Saved!: Rescued from God, by God, and for God (Paperback) by Larry Dixon Ph D

What in the world does it mean to be "saved"? Our post-Christian world looks at an old bumper sticker like the one that says "JESUS SAVES!" and sarcastically responds, "Well, I guess we should be thrifty too!" The Bible makes it quite clear that God is holy and we aren't -- and we're in a lot of trouble. We learn that Jesus came to rescue us from God's wrath, to pay the debt we owed a holy God, to draft us into His army to go rescue others. This book looks at the Bible's teaching on salvation from seven different perspectives: LOST, LOVED, LURED, LEARNING, LABELED, LIBERATED, and LAUNCHED. A strange epilogue entitled LOATHED completes the book. Ideal for small group study, Saved! is written for new believers and older believers who need to be reminded of God's rescue -- and how we ought to respond to the saving work of Jesus.
