Download or read book Salvation in the New Testament written by Jan G. van der Watt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salvation in the New Testament offers an analysis of the soteriological perspectives and language of the different books of the New Testament. Special attention is given to the imagery used in expressing soteriological ideas. Salvation deals with becoming part of the people of God. In Salvation in the New Testament special attention is given to the nature and power of the salvific language used in the New Testament to express the dynamics of salvation. Individual articles on the different books of the New Testament highlight the diverse perspectives offered in these documents. The emphasis especially falls on the different images and metaphors which were used to express the event and moment of salvation, rather than on the results (ethics or behaviour) of salvation. An overview of the different perspectives on soteriology in the New Testament offers the opportunity to compare similarities and differences in concepts and expressions. It also illustrates the dynamic interaction between historical situations and salvific language and expression.

Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.
Download or read book Salvation in Three Time Zones written by Dennis M. Rokser and published by . This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know what the Bible means by the terms "saved" and "salvation"? Have you been saved in the past from sin's penalty? Are you being saved in the present from sin's power? And do you know with certainty that you will be saved in the future from sin's very presence? SALVATION IN THREE TIME ZONES explains why God's free gift of salvation is one of the most wonderful and vital subjects in the entire Bible and why distinguishing between the three tenses of salvation is essential for every believer's personal assurance, spiritual growth, and correct and consistent interpretation of God's Word. This practical study shows from the Bible that God's grace guarantees the believer in Christ a past and future salvation, while also providing all that is necessary for salvation in the present. Many difficult passages dealing with salvation are explained and clarified. Three chapters at the end of the book cover "test passages" to determine which type and tense of salvation is being referred to (Matthew 24:13; 1 Corinthians 3:15; and James 2:14-26).

Download or read book Jesus in the Present Tense written by Warren W. Wiersbe and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus in the Present Tense, Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe explores the “I AM” statements of God—from His burning bush conversation with Moses, to His powerful reassurances to the Israelites, to Jesus’s startling claim to be the Light of the World. Many Christians find themselves mired in past regrets or future fears, but the name of God itself reminds readers that God wants them to live in the present. The more readers understand and apply God’s I AM statements from the Old and New Testaments, the more they will realize God’s peace and joy. Then they will be free to live, serve, and know God more richly in the present tense—which is just where He wants them to be.
Download or read book Salvation by Allegiance Alone written by Matthew W. Bates and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are saved by faith when we trust that Jesus died for our sins. This is the gospel, or so we are taught. But what is faith? And does this accurately summarize the gospel? Because faith is frequently misunderstood and the climax of the gospel misidentified, the gospel's full power remains untapped. While offering a fresh proposal for what faith means within a biblical theology of salvation, Matthew Bates presses the church toward a new precision: we are saved solely by allegiance to Jesus the king. Instead of faith alone, Christians must speak about salvation by allegiance alone. The book includes discussion questions for students, pastors, and church groups and a foreword by Scot McKnight.

Download or read book A Fourfold Salvation written by Arthur W. Pink and published by . This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salvation is of eternal importance yet it is very often misunderstood. In A Fourfold Salvation Author W. Pink addresses the subject of salvation by addressing; Salvation from the Pleasure of Sin, Salvation from the Penalty of Sin, Salvation from the Power of Sin, and Salvation from the Presence of Sin. "Ask the average Christian, Are you saved? and he answers, Yes, I was saved in such and such a year; and that is as far as his thoughts on the subject go. Ask him, To what do you owe your salvation? and "the finished work of Christ" is the sum of his reply. Tell him that each of those answers is seriously defective, and he strongly resents your aspersion." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death, ' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.
Download or read book Getting the Gospel Right A Balanced View of Salvation Truth written by Carl Gordon Olson and published by Global Gospel Publishers.

Book excerpt: A revised and abridged edition of Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism: An Inductive Mediate Theologyof Salvation, in Which theologian/missiologist Olson gives the fruit of a 25-year theological pilgrimage. His inductive focus on Scripture results in a middle view of salvation truth, thus resolving polarized extremes. This edition is much more readable and accessible for most Christians. The exegetical methodology emphasizes context, word studies, and grammar of all relevant passages, with extensive support for eternal security and refutation of deterministic concepts of salvation. In the foreword, Dr. Tim LaHaye refers to the incredible distribution of the academic edition, which sold out in 3 years. A revised academic edition is forthcoming in 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation is the most difficult book of the Bible to understand. However, it holds the key to unlock current events on earth. Learn how they will unfold just as the angel stated to Daniel that the prophecies will be revealed in the last days. Daniel 12:9 He [the angel] said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end." Revelation Explained answers the most difficult prophetic questions about the last days of the age we live in. Who is the Antichrist? What is Mystery Babylon? What is the Mark of the Beast? When is the Day of the Lord? Is the Rapture Mentioned in Revelation? Will Christians Go Through the Great Tribulation Period? What is the Sequence of Events in the Book of Revelation? The solutions found in Revelation Explained are derived from the original Old Testament prophecies brought forth to the end of the New Testament. The symbology of Revelation will be easier to interpret once we see this thread woven into a close-knit pattern throughout the Bible. This book will demystify Christ's final prophecies about the end-times. You will learn about the reasons for God's judgment upon the earth, along with many important characters such as the Beast, the False Prophet, and the Antichrist. After reading this book you will be able to recognize these symbols through their concealment.
