Download or read book Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart written by J. D. Greear and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

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.
Download or read book Jesus Words on Salvation written by Douglas J. Del Tondo and published by Infinity. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian attorney argues that Bonhoeffer was correct when he said we have developed a "Christianity without Christ" and exchanged Jesus' gospel of costly grace for one of "cheap grace." Del Tondo reviews all the major salvation statements and parables by Jesus. He then compares them to the prevalent doctrines of 'faith alone' which Bonhoeffer called 'cheap grace.' Del Tondo demonstrates that Jesus' doctrines on salvation insisted upon repentance from sin and obedience to His principles, thereby falsifying faith alone doctrine.

Then, like the poet once said, he was “touched by the Master's hand.” Where HATE had once been the driving force of his life, now LOVE ruled. The love of God changed Starr Daily; and as he learned to walk in that love, he changed his circumstances, the people around him, the prison institution, and the course of his life.Love Can Open Prison Doors does more than tell the story of how one man was changed by God's love. It opens the eyes of the reader to the limitless possibilities of what love can do.

Book excerpt: Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.

Download or read book Teachings of Jesus Christ written by Repsaj Jasper and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-06-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is perhaps the first book detailing the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on many key aspects of the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God, which had/have been concealed and not revealed as CORNERSTONE teachings of the gospel of salvation. The greatest consequence of this is the total contamination of the gospel of salvation while the true gospel or treasure has been hidden for centuries. The author has been discipled and led to write this book in the face of the full contamination of the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God, in order that believers may be revealed the true treasure so that they are able to understand the true gospel as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ. the Saviour of the world, when He was on the earth the first time. Only when believers understand and obey the truth of the gospel will they be set free from slavery to the sin. And only when those believers who are set free from slavery to the sin can they become sons of the God. And only sons of the God can remain in the kingdom of the God forever, meaning only sons of the God can receive everlasting life. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Road and the Truth and the Life. The Truth is the Word of the God. And in the New Testament days the main truth is the gospel of salvation. Therefore unless believers know(meaning understand) the truth concerning the gospel of salvation, how can they obey the truth of the gospel to receive everlasting life? And especially in the last days, unless believers know the truth of the gospel, how can they identify and reject false prophets, false teachers and false preachers who spread false gospel to lead them astray into everlasting fire? In view of the many different variations of translation and interpretation of the teachings of Paul, Peter, John and James regarding the gospel of salvation, it is imperative for believers to know and understand the CORNERSTONE teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God. There is a plethora of writings by "Christian authors and theologians and teachers" on the teachings of Paul on the gospel of salvation relating to the law and works and love and faith and obedience and perfection, etc. Many preachers and teachers of the Word of the God were/are confused themselves over such important issues. For believers to know the correct interpretation and translation of the teachings of the apostles and prophets on the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God, believers must know and understand the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God. The main topics taught by the Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in this Book are: -a) Everlasting life, b) Righteous & Righteousness, c) Kingdom of the heaven and kingdom of the God, d) Save/Saved, e) Salvation, f) Resurrections, g) Live/lived, h) Die or perish forever, i) Soul - lose, gain or save, j) Judgement based on works, k) The gospel of salvation.Readers are urged to test the content in this Book against the Unadulterated Word of the God(the original texts of the Holy Bible) to prove and/or to disprove its veracity.
Download or read book Teachings of Presidents of the Church Brigham Young written by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book was released on with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prophet Brigham Young taught the restored gospel of Jesus Christ in a basic, practical way that gave inspiration and hope to the Saints struggling to build a home in the wilderness. Though more than a century has now passed, his words are still fresh and appropriate for us today as we continue the work of building the kingdom of God. President Young declared that as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we possess the “doctrine of life and salvation for all the honest-in-heart” (DBY, 7). He promised that those who receive the gospel in their hearts will have awakened “within them a desire to know and understand the things of God more than they ever did before in their lives” and will begin to “inquire, read and search and when they go to their Father in the name of Jesus he will not leave them without a witness” (DBY, 450). This book reflects the desire of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to deepen the doctrinal understanding of Church members and to awaken within them a greater desire to know the things of God. It will inspire and motivate individuals, priesthood quorums, and Relief Society classes to inquire, read, search, and then go to their Father in Heaven for a witness of the truth of these teachings. Each chapter contains two sections—“Teachings of Brigham Young” and “Suggestions for Study.” The first section consists of extracts from Brigham Young’s sermons to the early Saints. Each statement has been referenced, and the original spelling and punctuation have been preserved; however, the sources cited will not be readily available to most members. These original sources are not necessary to have in order to effectively study or teach from this book. Members need not purchase additional references and commentaries to study or teach these chapters. The text provided in this book, accompanied by the scriptures, is sufficient for instruction. Members should prayerfully read and study President Young’s teachings in order to gain new insights into gospel principles and discover how those principles apply to their everyday lives. By faithfully and prayerfully studying these selections, Latter-day Saints will have a greater understanding of gospel principles and will more fully appreciate the profound and inspired teachings of this great prophet. The second section of each chapter offers a series of questions that will encourage thoughtful contemplation, personal application, and discussion of President Young’s teachings. Members should refer to and carefully reread his words on the principle being discussed. Deep and prayerful study of these teachings will inspire members to greater personal commitment and will help them resolve to follow the teachings of the Savior, Jesus Christ. If individuals and families prayerfully follow the principles in this book, they will be blessed and inspired to greater dedication and spirituality, as were the early Saints who heard these words directly from the lips of the “Lion of the Lord” (HC, 7:434)—the prophet, seer, and revelator, President Brigham Young.

Download or read book What Is the Gospel written by Greg Gilbert and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-03-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.
