the Scripture has been fulfilled in him? Through poems that insightfully connect biblical characters and events to each other, Foundations of the Cross and Other Bible Stories further opens the reader’s mind to the unity of the Bible, all of which proclaims Jesus Christ.

Download or read book What Happened on the Cross written by Nick Peros and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Happened on the Cross offers a new and biblical understanding of how salvation was accomplished upon the cross, showing that the Penal Substitution view, common since the 1500s, does not have a biblical basis, and also showing that the Christus Victor understanding is inadequate. The book is founded upon the understanding that Jesus Christ is the Second Adam, and that is the foundation of how we are to understand how salvation was accomplished. Both the shedding of blood and death were essential in the accomplishment of salvation, and What Happened on the Cross shows why these were essential. Using over 740 Scripture verses to make its argument, the book gives a comprehensive picture from Genesis to Revelation of the many aspects involved in the accomplishment of salvation--above all showing clearly that the cross had nothing to do with "punishment for sins"--our sins were never punished upon the cross, rather, our sins were forgiven. Understanding how salvation was accomplished upon the cross, and that it was about forgiveness, not punishment, both exalts God and his greatness, demonstrates his perfect love and justice, as well as liberates our hearts towards him.

In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God.

Download or read book The Amazing Cross written by Elizabeth McQuoid and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross of Christ is the heartbeat of Christianity. It is a place of pain and horror, wonder and beauty, all at the same time. It is the place where our sin collided gloriously with God's grace. But do we really understand what the cross is all about? Or are we so caught up in the peripherals of the faith that we have forgotten the core? We need to ask ourselves: How deep an impact has the cross made on my personality? Do I live in the light of the freedom it has won for me? Am I dying to myself every day, so that I can live for Christ? Do I face suffering with faith and assurance? Can I face death in the light of the hope of the resurrection? The authors present us with a contemporary challenge to place all of our lives, every thought, word and deed, under the shadow of the amazing cross, and allow that cross to transform us here and now.
Download or read book The Cross and Salvation Hardcover written by Bruce Demarest and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With America's confidence in the Bible at an all-time low and the strength of her spiritual convictions waning, it is essential for Christians—especially Christian leaders—to be well-grounded in biblical theology. To have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key doctrines of evangelicalism. In response, professor and award-winning author Bruce Demarest has made plain God's glorious plan of salvation, his provision for the human dilemma through Christ's work on the cross, and the application of saving grace to unbelievers. Demarest's unique approach defines each topic, identifies its most pressing issues, examines the ways in which the doctrine has been understood historically, and interprets the Bible's revelation. The result is a clear and carefully constructed doctrinal statement that you can defend, live out, and communicate to others. This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross— and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration. It's perfect for clarifying your theology and gaining deep understanding of this foundational theme. Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.
