Instead of relying on theological agendas and comfortable rhetoric, we need to trust the biblical text by means of appropriate context. Words have meaning and context impacts their meaning. We should not to let our theology drive the biblical text; let the biblical text drive our theology. Hopefully, by relying on the clear text of Scripture, you’ll rediscover three biblical concepts which have made all the difference in my life and in thousands of others who handle God’s Word with care and common sense: 1.) Eternal life is a free gift. 2.) This free gift cannot be lost. 3.) God’s gracious response to obedience is eternal rewards. The following sections in this book will address evangelism, eternal security, and eternal rewards.
