Module 5 - Soteriology: The Doctrine of Salvation

The lectures in this fifth module on the Doctrine of Salvation are, like the others, introductory, not exhaustive, and they’re intended to furnish you with a foundation that you can build upon in your further studies. As you’ll recall from the first module, theology, broadly defined, has to do with the study of the knowledge of God, and all that he has revealed for us to believe and do. We noted that it is the doctrine of living unto God through Christ, thus addressing both our thinking and our living. The Doctrine of Salvation, therefore, is an indispensible component to Systematic Theology.

Imagine coming into an empty room after a long day of very hard work. Your exhausted, your feet and back ache, and your legs are weary. You are eager to sit down and rest. In the room, you see a chair. You approach it, look around it, and study its structure and features. Someone comes into the room and tells you that it is very sturdy—one of the best, made by a top manufacturer. As you look at it closely, you can see that it is well built. You now have a knowledge that the chair can hold your weight, in fact, you affirm the testimonies about its qualities, and you’re led to be fully convinced that the chair can provide a safe and comfortable place to sit and rest your body. Finally, you plop down and nestle into the chair.
