After looking at the title, you may be tempted to bypass this book thinking - I don't need to study salvation, I know all about that. But before you do, ask yourself, honestly - Am I absolutely sure that I know beyond a shadow of doubt the truth about what salvation is and that I have experienced it for myself? Personal salvation, because it is a life and death issue is far too important to get wrong. It is far too important to treat lightly or haphazardly. It is far too important to trust to someone else; whether that person be a Rabbi, a Priest, a Protestant Preacher, or even one's parents. It is not safe to put our salvation in another's hands! We need to know what salvation is, and experience it for ourselves. This book will help you better understand what the Bible teaches about salvation and how we experience it.

Since the first century the Cross of Christ has been heralded as the centerpiece of the Christian faith. But, in spite of all the hymns sung, the sermons preached and the books written about the cross, if a survey were taken among Christians today it would likely show that a great majority have a very shallow understanding of Christ's death on the cross. In these modern times much of this is due to a lack of any real interest in religion, but much of it is also due to error and distortion of the facts. All this is such a travesty, there are so many important questions about the Cross of Christ people need to know the answer to that are either unasked or unanswered. That is what prompted the writing of this book. In this book we will go to the Cross of Christ and ask those questions, questions like: Who was Jesus who died? How was Jesus' death different from that of any other man who has sacrificed his life for the sake of others? Why did Jesus die that cruel death? Was it God who tortured and killed Jesus? Did Jesus really bear the sins of the whole world on the cross? How are we "saved" by Christ's death? And can a person be saved without Christ's death? You will find these questions and more clearly answered in this book with all the answers coming exclusively from the scriptures.

Love That Heals is a book written for study and serious reflection. It examines the age old, traditional way of understanding the plan of salvation in the church referred to as "the legal model." It points out some serious problems with using the forensic, courtroom, law model as a basis for the way God saves people. It then introduces a better model, or metaphor, for understanding how the plan of salvation works, this model referred to as "the healing model." In this model, God, instead of being seen as a Judge and Executioner, is seen as a Great Physician and Healer, not only physical, but the spiritual healing of our sin-sick souls. In this model, God's righteous and gracious character shines through in a refreshing new way. The book also discusses God's Law, the Trinity, forgiveness, justice, and the end of sin and sinners, all in the setting of a healing model, all from a biblical perspective.

This is a study of biblical teachings designed for use in a student / teacher setting in preparation for baptism. However, this collection contains many helpful studies that can be beneficial to anyone seeking to learn biblical truth. This collection includes topics that teach how to get more from your study of the Scriptures, the origin of evil, the Trinity and the nature of God, the sleep of death, hell and the second death, the wrath of God, the death of Christ, salvation in a healing model, understanding forgiveness, the second coming of Christ, the millennium, commitment and baptism, and more. These studies are not based on the teachings of any church, priest, preacher or ancient "church fathers" but on the Bible alone. What says the Bible, the precious Bible, this my only question be. The teachings of men so often mislead us, what says the Bible to me?
