Showing results for "Saved" in Bibles & Bible Study

Bestselling author Nancy Guthrie provides an accessible, theologically sound guide to the book of Acts. Over 17 chapters, she invites listeners to peer into the lives of the apostles in the days following the resurrection and ascension of Jesus as they experienced new power from the indwelling Holy Spirit and a new understanding of the Old Testament scriptures. With a friendly and engaging tone, Saved covers the entire book of Acts, providing a solid and accessible study resource for individuals and groups.

The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation.

Pastor and author John MacArthur examines the gospel as explained by Jesus Himself, helping listeners understand the true way to salvation. Only Jesus demonstrates how genuinely following Jesus as the crucified and risen Lord is the only way to be saved and to receive God's promise of eternal life.

This description comes from my 60 years of studying and teaching theology, during which I have come to think of theology as “the art of making distinctions”.

When I was teaching grace in the seminary, I came to the point where my beginning lectures for the course were an exposition of these distinctions.
