Definition: Election. It is not uncommon to find the word 'election' defined in a Bible dictionary as 'chosen by God for salvation' or something similar. Many dictionaries and lexicons include an alternate definition: 'choice, select, best in its class.' A close look at the New Testament will reveal a number of passages where this word occurs without a clear indication of the intended definition. In these passages, how are we to determine which was...

The cross is too important a matter to be left to the theologians. If it is true that God almighty was in Christ redeeming the world on Calvary, then we need to understand what that cross can mean for ordinary individuals and communities.
With this conviction, Green reexamines the question of atonement. Why did Jesus have to die? How could a loving God allow his son to suffer? And what role does the resurrection play in this divine drama? Rooting...

Discover the magnitude of God's grace and how it can impact your life! Grace is one of the most phenomenal, yet least understood, gifts we receive from God. Grace does more than just allow you to be, forgiven of your sin, it empowers you to overcome sin! To many, grace is just a doctrine, a spiritual concept. But, as you will discover in reading this book, grace is so much more. Grace is unreasonable; it is so miraculous that we cannot make sense...

Jesus is the end of all religion. He did not come to tweak Judaism or create a new religion. When the nails were, driven into his hands and feet, when the spear pierced his side, when he said, "It is finished," all the religions we have, invented were, crucified. In the brain-dead silence of his tomb and in Jesus' resurrection power, the question, "What must I do to be saved," receives its answer. All the sacrifices of priests and people are, rendered...

To experience why the gospel is good news and answer life's most foundational questions about identity, destiny, and purpose, we must understand what it means to be united to Christ.
If you are a Christian, the Bible says that Christ has united his life to yours, that you are now in Christ and Christ is in you. This almost unfathomable truth is the central theme of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Yet few Christians today experience or enjoy...

The cross is regarded as Jesus Christ's great work of salvation. But is it also a work of creation? Excitingly plumbing Scripture and Christian tradition, Andrew McGowan shows that it is. "Each of Jesus's seven words from the cross can be understood as a creative act, as a new divine work," he writes. From the cross, Jesus works forgiveness, bestows Paradise, enacts human relationship, identifies completely with humanity, fulfills Scripture, and reenacts...

God's right to judge humanity is written on the very fabric of human existence
The doctrine of reprobation-that is, the eternal, unconditional decree of God for the non-elect-is frequently misconstrued in both pastoral and theological literature. In Reprobation and God's Sovereignty, Peter Sammons reintroduces this oft-misunderstood doctrine, revealing its relationship to divine sovereignty. With Romans 9 as a guiding text, Sammons presents a thoroughly...
