Book Synopsis The High Cost of a Free Gift by : Kermit Taylor
Download or read book The High Cost of a Free Gift written by Kermit Taylor and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think about our salvation in most cases, we will focus on God's gracious and undeserved goodness toward us. Though salvation flows from the grace of God, thereby making it free to all who put their trust in Jesus, free does not mean that our salvation is cheap or without great cost to God Himself. This book, The High Cost of a Free Gift, takes a very Christocentric looked at the gracious provision of salvation. This book focuses on all that it cost our Savior in order that He might be our perfect and eternal sacrifice for sin. By looking at the Christology of our salvation, this book encourages a greater appreciation for all that the Son of God endured in order that we might be saved. From His preincarnate glory to His descent into the grave, our Savior paid a high price in order that we might receive the free gift of salvation. This book will trace the downward stage in the works of Jesus Christ from His glory to the grave referred to as His humiliation. We will take a deeper look at the following topics: - "Jesus's Glorious Preincarnate Existence" - "The Meaning and Necessity of His Humiliation" - "The Virgin Birth and Incarnation of Jesus" - "Kenosis: The Self-Emptying of Jesus" - "His Temptations and Rejections" - "His Illegal Trials" - His Sacrificial Atoning Death" - "His Burial and Descent to Hades" - "The Implications of His Humiliation" Ultimately, from this reading, we learn that the Son of God's love for man was so deep that He willingly laid aside His glory in order to endure a level of humiliation that was so great that only God wrapped in humanity could endure it. Our greater appreciation for the high cost that Jesus paid to save us should cause us, as believers, to appreciate, admire, and adore Him all the more and greatly value the free gift to which He paid such a high cost.
Book Synopsis The Humiliation of Christ by : Alexander Balmain Bruce
Download or read book The Humiliation of Christ written by Alexander Balmain Bruce and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the literature of this vast and compelling subject, A. B. Bruce’s great book, The Humiliation of Christ stands alone and apart. Spoken of as having “won for himself the foremost place among Christian apologists” in the nineteenth century. A. B. Bruce crowned his New Testament studies (which included such famous books as The Training of the Twelve, and St. Paul’s Conception of Christianity, etc.) with this brilliantly impressive study of a subject which he especially was equipped to write. Here Bruce employs the teaching of Scripture, as it deepens and sharpens our perceptions of the sufferings of our Lord, to form dynamic as well as correct views of Christ’s person experience, and work; and having complete grasp of the relevant literature, ancient, modern, and that of his own contemporaries, he acts as a reliable and sure guide in the criticism of the various theories of Christ as Lord and Redeemer. A book every advanced student of the New Testament will cherish.
Book Synopsis The Crucified King by : Jeremy R. Treat
Download or read book The Crucified King written by Jeremy R. Treat and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of God and the atonement are two of the most important themes in all of Scripture. Tragically, theologians have often either set the two at odds or focused on one to the complete neglect of the other. In The Crucified King, Jeremy Treat demonstrates that Scripture presents a mutually enriching relationship between the kingdom and atonement that draws significantly from the story of Israel and culminates in the crucifixion of Christ the king. As Israel’s messiah, he holds together the kingdom and the cross by bringing God’s reign on earth through his atoning death. The kingdom is the ultimate goal of the cross, and the cross is the means by which the kingdom comes. Jesus’ death is not the failure of his messianic ministry, nor simply the prelude to his royal glory, but is the apex of his kingdom mission. The cross is the throne from which he rules and establishes his kingdom. Using a holistic approach that brings together the insights of biblical and systematic theology, this book demonstrates not only that the kingdom and the cross are inseparable, but how they are integrated in Scripture and theology.
Book Synopsis Man of Sorrows, King of Glory by : Jonty Rhodes
Download or read book Man of Sorrows, King of Glory written by Jonty Rhodes and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the Person and Work of Jesus Really Means Christians, rightly called "people of the cross," look to Jesus's death and resurrection as the central points of his earthly mission. But in order to understand more fully the person and work of Christ, it's important for believers to fix their minds on his entire ministry—his life, death, resurrection, and ongoing ministry today—and not solely on his work on the cross. In Man of Sorrows, King of Glory, Jonty Rhodes uses the traditional roles of Jesus as prophet, priest, and king (often referred to as his "threefold office") to show how his whole life—in humiliation on earth and now exaltation in glory— is lived for us. As believers explore Jesus's life, death, resurrection, and ascension, they will develop a holistic portrait of the Messiah and a deeper appreciation for God's plan to reclaim sinners.

Book Synopsis Why I Love the Apostle Paul by : John Piper
Download or read book Why I Love the Apostle Paul written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

Book Synopsis The Glory of Christ by : R. C. Sproul
Download or read book The Glory of Christ written by R. C. Sproul and published by R. C. Sproul Library. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The soul is lifted up by the contemplation of the glory of God and of his only begotten Son," writes R. C. Sproul. "It is Christ in his glory who is the object of our worship and adoration. As Christians we join the communion of saints and the host of heaven in lifting up praise and honor to him." During his earthly life and ministry, Jesus experienced humiliation and suffering. "His humanity served as a veil that concealed the splendor of his deity," Sproul continues. "Yet there were moments when his glory shone through." These moments become the focus of The Glory of Christ. From the angels' revelation of Jesus' glory to the shepherds outside Bethlehem, to Jesus' life-changing revelation of his glory to Paul on the Damascus Road, Sproul guides us to a deeper understanding of Christ's glory. Paul said to King Agrippa about his conversion experience, "I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven." Sproul concludes: "This is the statement every Christian longs to make at the end of his life. This is the proper response to the manifestation of the glory of Christ." Book jacket.
Book Synopsis The Humiliation of the Word by : Jacques Ellul
Download or read book The Humiliation of the Word written by Jacques Ellul and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Western people no longer hear; everything is grasped by sight. They no longer speak; they show.” -- Jacques Ellul Well-known for his many books on sociology and theology, Jacques Ellul creatively braids these two strands together in this provocative examination of how reality (which is visual) has superseded truth (which is verbal) in modern times. Ellul explores biblical texts for distinguishing visual cultural forms from the communicative (divine and human) Word, then examines how this distinction plays out with the rise of audiovisual media in the 20th-century West. Even in human speech, visual forms dominate contemporary life and devalue the word; this insight informs discussion of the image/word clash in religion, politics, and art. After a scathing critique of present-day idolatry, Ellul places his hope for nonviolent community in the fragile spoken word. Ultimately, Ellul sees the Bible as presenting a hopeful vision of reconciliation—between visual reality and spoken truth. A new afterword by Jacob Marques Rollison contextualizes Ellul’s stance within French postmodern thought, illuminating Humiliation of the Word as an outspokenly “Protestant communication ethic” in contemporary philosophical and theological discussions of language.

Download or read book The Grand Miracle written by C. S. Lewis and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1986-01-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Captivating reading that builds the faith while it fills the mind with greatness.”—Sherwood Wirt, former editor, DECISION Magazine One of this century's greatest writers of fact, fiction, and fantasy explores, in utterly beautiful terms, questions of faith in the modern world: • On the experience of miracles • On silence and religious belief • On the assumed conflict between work and prayer • On the error of trying to lead “a good life” without Christ • On the necessity of dogma to religion • On the dangers of national repentance • On the commercialization of Christmas . . . and more “The searching mind and the poetic spirit of C.S. Lewis are readily evident in this collection of essays edited by his one-time secretary, Walter Hopper. Here the reader finds the tough-mind polemicist relishing the debate; here too the kindly teacher explaining a complex abstraction by means of clarifying analogies; here the public speaker addressing his varied audience with all the humility and grace of a man who knows how much more remains to be unknown.”—The New York Times Book Review
