Grace, Faith, and Obedience by David E. Pratte Pdf

A study of Bible teaching about Calvinism compared to salvation by obedient faith. Includes the following topics: * Original sin and inherited depravity * Election and predestination * Grace and mercy of God * Falling from grace * Imputation of Christ's sinless life * Faith only or obedient faith? Does Scripture teach that we are born totally depraved because we inherit Adam's sin, or are we free moral agents having the free will power to choose between good and evil? Are the elect chosen based on unconditional predestination, or is forgiveness conditional on our conduct? Did Jesus die as atonement for the sins of all people or just for a limited few? What is the relationship between law, faith, works, and grace? Can a child of God so sin as to be lost, or does the Bible teach the perseverance of the saints (eternal security or "once saved, always saved")?

Grace vs. Obedience by Paul Kasch Pdf

Christians often struggle with a sorrowful realization of our inadequacy, especially when we encounter the New Testament passages that speak of obedience. And for good reason! This is something we all fail miserably at, despite our best intentions. Jesus himself said: “Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will in enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father in heaven.” How secure are you in your salvation after reading the above verse? If your answer is anything less than 100% secure, you probably don’t have a proper grasp of God’s grace as revealed in the New Testament – where we find many wonderful passages assuring us that belief and faith in Christ alone has sealed our eternal life ...but only so long as we choose to remain in Christ. But if we are capable of choosing to leave the faith, how is it we are sealed? And what about exaltation in the afterlife? Is hope of reward proper (or acceptable) motivation for wanting to perform good Christian works? In this work, Paul Kasch scripturally guides the malleable Christian around the circle of grace and obedience in an attempt to find a Biblically-based, peaceful resolution. The believer should come away from this book with a better understanding of the relationship between faith and works, and a glorious confidence in their relationship with Christ.

Faith and Obedience by R. J. Rushdoony Pdf

Without Obedience to God's Law, Our Faith is a Dead One. Is God's law opposed to love, grace, and faith? The Apostle Paul makes clear in Roman 13:8-10 that love is the fulfilling of the law because love puts law into action by respecting God's requirements concerning life, property, our neighbor, our enemy, and ourselves. If we commit adultery, we do not love our spouse. If we are idolaters, we do not love God. Love is more than a feeling; it is a way of life lived either in faith and obedience to God and His law, or in unbelief and disobedience. Love is the law of God put into action by a person of faith. Therefore, it is the grace of God that He has given us His commandments. In this powerful introduction to Biblical law, R. J. Rushdoony reveals that to be born again means that where you were once governed by your own word and spirit, you are now totally governed by God's Word and Spirit. This is because every word of God is a binding word. Our money, our calling, our family, our sexuality, our political life, our economics, our sciences, our art, and all things else must be subject to God's Word and requirements. The Scripture says that "the wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23), and that "sin is the trangression of the law" (1 John 3:4). Therefore, to be lawless - without law - is leading our society to death. Might this explain the disasters and collapses of our time? Can you see how important such a study of God's law would be? If so, then here is your introduction.

Core Christianity by Michael Horton Pdf

What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Future Grace, Revised Edition by John Piper Pdf

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.
