DESCRIPTION:
It's a Fearful Thing to Fall Into the Hands of the Living God! Keith Heapes I have noticed that it has become popular for a number of authors to write short books or booklets (less than 100 pages) on a particular subject or point of doctrine. In the past, these were called pamphlets or tracts and were very inexpensive, usually small pocket-sized paper publications. Often the problem with these pamphlets was they looked cheap, were poorly written and printed, and had unappealing artwork. Hence, they usually ended up, though not always, unread and in the trash.Today's version of the old pamphlet, what I call "giveaways," is often a small hardback or paperback . David J. Emery said Save Us From Unbelief!. The mantra of the evangelical Christian is, "I'm saved." But how often do we actually think about that statement and what it really means? Saved from what?

God is a righteous god; He demands man be punished when he wrongs God. Yes, God seek
Sproul uses Scripture to show that the question, in its most important sense, should be phrased, “Saved from whom?” The answer: God himself. It is when we truly grasp the significance of Christ’s redeeming work that we begin to understand the serious demands and joys of repentance. C. God, in righteous wrath, stands against us in our sin. Christians speak of “being saved,” but all too often don’t follow the phrase to its logical reply: “Saved from what?” How do we answer this question when we share the gospel with others? Far from being a matter of semantics, the issue holds critical importance for believers and non-believers alike. Thoughtful readers will be strengthened and challenged by this insightful volume. Is it really sufficient to say that we are saved from our sins?R. But the glory of the gospel is that the one from whom we need to be saved is the very one who saves us. Now available in paperback.
