Download or read book God s Glory in Salvation through Judgment written by James M. Hamilton Jr. and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God's glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: God's glory in salvation through judgment. Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that Israel was saved through God's judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the ultimate display of God's glory in justice and mercy, as it was God's righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. God's glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on his name. Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volume's systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for pastors, professors, and students.

Download or read book The Righteous Judgment of God written by John Richard Coulson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to fill a gap on the important topic of God's judgment. It is written for Christians who desire to have a biblical worldview that helps them to live faithfully for Jesus Christ. It investigates what the apostle Paul has to say in his letters about God's judgment. The worldview that emerges is one that must not be ignored: of judgment as fundamental to our human life as Adam's descendants, of God's judgment at work in the world today, and of the final judgment as the certain future for every person. At the center is the decisive judgment of our sin in Christ at the cross, which is God's answer to our judgment problem. For each of these four aspects of judgment, key questions are considered, with the central question being, "How do we live in the light of this truth?"

Download or read book Sovereignty of God written by Chris Cree and published by SuccessCREEations, LLC. This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does God control everything that happens on the earth today? Most Christians believe He does. They believe God makes arbitrary decisions in the affairs of men. This idea that God is in control, often referred to as the sovereignty of God, creates significant challenges for believers today. It kills intimacy with God, causes confusion, and creates a victimhood mindset in followers of Jesus. Fortunately it’s not true. God is not controlling everything that happens today. He is not responsible for all the evil in our world. This short read exposes the Biblical truth of the matter, explains some of the problems this false idea of God creates in the lives of believers, and empowers the reader to experience God far more intimately as His children and heirs to His Kingdom.
Download or read book God and the Pandemic written by TOM WRIGHT and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Superbly written, utterly Bible based. . . Do not hesitate!’ Archbishop Justin Welby What are we supposed to think about the coronavirus crisis? Some people think they know: ‘This is a sign of the End,’ they say. ‘It’s all predicted in the book of Revelation.’ Others disagree but are equally clear: ‘This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he’s telling us to change.’ Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: ‘It’s the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization...' Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he invites you to consider a different way of seeing and responding – a way that draws on the teachings and examples of scripture, and above all on the way of living, thinking and praying revealed to us by Jesus.

Download or read book Redemptive Reversals and the Ironic Overturning of Human Wisdom written by Gregory K. Beale and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” –Matthew 19:30 The Bible is full of ironic situations in which God overturns the world’s wisdom by doing the opposite of what is expected—people are punished by their own sin, the persecution of the church is the catalyst for its growth, Paul claims to have strength through weakness, and more. In this book, biblical scholar G. K. Beale explores God’s pattern of divine irony in both judgment and salvation, finding its greatest expression in Jesus’s triumph over death through death on a cross. Unpacking this pattern throughout redemptive history, Beale shows us how God often uses what is seemingly weak and foolish to underscore his own strength and power in the lives of his people today.

Download or read book Rejecting Mammon written by Chris Cree and published by SuccessCREEations, LLC. This book was released on 2020-01-26 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a follower of Jesus who knows the Bible says you are supposed to be prosperous but feel stuck at just enough, just in time, survival provision (or less) which is causing stress, worry, and strained relationships in your life... Then this book is for you. Many believers don't know how to prosper financially in the Kingdom of God. They give, but rarely, if ever, see increase. They see where Jesus said give and it will be given back to you. But it isn't working for them in the area of their finances. They sow financial seed, but don't know how to harvest. God's ways are higher than the world's ways. And His ways are almost exactly backwards from the world's ways too. In the world’s way of doing things, the strong dominate the weak, and the rich oppress the poor. But the Kingdom of God is different. In the Kingdom of God, the strong defend the weak, and the wealthy bless the poor. God's Kingdom is designed so that everyone can prosper. God truly does have answers to all our questions, even the tough ones about money. God's grace has made perfect provision for our every need. His Kingdom provides ways for us to prosper in every area of our lives, including financially. It is God’s desire that you become a financial resource for His Kingdom. But you cannot give away what you don’t yet have. Therefore we must leave the world’s ways of prospering financially behind and start walking in God’s ways instead.

Download or read book People to Be Loved written by Preston Sprinkle and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians who are confused by the homosexuality debate raging in the US are looking for resources that are based solidly on a deep study of what Scripture says about the issue. In People to Be Loved, Preston Sprinkle challenges those on all sides of the debate to consider what the Bible says and how we should approach the topic of homosexuality in light of it. In a manner that appeals to a scholarly and lay-audience alike, Preston takes on difficult questions such as how should the church treat people struggling with same-sex attraction? Is same-sex attraction a product of biological or societal factors or both? How should the church think about larger cultural issues, such as gay marriage, gay pride, and whether intolerance over LGBT amounts to racism? How (or if) Christians should do business with LGBT persons and supportive companies? Simply saying that the Bible condemns homosexuality is not accurate, nor is it enough to end the debate. Those holding a traditional view still struggle to reconcile the Bible’s prohibition of same-sex attraction with the message of radical, unconditional grace. This book meets that need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding God's Righteousness through His Final Judgment of Sin The reality of God's ultimate punishment is central to the gospel. Only by facing sin's devastation can believers fully grasp the beauty of their salvation and help unbelievers confront their need for forgiveness. Unfortunately, many Christians and Bible scholars neglect God's final judgment. In his book The Justice and Goodness of God, theologian Thomas Schreiner offers a comprehensive, biblical analysis of eternal destruction. Explaining that "final judgment doesn't contradict God's goodness but verifies and displays it," he examines themes of sin, death, and redemption in the New Testament and other passages of Scripture. With helpful personal and theological application, this brief guide helps readers see how God's judgment is anchored in his holiness, justice, and righteousness. Readers will see that God's judgment isn't bad news but good news. Life doesn't make sense without it, and salvation shines brighter against the backdrop of God's judgment. Brief yet Insightful: Examines themes of sin, death, mercy, and holiness, with helpful Scripture references and summaries in each chapter Rich Biblical Analysis: Studies eternal destruction as described in the Gospels, the Pauline Epistles, and throughout Scripture Ideal for College and Seminary Students
