Download or read book Shall Never Perish Forever written by Dennis M. Rokser and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have put your trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work alone to save you, is your salvation eternal and secure? Or can eternal life be lost, given back, or forfeited? Are believers in Christ on divine probation with their destiny uncertain, or will God's grace and power keep them saved forever? These are the crucial questions which SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER asks and answers from the Bible in clear and concise terms. The book contains 32 chapters of varying length, consisting of 5 major sections: (1) "Identifying the Issues" of what eternal security does and does not teach; (2) persuasive "Scriptural Support" for this controversial but crucial teaching; (3) a thorough explanation regarding the "Absolute Assurance" of eternal salvation and why some people don't have it and reject eternal security; (4) a warning of the serious "Consequences of Carnality" in a believer's life and how to have assurance and victory in Christ; and (5) "Probing the Perplexing Passages" that are used by some to deny eternal security (over 40 passages are analyzed and answered). SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER is not a boring book of dry theology but is written from a pastor's heart while interacting with the text of Scripture, using down-home illustrations, tackling perplexing passages, utilizing helpful charts, and making practical applications and appeals to the reader. SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER has strong endorsements from leaders of several evangelical ministries. If you are unsure of your eternal salvation and want to know with certainty that you are going to Heaven when you die, or if you are a relatively new believer in Jesus Christ as Savior and need to become established in the faith, or if you've been a carnal Christian and want to find your way back to fellowship with God, or if you have struggled with life-long addictions and need a firm foundation for assurance and practical victory, or if you have known and grown in Christ for a number of years and need further encouragement and edification, SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER will greatly help you by clearly and faithfully explaining God's Word on this crucial subject.

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.

Download or read book and They Shall Never Perish written by Susan Kay Carpenter and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dearly beloved believer, are you bound by the fear of death, not certain you'll be accepted by God? Do you believe He is keeping track of all your sins on His eternal "chalkboard"? Sadly, many believers live in fear, falsely believing they can lose the salvation they so freely received as a GIFT. If there are conditions placed upon a gift, it is not a gift but a loan or payment. A gift has NO stipulations put upon it and God gave salvation as a gift. He is no longer keeping track of your sins on that imagined chalk board. He has broken it in a million pieces. It no longer exists! There's been a change in covenants, my friend! We are no longer under law, but under grace, God's unmerited favor in Christ. God sent His Son, Jesus, to be our Substitute and Deliverer from condemnation. Jesus, the "Lamb of God," took upon Himself all God's wrath against sin once and for all time. His purpose was "that through death He might destroy him who HAD the power of death, that is the devil, and (Catch this now!) deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Heb. 2:14-15). How could you be delivered from the fear of death IF you could lose your salvation? You could never be free of that bondage. But you ARE free, beloved. If you have received Jesus by faith in His shed blood on your behalf, you are totally forgiven, forever and unconditionally! The Judge Himself, your heavenly Father, has justly declared you righteous, a "new creation in Christ Jesus." Give me the chance to convince you that you cannot lose the gift of God. Jesus is the Guarantee! Enter into that promised rest God promises all who are His. We received salvation by God's grace. We didn't earn it. We don't deserve it. We do not have to struggle to maintain it. No! Jesus, our Good Shepherd, keeps His sheep safe and secure. We are kept, protected, and deeply loved because we are IN Christ. There is no merit involved. It is "by grace through faith"!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is the most important possession we have. Without it, there is nothing. Only by the resurrection at the second coming of Christ will anyone have life after death. After the resurrection, the fate of those who are in Christ: [1] Eternal life [Romans 6:23] [2]"Shall inherit eternal life" [Matthew 19:29] [3] After the judgment they "shall go away into eternal life" [Matthew 25:46] [4] Will "have eternal life" [John 3:5] [5] Christ will raise them up on the last day [John 6:40] [6] Will be immortal after the resurrection [1 Corinthians 15:51 56] [7] Will have incorruption [1 Corinthians 15:42] [8] Will have glory [1 Corinthians 15:43] [9] Will be like Christ "We shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is" [1 John 3:2] [10] Are "heirs according to the hope of eternal life" [Titus 3:7] [11] Will have a spiritual body [1 Corinthians 15:44] [12] "And as we have borne the image of the earthly (The earthly flesh and blood body of Adam was made to live on this earth but it "cannot inherit the kingdom of God" 1 Corinthians 15:50), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (Shall be like the spiritual body of Christ for life in Heaven) [1 Corinthians 15:47 56] [13] "Will never perish" [John 10:28] [14] Forever with the Lord [1 Thessalonians 4:17] [15] Many mansions in my father's house: "In my Father's house (Who is in Heaven, Matthew 5:16; 5:45; 5:48; 6:1; 6:9; 7:21; 10:32 33) are many mansions...I go to prepare a place for you."

Download or read book Next Door Savior written by Max Lucado and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We applaud men for doing good things. We enshrine God for doing great things. But what about a man who does God things? One thing is certain. We can't ignore him. If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God. The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity's best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him. Dismiss him? We can't. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to? Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus? Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.

Download or read book Rethinking Hell written by Christopher Date and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Download or read book Providence written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New from Best-Selling Author John Piper From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is "God's purposeful sovereignty." Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world. Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God's providence—from Genesis to Revelation—to discover the allencompassing reality of God's purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God's mission in this world.

Download or read book Secure Forever written by Robert Metevia and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a must read for anyone seeking the assurance and peace of mind that their salvation, once received, is forever and can never be lost. It is also a must read for those who want to defend this precious doctrine and pass along to fellow believers the truth that will set them free. No longer will it be necessary to walk on egg shells, trying to keep what only God can keep. This book will enlighten the understanding of its readers to see the truth that their new position in Christ is absolutely perfect before God, while their practice is flawed. It will also reveal that God's work of justification declares them righteous forever, while His work of sanctification makes them righteous in their behavior. A number of other theological distinctions will be made to help the readers understand the permanency of their salvation, such as: the differences between salvation faith and service faith, innate knowledge and head knowledge, sinner and saint, the believer's relationship with God and his fellowship with God, judicial forgiveness and parental forgiveness, and a distinction between the words faith of Christ and faith in Christ. This book will also reveal the warfare that goes on in the minds of believers, preventing them from going for broke and trusting in Christ and Christ alone for their salvation. To trust in Christ plus one's own ability to maintain a certain level of faith is not to trust in Christ alone do complete what He has started but to trust in Christ plus human effort. The truth of once saved always saved will motivate believers to serve God, not out of a fear of losing their salvation, but out of gratitude that they are kept by God's power to serve others and can never be lost.

Download or read book The Blackness of Utter Darkness written by M. Franklin Vance and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What most people believe about hell is rooted in ancient legends as found in pagan religions and Greek mythology. The Blackness Of Utter Darkness compares the legend with the truth of Scripture. The legend says that man is immortal. Scripture says that immortality is conditional. The legend says the wicked suffer torment forever. Scripture says the wicked will perish. The legend says that good deeds must exceed bad deeds to avoid eternal torment. Scripture says that only those in Christ have eternal life. The Blackness Of Utter Darkness separates myth from reality regarding life, death, and the afterlife and is a must read for all who have been confused about the traditional view of hell as portrayed by Dantes Inferno.
