For centuries people have enjoyed singing about the "amazing grace" of God. Discover in the book, FREELY BY HIS GRACE, why God's grace is so amazing . . . and free! Grace is what distinguishes authentic biblical Christianity from every world religion. Grace is free to the recipient but costly to the Giver. It changes lives and eternal destinies. It characterizes the Giver as "the God of all grace." Theology itself, therefore, must be absorbed with God's grace. FREELY BY HIS GRACE provides a thoroughly biblical approach to theology, demonstrating how God's grace remains consistently "free" in such relevant areas as Free Grace theology, Grace, the Gospel, Lordship Salvation, Discipleship, Faith, Repentance, Regeneration, Eternal Security, Assurance, Sin, Sanctification, Rewards, Dispensationalism, Missions, Evangelism, and Disciple making. FREELY BY HIS GRACE is written by fourteen different authors and leaders, including pastors, professors, seminary presidents, and ministry leaders, who provide a wealth of sound biblical, theological, and practical insight into the theme of God's amazing and free grace.

The New Testament has much to say about the day when Christ will evaluate His Bride, the Church, when all true believers in Christ will see Him just after the resurrection of dead believers and the rapture of living believers. According to the Bible, this event could even occur today! Are you ready for it? For many centuries Christians have been confused about the timing, participants, seriousness, purpose, and final outcome of this great divine evaluation of the Church. Is it the next revealed event on God’s calendar? Will all Christians be involved or only leaders? Is this event distinct from God’s judgment of unbelievers? Is this a judgment to determine a person’s eternal salvation or eternal reward? Will this event be essentially positive or will it involve punishment for disobedience? What effects will this judgment have afterwards in Christ’s kingdom? THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST was written by Dr. Samuel L. Hoyt as his doctoral dissertation to answer these relevant questions from Scripture with careful, balanced, and thorough exegesis. THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHIRST addresses a vital subject of eternal significance for every Christian.

The Judgment Seat of Christ: A Biblical and Theological Study

Hoyt, Samuel L.

A Roman governor once asked Jesus Christ, "What is truth?" Today, many souls are searching for the truth and sincerely asking God the same question. Unfortunately, much of the religious heritage bearing the name of "Christianity" cannot provide a trustworthy answer to this question. So much of Christendom is not true biblical Christianity but is actually a distortion of the liberating, grace-filled message of Jesus Christ and His apostles. Like the mind-controlling "Newspeak" of the nation of Oceania in George Orwell's classic book, 1984, the "Big Brother" of religion has distorted the true meaning of the central terms of the Christian faith. In Truthspeak, Dr. Michael D. Halsey, President of Free Grace Seminary and Pastor of County Line Church, sets the record straight regarding five key terms of the Christian faith. He clarifies biblically that GRACE does not mean works; FINISHED does not mean incomplete; REPENTANCE does not mean do penance; BELIEVE does not mean commit, submit, yield, and obey; and JUSTIFIED does not mean guilty until proven righteous. The message set forth in Truthspeak will provide hungering and thirsting souls with God's grace and truth that comes through faith alone in Christ alone.

HOLDING FAST TO GRACE is a careful, biblical study of the Christian’s relationship to God’s grace and the Law of Moses. The conclusion is reached that the believer in Christ in the present age is under God's grace as a rule of life (Rom. 6:14) and not under any part of the Mosaic system, including the Ten Commandments, as a means of sanctification. Aldrich distinguishes between the eternal moral law of God and the Ten Commandments in a way that demonstrates from Scripture that genuine righteousness in this age of grace stems from the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit while avoiding the imbalances of licentiousness and legalism. Regarding the imbalance towards legalism, Aldrich writes, “No modern legalist wants to climb to the top of Mount Sinai with its fire and thunder; but many think it is a good thing to take a short hike up its foothills. But to touch the mountain at the bottom was as fatal as climbing to the top (Heb. 12:18-21). The unity of the Mosaic law leaves only two alternatives―either complete deliverance from or complete subjection to the entire system. It will be shown that the first of these alternatives is clearly taught in the New Testament” (p. 57).

The Gospel of the Christ is a clear, biblical reply to the question of what a person must believe about Jesus Christ to possess eternal life. While Christianity has historically maintained that faith in Jesus Christ is essential for everlasting life, this raises the vital question: what is the necessary content of this faith? Written against the backdrop of the controversy within Free Grace circles over the "crossless gospel" and the contents of saving faith, Thomas Stegall goes well beyond a carefully documented analysis of his own movement. The Gospel of the Christ provides a systematic, exegetically-based treatment of biblical teaching on the subject of "the gospel" and the meaning of the title, "the Christ." The end result is a comprehensive biblical and theological study of Jesus Christ's person and work in the contents of saving faith.

This insightful and practical book demonstrates that the Christian life is to be lived the same way it began at salvation―all by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. When first published, DISCIPLINED BY GRACE received the following endorsement from Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, founder of Dallas Theological Seminary: “One feature in the doctrine of grace which has been so greatly neglected is the life which is to be lived unto God after one is saved by grace. . . . DISCIPLINED BY GRACE covers this ground and meets this need in a wonderful way. It should be read by every Christian. I commend it most heartily.” In a formal review of DISCIPLINED BY GRACE, Dr. Chafer also wrote: “Mr. Strombeck has exercised his peculiar ability to make the truth about divine grace clear and simple. Twenty-one short, crisp chapters on as many phases of this inexhaustible theme are presented. . . . Read this book carefully, and all the writings of Mr. Strombeck. This is the earnest, serious recommendation of the reviewer.”

Throughout the history of Christianity, great confusion has surrounded the condition for eternal life and the meaning of the term "repentance." Does it mean to do penance for one's sins? To feel sorrow or remorse for sin? To forsake all and follow Christ? To stop sinning or at least make a determination to sin less? Dr. Michael Cocoris writes with clarity in explaining the biblical meaning of this term as simply "a change of mind" or "a change of belief." This book offers a distinctively biblical approach to the subject of repentance. It surveys the words "repent" and "repentance" in the Bible as they are used by John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Apostles Peter, Paul, and John, and the writer of Hebrews. The key Greek and Hebrew terms are also explained. The result is a refreshing treatment of repentance that is based upon the authority of God's Word rather than human tradition.

Repentance: The Most Misunderstood Word in the Bible

Cocoris, G. Michael

If you have put your trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work alone to save you, is your salvation eternal and secure? Or can eternal life be lost, given back, or forfeited? Are believers in Christ on divine probation with their destiny uncertain, or will God's grace and power keep them saved forever? These are the crucial questions which SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER asks and answers from the Bible in clear and concise terms. The book contains 32 chapters of varying length, consisting of 5 major sections: (1) "Identifying the Issues" of what eternal security does and does not teach; (2) persuasive "Scriptural Support" for this controversial but crucial teaching; (3) a thorough explanation regarding the "Absolute Assurance" of eternal salvation and why some people don't have it and reject eternal security; (4) a warning of the serious "Consequences of Carnality" in a believer's life and how to have assurance and victory in Christ; and (5) "Probing the Perplexing Passages" that are used by some to deny eternal security (over 40 passages are analyzed and answered). SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER is not a boring book of dry theology but is written from a pastor's heart while interacting with the text of Scripture, using down-home illustrations, tackling perplexing passages, utilizing helpful charts, and making practical applications and appeals to the reader. SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER has strong endorsements from leaders of several evangelical ministries. If you are unsure of your eternal salvation and want to know with certainty that you are going to Heaven when you die, or if you are a relatively new believer in Jesus Christ as Savior and need to become established in the faith, or if you've been a carnal Christian and want to find your way back to fellowship with God, or if you have struggled with life-long addictions and need a firm foundation for assurance and practical victory, or if you have known and grown in Christ for a number of years and need further encouragement and edification, SHALL NEVER PERISH FOREVER will greatly help you by clearly and faithfully explaining God's Word on this crucial subject.

The good news of salvation in Jesus Christ that the world must hear is being muddled by the influence of postmodernism within the evangelical church. GETTING THE GOSPEL WRONG sets forth the unchanging biblical standard of the gospel and then proceeds to analyze six aberrations of the gospel prevalent in evangelicalism today. These include the Purpose Driven Gospel, the Puzzling Gospel of popular evangelistic crusades, the Prosperity Gospel, the Pluralistic Gospel, the works-based Performance Gospel, and the Promise-Only (crossless) Gospel. In his review of the first edition of GETTING THE GOSPEL WRONG in Dallas Seminary's theological quarterly journal, seasoned Christian author and editor, Dr. Roy B. Zuck, stated: "Today's postmodern world with its diversity, subjectivism, and absence of absolutes, has led, Hixson maintains, to confusion regarding the Scriptures and particularly the gospel. In this insightful book [Hixson] presents the following definition of the gospel: ʻSaving faith is the belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God who died and rose again to pay one's personal penalty for sin and who gives eternal life to all who trust Him alone for itʼ" ("Review of GETTING THE GOSPEL WRONG," Bibliotheca Sacra 166 [October 2009]: 489). "This book is a much-needed call for clarity in presenting the gospel. What could be more important than to be sure unsaved individuals clearly understand what is involved in placing faith in Jesus Christ for eternal life? With so many voices presenting variations of the biblical plan of salvation, the observations in this book need to be studied and heeded" (ibid, 490). GETTING THE GOSPEL WRONG is now available in a thoroughly revised and restructured edition, containing an additional chapter and relevant new material for all who are concerned about the truth and clarity of God's saving message of the gospel.

Getting the Gospel Wrong: The Evangelical Crisis No One Is Talking About

Hixson, J.B.

Do you know what the Bible means by the terms "saved" and "salvation"? Have you been saved in the past from sin's penalty? Are you being saved in the present from sin's power? And do you know with certainty that you will be saved in the future from sin's very presence? SALVATION IN THREE TIME ZONES explains why God's free gift of salvation is one of the most wonderful and vital subjects in the entire Bible and why distinguishing between the three tenses of salvation is essential for every believer's personal assurance, spiritual growth, and correct and consistent interpretation of God's Word. This practical study shows from the Bible that God's grace guarantees the believer in Christ a past and future salvation, while also providing all that is necessary for salvation in the present. Many difficult passages dealing with salvation are explained and clarified. Three chapters at the end of the book cover "test passages" to determine which type and tense of salvation is being referred to (Matthew 24:13; 1 Corinthians 3:15; and James 2:14-26).
