Salvation
“For God has not destined us from wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9) Despite a host of differences among denominations, one key point the Christian tradition and Biblical theology have always declared with a united voice is: salvation is found in and only in our Lord Jesus Christ. The grace of God the Father which sent His Son into the world, so that we might live through Him, can never be explored too thoroughly nor rejoiced in sufficiently. The gospel message is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes! The books in this section of Grace & Truth Books will help you to seek out the great length and breadth, depth and height of the love of God manifest in Christ which has brought such abundant grace to us.

Justification & Regeneration (Charles Leiter)
$11.95The aim of this work is clear: “This book attempts to set forth in clear Biblical light the nature and characteristics of justification and regeneration, that God may be glorified and His children brought to know more fully the liberty that is theirs in Christ.” To achieve this end, pastor Leiter first sets forth man’s greatest problem, sin. Specifically, man has a “bad record” because he has sinned, but also a “bad heart” because he is by nature a sinner and can do nothing but sin. But the glorious news of the gospel is that Christ has dealt with both our bad record and our bad heart. The bad record has been taken away because Christ died for our sins, and on that basis God has “justified” us, which means He has declared us righteous. As for the bad heart, this is destroyed when God “regenerates” us; God changes our hearts so that we begin to forsake sin and pursue true righteousness.

$13.50In The New Reformation, Christian hip-hop artist Shai Linne shows how the gospel applies to the pursuit of ethnic unity.

The Almost Christian Discovered (Matthew Mead)
$12.50Back in print in a new edition! The Almost Christian Discovered, a classic Puritan work, was written in 1661 and is one of the most important books ever written. The primary point which Mead presents is this:
“There are very many in the world that are almost, and yet but almost Christians; many that are near heaven, and yet are never the nearer; many that are within a little of salvation, and yet shall never enjoy the least salvation; they are within sight of heaven, and yet shall never have a sight of God.”Mead helps his readers to consider twenty (20) signs which most persons would say are the traits of true Christians; then he effectively shows, using biblical examples, how each of them may be equally true of non-Christians.

The Doctrine of Repentance (Thomas Watson) (#18)
$6.40Repentance is one of the least used words in the Christian church today. In a world that will not tolerate a mention of sin, and in churches where sin has been defined only in sociological terms, the biblical teaching on repentance has inevitably been ignored. Knowing what repentance is, and actually repenting are essential to true Christianity. Jesus Christ Himself said that if we do not repent, we will perish!
It is vital, therefore, to study what Scripture has to say about this theme. Few men have ever provided a better guide to this area of spiritual experience than Thomas Watson. He was a master of both Scripture and the human heart, and wrote with a simplicity and directness that keeps his work fresh and powerful into the 21st century.

Narrow Gate, Narrow Way (Paul Washer)
$5.25Talk is cheap, and so is a profession of faith apart from repentance. But we live in a day when people put more stock in a once-said prayer than a life reflective of a renewed heart. Taking Matthew 7:13–27 as his text, Paul Washer reminds us of Jesus’s insistence that His way is narrow, and that its travelers will bear good fruit and rest on the solid foundation of God’s Word. Neglecting these warnings from Christ have left many on the broad road to destruction. Don’t think you are heading to heaven if you are not following the way of the Master.
