Salvation: Rescue & Restoration

Salvation: Rescue & Restoration is a fresh examination of what the Word of God teaches about salvation. God's Word presents a different outlook from the current popular religious traditions and theological theories of salvation. The Bible describes a "salvation" which goes beyond just accepting Jesus Christ as one's Savior. Starting with Genesis 3:15, God's Word presents salvation as having two aspects: rescue from sin and restoration to all the privileges which mankind originally enjoyed. The doctrine of salvation taught in the Bible begins with justification by faith, but also includes redemption, restoration, election, and justification by works to obtain God's promises of rest, rewards, and inheritance in the Kingdom of God.
