Explaining the Doctrine of Salvation: Basic Bible Doctrines of the Christian Faith
There are four major views of salvation among Bible scholars. Two of them are treated herein, the Calvinist view and the Arminian View. What Andrews offers his reader is the biblical view of salvation. Chapter 5 Explaining Salvation will be a full chapter dealing with the doctrine of salvation itself. However, several other chapters will cover original language words that explain the salvation doctrine. We have Chapter 1 Explaining Atonement, as well as Chapter 2 Explaining Ransom, in addition to Chapter 3 Explaining Reconciliation, along with Chapter 4 Explaining Sanctification. All five chapters will cover some deep theological subject matter, as well as Hebrew and Greek terms, but are written in an easy to understand manner. EXPLAINING THE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION allows all readers, regardless of one's level of learning to plunge deeper into God’s promise of salvation, as Andrews explains the biblical view.

“Nevertheless, if we are to be reconciled, we must accept the provision that God has made for reconciliation through Jesus Christ.” (source)
“The Hebrew Old Testament Scriptures are what help us appreciate the ransom that was offered by the Son of God, Jesus Christ. It was Adam’s siding with Eve in the rebellion against God’s sovereignty (right to rule) that brought about the need of a ransom. Adam evidenced more love for Eve than he did for his Creator, who had given him live. Therefore, he sold his soul (life) so that he could join Eve in her transgression, sharing in her condemnation as well, losing his righteous standing before God. Therefore, he also sold any future descendants into slavery to sin and to death, as God had commanded, ‘from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,35 for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.’36’” (source)
“Therefore, the Father in his role as the gōʾēl included the punishing of wrongs done to his servants, ending with his sanctifying, and defending his personal name against those who used Israel’s suffering as a justification to reproach him. (Psa. 78:35; Isa 59:15-20; 63:3-6, 9) As the Great Kinsman (NASB) and Redeemer of both the nation of Israel as a whole and each individual making up that nation, he pled for their cause, to satisfy justice. – Psa. 119:153-154; Jer. 50:33-34; Lam. 3:58-60; See also Pro. 23:10, 11.” (source)
“Logizomai ‘is used of love in 1 Cor. 13:5, as not taking ‘account’ of evil, RV (KJV, ‘thinketh’). In 2 Cor. 3:5 the apostle uses it in repudiation of the idea that he and fellow-servants of God are so self-sufficient as to ‘account anything’ (RV) as from themselves (KJV, ‘think’), i.e., as to attribute anything to themselves. Cf. 12:6.” (source)
