For my final topic, I decided to utilize the doctrine of justification by faith in Christ. This doctrine is central to our Christian faith and shapes how we view our salvation in Christ. It is key that we have a good understanding of it because it can have an impact on how we view ourselves and how we view God. What is justification and how are we justified? Pastor R.C. Sproul speaks of this in a sermon on Martin Luther. He points out that our English word for justification comes from the Latin…

Soteriology is the area of theology concerning the process of salvation. Salvation, also called deliverance or redemption, is the saving of the soul from sin and its punishment, which is eternal damnation to Hell. Hell is the opposite of Heaven, and it is the place where a person is completely separated from God. Differing views on salvation are high on the list of primary beliefs dividing the various denominations, both among Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism and within…

throughout the service. To that end the following will examine the Sunday March 13th, 2016 worship service at Woodview Church of the Nazarene specifically looking at the doctrine of soteriology and its function throughout the service.

The Believers in Christ were first called Christians during the penning of the New Testament, and Luke records this event within the text of the book of Acts. Acts was written to Luke’s friend in Rome, Theophilus. This friend was also the person he wrote too to communicate the life and ministry of Jesus our Christ. Acts 1:1-2 [KJV] “The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach. Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy…

Sanctification: Finally, after working through the meat of the ordis salutis, I arrive at the heart of soteriology: sanctification, a union with Christ, and a covenantal partnership with God to be kingdom-bringers. Although sin nature still affects us as Calvin notes, the election and mercy of God, the imputation of Christ, and the impartation by the Holy Spirit lead me to a point in which I no longer am defined by my sin nature. Literally, my sin nature died when Christ died. When Jesus died…

The start of their relationship is questionable on many grounds; does she understand the risk of this potential liaison and how it could affect her emotionally, mentally, and physically?

Learning to live a Christian life is one thing, but living out what we have learned is another story. As Christians, I think we have a greater responsibility because we know how the world should look, and we need to step up and lead the people around us. In order to share the gospel with others, we have to take a look at what God is calling us to do. Leading others consists of knowing what the Christian life looks like, sharing that with others, and staying faithful and truthful in what we say…
