Synopsis
Excerpt from Saving the World: What It Involves and How It Is Being Accomplished
This little book is neither a history of redemption nor a formal treatise on the plan of salvation. It makes no attempt to trace the revelation, through prophecy and providence, of the purpose of redemp tion; and there are many things connected with the plan of salvation that are not even touched in its pages. It aims simply to describe, comprehensively and yet scripturally, the great work of saving the world as it is being actually accomplished.
The two antipodal systems of Christian soteriology are Universalism and Calvinism. In logical concep tion, though not in formal presentation, these two sys tems approach the subject from precisely opposite directions. Universalism contemplates salvation as provided, and maintains that ultimately it will be as grandly realized as it is graciously proffered. But in the judgment of the great majority of Christians, it fails to support its teaching by a philosophy of sal vation that makes such an expectation reasonable, and to substantiate it with such proof from the word of God as to make it Scriptural. Calvinism contemplates salvation as finally accomplished, and presents a phi losophy of salvation that claims to explain the results that are ultimately reached. It must be conceded that it is very largely successful. Confessional Cal vinism presents a scheme of salvation which is clear.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and multifaceted nature of the Christian belief in salvation, revealing it as a gracious gift made possible by Jesus Christ. The author presents a nuanced understanding of the often misunderstood concept of sin, revealing its true nature as a departure from the divine will of God, ultimately resulting in the separation of humanity from Him. The book delves into the plight of the lost, emphasizing not only their spiritual separation from God but also their profound sorrow and sense of desolation. In contrast to the notion of sin and separation from God, the author explores the concept of salvation, focusing on the role of Jesus Christ in redeeming humanity from their lost condition and reconciling them to God. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Christ's mission as it was understood by New Testament authors and demonstrates the vital significance of His work in the life of every human being. Offering a profound understanding of the Christian concept of salvation from its historical roots in the teachings of Jesus Christ, this book is an invaluable resource for those seeking a deeper comprehension of this fundamental theological concept.
