Providing straightforward analysis on the intersection of contemporary issues and theology, based on a Biblical Christian Worldview.
[…] assumption is that there is only so much room in Heaven and the better a person you are, the more likely God will grant you entrance. Works-based salvation could not be defined more clearly. Salvation by Works From a human perspective, earning one’s place in Heaven by being a good person could not be […]
[…] dead on Easter morning, offered evidence of His power and love for all humanity. Biblical Christians serve God out of their hearts through an appreciation for eternal salvation, rather than the fear of our efforts falling short in comparison to others. Serving our Lord results from our salvation rather than an attempt to gain […]
The Bible and Salvation
One is false and the other is eternal. And, a changed life over time, rather than baptism, is a true demonstration of salvation in action.
Can Christians lose their salvation, and is that where our focus should be?
Salvation comes from a relationship.
Salvation is passing from darkness to light
In 2009, John MacArthur wrote the book, “The Gospel According to Jesus,” which was not the first time the phrase “Lordship Salvation” was bantered about, but it was the most explosive. In the book, MacArthur tried to make the case that, “The gospel call to faith presupposes that sinners must repent of their sins […]
The importance of this topic, Salvation, cannot be overstated. It is an absolutely critical dogma of the Christian faith. It has to do with eternity in Heaven or Hell, among many other things. There are not many theological constructs more important than Salvation. Being a Good Neighbor Many people, even Christians, state that one does […]
[…] to put on the armor of God, the helmet received intentional attention. Not as ornamentation, but as defense of the mind — the command center of belief and behavior. Salvation, he implies, must be more than believed — it must be worn. For the Roman soldier, the helmet protected the skull, face, and neck. It often bore decorative […]
[…] those, such as the reader above, who believe that when mankind makes an active pronouncement to “follow Christ,” it can be seen as a form of works-based salvation … thereby detracting from God’s grace and our faith alone in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). The question becomes, is one saved at the point when the […]
[…] diagrams was introduced in the 1880’s as a way of showing the logical relationships between groups or sets of elements. They can offer a visual way of defining salvation and ongoing sanctification for the Biblical Christian. Salvation – Depicted in Red Scripture offers clarity on how to have Jesus Christ in our lives, for eternity. […]
[…] of Roman Catholic theology. The unreferenced quote he used was likely taken from a Catholic theologian and continues … “Sometimes the Church is accused of teaching ‘ salvation by works,’ but this is an empty accusation. This idea has been consistently condemned by the Church. Good works are required by God because he requires […]
When you desire a personal relationship with God ( salvation), the question becomes, do you need to make that dependency public or can it be kept private? The Bible The Bible offers many insights into what it means to live a Christian life. One of its tenants is that Christians need to share the […]
[…] their once-accepted Biblical Christian theology becoming untenable and they simply walk away from the Bible, church, Christian peers, etc. Do these changes suggest (1) a loss of salvation, (2) a temporary and recoverable drifting, or (3) are they just documenting the fact that they were never “saved” in the first place? What is a […]
[…] do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. Biblical Christians are sinners before and after salvation. That is a major reason why unbelievers discount us so much. We are truly a mess. Clearly, some unbelievers act much more like Christians than Christians […]
For those curious about what the word “ Salvation” really means to a Biblical Christian, below are very short answers to very important questions. What is Salvation? Salvation can be defined as a change in the state of man. It includes a change in who we are aligned with on earth (Jesus Christ), and […]
[…] of verses that speak to the level of urgency we need to have in “loving our neighbor.” Biblical Christians must be willing to share the plan of Salvation. In fact, in the book of Matthew, Christ sets only one thing above caring for our fellow man. Matthew 22:37-40 – And he said to him, […]
[…] use of the word “all” to mean a group of people, but not everyone, when considering who has been “made alive,” if that is a reference to salvation (Ephesians 2:4-5). The Bible is clear that salvation is limited to those who confess Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9). The gate to […]
[…] and through us while on this earth. Our ultimate eternal destination is Heaven with our Lord and Savior. If God did that for us, could God offer salvation to Satan as well? How It All Began Adam was the first human sinner. However he was not the first to sin. Lucifer was the greatest […]

I wrote an article recently trying to emphasize the importance of the order of faith and works in salvation. A knowledgable responder challenged my view in the belief that “there is no order: love God and love one another simultaneously…. there is a way to love God: by loving one another, as commanded by […]
[…] remain faithful to Christ. Thus, the text is understood as a serious exhortation to reaffirm faith and avoid the sin of denying Christ. 2. The Loss of Salvation Another interpretation, primarily advocated by the followers of Jacobus Arminius (Remonstrants), asserts that the passage refers to true believers who have definitively apostatized. According to this […]
[…] down to less than 150 words. A Biblical Christian is someone who has been saved and will, consequently, spend eternal life with Christ in Heaven. So, if salvation (fellowship with Him) is the ultimate intent of God, the singular question of life becomes, how does one “get saved”? To that, I would like to […]
[…] So A simple focus on the greatest commandment to love God and love your neighbor (Luke 10:27) is the view of many as the sole source of salvation. Often it gets collapsed into a view that to love our neighbor is a replacement for serving God. There is a profound ignorance of what it […]
Answer: No, they should not, as everything necessary to salvation is found in Christ. To seek salvation through good works is a denial that Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior. Scripture: Galatians 2:16 – yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus […]
[…] to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Acts 4:12 – And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” John 3:36 – Whoever believes […]
[…] come under more social scrutiny for our unchanging beliefs. There is a set of core theological beliefs (here) that are both clear from Scripture, and necessary for salvation. They hinge around Rom 10:9 and Eph 2:8–9. As harsh as it may sound, Christians, or those who used to consider themselves Christians, who believe they […]
Quick Quote – Source – Jonathan Edwards A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Salvation is through God’s grace, having nothing to do with our efforts. That is clear from verses such as Eph. 2:8-9 and the illustration of the thief who was shown grace while on the cross next to Jesus in Luke 23:39-42. […]
[…] Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Scripture documents God’s grace to forgive our sins if we will repent and follow Him. Salvation results from a sincere desire to be forgiven as an initial act of submission and recognition that He is both our Savior and Lord (Eph. 2:8-9, […]

[…] through dreams, visions, miracles, and especially through His word, the Bible. The title of this brief post comes from a writer on Medium who is questioning whether salvation could be offered to those who never hear the word “Jesus” through general revelation. However, Scripture makes it clear that salvation comes through a personal relationship […]
