More DescriptionThis book seeks to provide answers to the pressing theological questions raised in the Christian Church. All of these answers can be found only in the Scriptures. What is salvation and the inheritance? Can a true believer ever lose his salvation? How does anyone become saved? Is it as simple as confessing that Jesus is Lord? What is the meaning of Romans chapters 9 through 11? Can those who have never heard the Gospel receive salvation? Why was it necessary for Jesus to be God? Why was faith considered righteousness even before Jesus died? What is the nature of the Old Covenant in comparison to Adam's Covenant and the New Covenant? Revelation 12:9 and 20:2 identify the serpent in the Garden of Eden as symbolizing Satan, which opens up the legitimate question: What other symbolism is in the Garden of Eden account? Lastly, why does Revelation use so many symbols from the Old Testament and how does the New Testament explain the meaning of those symbols? One example of this is the holy city, the New Jerusalem, shown descending from heaven in Revelation 21. Verse 9 identifies this city as the "wife of the Lamb." Ephesians 5:21-33 identifies the Church as the wife of Christ. Matching this symbol to the concept reveals that the holy city in Revelation 21 symbolizes God's holy church, Christians, rather than buildings, streets and gates. Ultimately, this book seeks to provide guidance and answers to the Church at large in regards to basic theology. The hope is that the Church will grow more united in belief and purpose and stronger in faith.
