With America's confidence in the Bible at an all-time low and the strength of her spiritual convictions waning, it is essential for Christians—especially Christian leaders—to be well-grounded in biblical theology. To have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key doctrines of evangelicalism. In response, professor and award-winning author Bruce Demarest has made plain God's glorious plan of salvation, his provision for the human dilemma through Christ's work on the cross, and the application of saving grace to unbelievers. Demarest's unique approach defines each topic, identifies its most pressing issues, examines the ways in which the doctrine has been understood historically, and interprets the Bible's revelation. The result is a clear and carefully constructed doctrinal statement that you can defend, live out, and communicate to others. This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross— and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration. It's perfect for clarifying your theology and gaining deep understanding of this foundational theme. Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.

"Legalism is a toxic poison that will affect your life, marriage, relationships, and ministry. It is responsible for more darkness in the Body of Christ than anything else." Legalism breeds self-righteousness, spiritual pride, boasting, guilt, despair, fear, intimidation, insecurity, and bondage. In this 2nd edition, the theology of grace, legalism, and apostasy are presented in one compelling volume. Charles Smoot, a former United Pentecostal Church International (U. P. C.) minister, reveals why legalism is a dangerous religious phenomenon that is dug in and entrenched in many churches and movements today. Justification, election and calling, perseverance, eternal security, holiness, backsliding, apostasy, reprobation, the unpardonable sin, the sin unto death, suicide, and more are examined from the vantage point of Calvary and the finished work of Jesus Christ. Only God's grace can lead the believer to righteousness, humility, faith, hope, love, peace, security, and liberty. Fallen from Grace will challenge your theology and cause you to examine your belief system. It will expose legalism and call you back to grace, Calvary, and the blood."

In Fallen from Grace, Tyrone, a highly esteemed pastor and avid worker in the church, has found himself in a compromising position that has landed himself in a jail cell and his wife Shanice in hospital fighting for her life because she has endured physical and emotional pain. Tyrone was raised in church and personally learned in his younger years that we can become consumed in situations that can leave us broken and dealing with the transgressions of reaping from bad seeds that we have sowed in our earthly lives. Tyrone was into fast-street life and continuously fell short of God’s glory. Yet God continued to show him that He is faithful and a forgiving God. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice and died for our sins because His desire is for His people to live life more abundantly. God also wants His people to walk in obedience and trust His word because being obedient is better than sacrifice. The Bible explains in Psalms 51:5 that we are born into sin and shaped into iniquity, but we are more than conquerors, and also in Romans 3:23, that all have fallen short of the grace of God, yet the mercy and grace of God are sufficient and will provide you with a guiding light in times of darkness. God’s guidance led Tyrone to a place of refuge where he met Pastor Tony, with whom he collectively shared an interest in seeking wise counsel and leading the people of God under the leadership of Bishop Jones. Deceitfulness clouded Pastor Tyrone’s mind, causing him to sin. Yet the Holy Spirit overshadowed his life and provided him with the privilege of repentance and the ability to receive God’s mercy and be saved by grace.
