Every Christian cherishes the famous passage in Galatians 5:22-23 that lists the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These are the marks of godly character that we strive to display. But has it ever occurred to you that these are also the characteristics of God? Can it be that God loves us with the fruit of the Spirit? And only when we are secure in that love can we display it to others? Jessica Thompson wants to take you deeper into the love that your Heavenly Father has for you.

The foundation of the Christian faith is built on Jesus Christ and his word to us, the Holy Bible. This Biblical Foundation Series includes elementary principles every Christian needs to help lay a strong spiritual foundation in his or her life. In this fifth Biblical Foundation book, we discover that it is grace that motivates God to offer us salvation even though we did not earn it. In fact, we cannot earn it; it is a gift. Our salvation comes as a gift of God’s grace, and it can be accessed by our response of faith. God’s grace is present in our lives to save us.

Christians often hear or read a detail about LDS (Latter-day Saint, the formal name of the church) beliefs and a biblical response, another detail and response, and so on. They may learn many details but not grasp the "big picture". This is an effort to help Christians see the "big picture" of the Mormon plan and a "big picture" response.

Jesus quoted Hosea in saying, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." The prophet Samuel similarly told King Saul, "To obey is better than sacrifice. In fact, an attentive read through the Old Testament will show that there are a lot of things better than sacrifice. What was the role of Old Testament sacrifices? How does that affect our understanding of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross? Pavao forces us to look at verses we gloss over because they contradict our understanding of the purpose of the Jewish sacrificial system. Have you ever considered that God once said: I didn’t speak to your ...

Profundizarse en la maravillosa doctrina de la justificación trae esperanza, paz y gozo. Entender la imputación de la justicia de Cristo es mas que doctrina. Es vida.

What is salvation? Why do humans need it? And what is its process? The doctrine of salvation essentially teaches how humans are condemned to an eternal hell by a just and righteous God because of their sins. However, instead of condemning all of humanity without any hope of redemption, God provided a means of salvation, so that the condemned may become righteous and dwell eternally with him in a place of blessing. In this study, we will consider salvation by exploring some of the elements within the order of its process, the gospel message, and theological issues associated with salvation ...

The voice of God is one of the most profound and awe-inspiring aspects of the human experience. It is the divine expression of God’s will, His character, and His heart for humanity. From the very beginning of creation, God’s voice has been central to His relationship with His creation. It was His voice that spoke the universe into existence, bringing light out of darkness and order out of chaos. His voice is not distant or impersonal but deeply intimate, inviting His creation into communion with Him. To hear the voice of God is to encounter the very essence of who He is—holy, loving, ...

Jesús nos envía al mundo de la misma manera que el Padre lo envió a él. Sin embargo, aun miles de años después, muchos cristianos todavía no se ponen de acuerdo que incluye esto. Algunos creen que el enfoque de la misión cristiana es evangelizar y «salvar almas». Otros enfatizan asuntos de justicia global o la labor de alivio y desarrollo. ¿Acaso solo una de estas dos opiniones está en lo correcto por si sola?

This book discusses one of the most important set of verses in one of the most important chapters in one of the most important books of the Bible. The whole doctrine about being born again is based upon a conversation that Jesus had had with a Pharisee named Nicodemus. From that conversation, one can easily see the analogy between the brass serpent on a pole in the Old Testament and Jesus on the cross at Calvary. That analogy makes it clear that Jesus is the only way of salvation. People may try whatever they like. But John 14:6 says that no one comes to the Father except by the Son. All of...

Did you know that God isn't expecting you to clean up your life? Shocking right? God's goal for you goes so much deeper than your actions, his goal is to give you something most people dream of...new life. All of us have things in our past that we are not proud of. We probably have some things in our present we aren't too fond of either. What if God's plan for you was to let the past be the past...literally count the old you who messed up as dead, and let a new, better you be reborn. Well, that is his plan! This book holds the best news I have ever heard.

The apostle Paul begins his exhortation on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6 by calling believers to strength—not in themselves—but in the Lord and in the power of His might. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10). He then commands them to “put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). This call is not passive. It is a militant cry to readiness in the face of a cunning and relentless enemy. The very purpose of the armor of God is to enable the believer to stand ...

Is God’s love universal—or covenantal? In an age overflowing with competing gospels, The Covenant Way offers a return to the ancient paths. With clarity, depth, and reverence for Scripture, this book challenges the growing belief in Universal Reconciliation—the idea that all souls will ultimately be saved—by testing it against the unshakable framework of covenant theology. From Eden to Sinai to Golgotha, God has always revealed Himself through covenant. These covenants define the terms of relationship, the path to restoration, and the boundaries of redemption. With every page, this ...

LA MÉDULA DEL EVANGELIO POR SOLA GRACIA La doctrina de la imputación constituye el centro mismo, y la roca fundamental del Evangelio. Toda la humanidad desde la caída en Adán, se encuentra muerta en delitos y pecados. Sin embargo, nuestro pecado es puesto a Cristo en la Cruz, y su justicia nos es dada a través de la fe y el arrepentimiento. Sin imputación lo único que nos queda es una salvación por obras. Sin embargo, esta doctrina cardinal ha estado bajo constante ataque durante el siglo XX desde diferentes ángulos. J.V. Fesko ha hecho un trabajo magistral de proporciones épicas ...

This book explores salvation in many of its facets. It considers the theoretical concepts of free will and sovereignty and shows how they apply to our everyday life. If man is free, how is God sovereign? How can these two concepts coexist, and how do they fit into God’s plan of salvation? These topics are covered in a style that is aimed at the everyday Christian with practical examples.

The whole plan of salvation—justification, sanctification, and glorification—finds its beginning, power, and fulfillment in Jesus Christ alone. He is not merely the initiator or the example of salvation; He is the foundation, the means, and the goal of it. The Christian life is not a self-improvement program or moral journey apart from Christ—it is a divine work accomplished in Him, through Him, and unto Him. Every stage of salvation is rooted in what Christ has done, is doing, and will do for the believer. Justification in Christ Alone Justification is the first stage in salvation, ...

In Knowing the Cross, Geoffrey Thomas investigates God’s Word to understand the true meaning of the cross of Christ. Do you understand how this instrument of death became a symbol of life? How the verdict of bad news for Jesus became a declaration of good news for His people?

A definitive look at biblical salvation. The ways of God are infinitely wise, yet man willingly confuses and makes ambiguous plain teachings of scripture to suit his own destructive predilections. This is nowhere more evident than in the doctrine of salvation. In this book, God's ways are proven to align with common sense. The subject is explained simply, understandably, and sensibly through elucidation of God's word.
