Today, the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ still lacks a clear and concise understanding of the right and the proper relationship between Grace and Truth [or, in other words, Law and Gospel.] In this trilogy [Redemption in Christ, Believer's Sanctification, and Justification by Faith], I am going to attempt to bridge the gap between Law and Gospel in order to bring clarity to the message on the Grace of Christ. My prayer is that the Spirit of Christ will rest upon me to help me rightly divide the Word of truth, in order to clear up any confusion or misconceptions believers may have about this Pauline gospel. In these three books, I explain Biblical Redemptions [Salvation] and the Sanctification of all believers. I will contrast the gift from the fruit, and show how the fruit verifies the gift. No fruit, no gift! The fruit is the proof of the gift; the gift is what brings forth the fruit. God help us! May His Grace be with me in this endeavor! If you truly want to know what Paul had in mind when he wrote his gospel, these three books are for you. In this third book in the series, we will look at the time of the Protestant Reformation under Martin Luther, observing his take on the gospel, and how this affected the Body of Christ and her understanding of Biblical Salvation over the last 500 years. This book will help us differentiate the true biblical gospel from the false gospels. Justification by Faith Alone is the hallmark of our salvation! What does this mean, and how has it been understood by believers over the last five centuries? We will take a look at the sacraments and the Roman priesthood, in contrast to the Protestant Reformers, and explore why they had their differences. We'll also address the subject of eternal security (once saved, always saved). Is it true that we can no longer lose our place in salvation once we claim the gospel as our own? Come join us as we dive into this examination of salvation from a balanced, biblical perspective.
