What Is Good About the Good News? A
message delivered on Resurrection Sunday
---------------------
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."
BABINC has posted this series of sermon synopses and outlines on "The
Rapture" convinced that when properly understood and included in a Christian's
personal belief system it will make a difference in how he or she views and
prepares for the future return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
--------------------
This brief, insightful series on Christian Rest is contrasted with the Old
Testament rest of Israel in her land. These studies should help you
appreciate the possession of rest available to the grace believer.

Dividing The Word Of Truth by C.I. Scofield
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.
