If Being Good Can Not Save a Soul

If being good can’t save a soul, why does the Bible command it so relentlessly? This post reexamines the disconnect between popular theology and the actual moral expectations of Scripture – as they relate to salvation.

ESSENTIAL READING about SALVATION

Salvation by Being Good

What "Jesus Died for You" Meant to Jesus and His Apostles

INTRODUCTION

If all it takes to be saved is to be a good person then Jesus died for nothing.

Salvation by Being Good counters that common misunderstanding. It shows why the overwhelming testimony of the Bible is that being good is exactly what it takes to be saved - and Jesus died on the cross for that purpose.

In Salvation by Being Good you will discover:

Born Saved

God made us righteous and saved. Most of us stay that way.

Monster God

The unfortunate starting point for the Modern Gospel is Universal Condemnation Because Human, which makes God out to be a monster.

Becoming Righteous

Jesus died to inspire righteousness, not to transfer it to you because of your faith.

The Gospel

The Good News is the blessing of not being wicked, not something to believe in to save you.

Shifted Meanings

Martin Luther and the other Reformers reshaped the church's understanding of works, faith, and grace, but did not restore the original meanings of these words.

The Heart of God

Both Protestant and Catholic theology misrepresent the Father heart of God. Salvation by Being Good truly reflects that "God is love."

SCRIPTURAL BASIS

Salvation by Being Good - Scriptural Basis is 90% scripture, 80 pages worth, to establish modern Christians in the faith of Jesus. Salvation by Being Good - Scriptural Basis reads like a Statement of Faith, with over 150 Statements followed by the scriptures that demonstrate those statements, with only enough commentary as is necessary.

Salvation by Being Good - Scriptural Basis is everything you need to know about righteousness, and most of the things you don't know about righteousness. If you've read Salvation by Being Good - Introduction, rather than extensive footnotes making that twice as long, you can find the scriptural basis for every statement I make in this E-book.

Salvation by Being Good - Scriptural Basis is a great tool for teaching and evangelism, letting the scriptures do the talking. 

In Salvation by Being Good - Scriptural Basis you will discover:

Love Saves

Agape love is so important that doing it will save your soul.

Righteousness Saves

Learn how and why.

How the Cross Saves

Jesus died to inspire us to love and righteousness, not to be a substitute for our punishment.

Imputed Righteousness

A person is considered by God to be righteous, and saved, because of his conduct, not his belief. Jesus’ righteousness and his sacrifice only make us righteous if we actually become righteous.

Becoming Righteous

The best way to be righteous is to "love your neighbor as yourself."

God's Work

Everything God has done throughout history has been to bring about love and righteousness in his creation, especially sending Jesus to die for us.

Moral Transformation

THE ORIGINAL CHRISTIAN PARADIGM OF SALVATION

Recent scholarship has challenged post-Reformation ideas about the early Christian doctrines of salvation. This ground-breaking book draws together the conclusions of recent scholarship into a compelling and clear view of the early Christian paradigm of salvation. It presents the case that the early Christians focussed not on Christ’s death on the cross or ‘saving faith’, but on moral transformation. They saw Jesus as God’s appointed teacher, prophet, and leader, who died as a martyr to teach them a new way of life. Their paradigm of salvation centered upon this way of life taught by Jesus, and on following faithfully his example and teachings.
