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.

Think of a newborn child born into a loving, godly home. That infant has so many blessings of which he is not aware. He has life, though he’s not conscious even of the concept of life. His parents provide everything he needs—food to nourish him, clothing to warm him, shelter to protect him, and so on. Above all these things, he has a father who dearly loves him, who delights in him, and cherishes him. But will the father be satisfied with this? The answer is, No. He not only loves his child, but he wants his child to come know, and be blessed by the love of his father, and to see and enjoy the tokens of that love in all the provisions made for him.
