PASSIVE VOICE VERBS AND GRACE SALVATION SERIES


---------------------
You will find this series of messages built on the passive voice verbs related to grace salvation to be not only instructive but a great encouragement. Audio links also included. The following excerpt is a paragraph taken from synopsis 26.
"When I was determining the title for this series some months ago, I was tempted to come up with a catchy title. The title I have in my research is 'The Passive Voice and the Tenses of Grace Salvation.' The headers I have used on my outlines are the shorter 'Passives and Grace Salvation.' As I have noted, the emphasis is upon the use of passive voice verbs used related to the Christian's salvation. This early section on the subject has related to verbs in the passive voice that are clearly tied to the Christian's being in Christ Jesus as a result of the baptism of the Holy Spirit in initial salvation. The Christian is passive in the provisions of grace for all tenses of salvation. God actively has done the work by grace with the Christian being the recipient. The passive voice verbs counter much of what is being taught in Christendom today. This involves many theological systems accepted by evangelical and fundamental churches. Many are determined for the believer to have some role in receiving salvation while claiming it is all of grace. Without divine intervention every human being would be and remain unsaved. This is true of past, present and future tense salvation. God did not save a Christian so that he or she could live out salvation by his or her own efforts in any way. This is the reason that this series is so important for all true Christians."

Two Men, Two Acts, Two Results: The Gospel According to Paul by J.A. Youngberg. Concise and thorough--a must read. This small volume cuts right to the chase in its explanation of the lost condition of mankind and the Good News concerning Jesus Christ. The author's grasp and concise description of God's plan of salvation for the human race is presented in a clear, straightforward manner based solely on Scripture. For the believer, it is a helpful tool and guideline for understanding the elements of his/her own saving faith and what to share with those who need salvation. For the unbeliever, it accurately details God's gracious means of salvation for a failed, condemned and otherwise helpless sinner. In the Bible Matthew quotes Jesus as He describes "two ways" through life in this world. All of us entered this world on the broad path that leads to destruction. Two Men, Two Acts, Two Results" shows how a person is able to escape from the way to eternal punishment and follow the straight and narrow path to life eternal with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
