Seize So Great Salvation: What It Means To Believe In Jesus Christ Curated By Charles C. Ryrie Depicted In Paper Copy

solid book. Short simple chapters. Must read for every believer and seeker, So Great Salvation by Charles C, Ryrie Ryrie emphasizes that the idea of lordship salvation is impossible in a theology of grace, but does it in a balanced way.
Assurance of salvation comes as we walk with Jesus as Lord and see fruit in our lives, but salvation is based on faith alone in Christ.
Repentance concerning salvation is toward a change in thinking about the person of Jesus, not our works, Overall, a good response to MacArthur's The

Gospel According to Jesus, Good study book. Great book mostly about what it means to be a true christian, Basically showing the fruit of the holy spirit, Excellent work, quite deep. I like the definition of terms and the logical progression of thought, I found this book on the Subject of Salvation, different bright and informative,

This book sticks close to the subject of our New Life and responsibility of living in the body of Christ.


Finally if you have recently became a new believer in Christ, or if you have already known, God most of your life.

This book will also make a good reference book, that will constantly point you to read your Bible and make it first place.


I highly recommend this book as a good read, This book is very well written and provides some solid questions for those who believe in "Lordship Salvation, " However, some of Ryrie's arguments against L, S. are very weak and downplay the role of repentance in conversion, This book does help answer some of the straw men used against easy believism however, What is salvation How does God work this miracle in our lives

One of the greatest themes that challenges the heart and mind of man is salvation.
It is not a trivial subject it is a matter of life and death, Many pastors and authors have attempted to expound upon it, Yet how difficult it is to comprehend God's grace that forgives all our sins every day and night, without preconditions, without works.


Scholar and theologian Charles Ryrie writes on the subject of salvation with humility and compassion, He brings clarity where there is confusion, While he quotes carefully and accurately from a wide range of authors, his final authority is the Word of God,

The gospel is the good news of the grace of God to give forgiveness and eternal life, So Great Salvation shows us that we can be confident of our salvation, certain we are forgiven by God, and sure we are destined for heaven.
I really enjoyed this book and how simply everything was written, We have owned it for a long time and although I wasnt faltering on what I believed, it was excellent at reaffirming all that Ive been taught and also giving me great insight into further thoughts on those things too.
I highly recommend this to others, and it will be a required reading as my kids enter their teen years, Clear Bible teaching on the topic of salvation, correcting some of the erroneous ideas of "lordship salvation", Ryrie admits right off that he expectss the majority of his readers to share his beliefs, So it reads as a rhetorical manual defining the particulars of that belief, not as a conversion text, which is nice.
As such it manages to be inoffensive to a nonbeliever like myself, However Ryrie suffers from the same problem as most philosophers and eschatalogical writers, i, e. the need to pin everything down, the need to absolutely kknow and define everything about the unknowable, While I often find it amusing to read such word games and logical constructs, I very seldom find them edifying or even educational.
And Ryrie isn't nearly a good enough writer to be the exception, The best book of its kind, Must reading for every Christian, You can watch my full review at sitelink youtube. com/watchvYkAdI

The majority of So Great Salvation was really good, it was great even, but I believe it could have been even better if Ryrie was consistent to rest salvation on faith alone in Christ alone in both the moment we are saved and our assurance after faith instead of bringing divine election to salvation into the picture or our works into the subject of assurance.


Salvation is truly great when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, the One who sits on the right hand of the Father in glory and for the most part Ryrie does a wonderful job at turning our eyes toward Christ and away from what we have done or are doing so for that reason I would recommend for anyone who wants to rejoice over their salvation a fresh read of Charles Ryries So Great Salvation.

This was a really great book, Ryrie is brilliant in the defense of salvation by grace, though faith, It is clearly written and can be understood by those with little to no theological background,

I believe that he gives a balanced argument with great illustrations and points,

It was a great read and causes the reader to give all praise to God, for He has given us so great a salvation! I like how this book breaks down and explains what different common terms in the Christian belief actually mean.
I am happy to be able to keep it and use for further reference as I need it, This is not my first time through this book, although it has been a while, Ryrie, speaking in layman terms, does an excellent job clarifying what the gospel is and is not, Many people confuse aspects of discipleship with salvation, thus creating a false gospel, Ryrie addresses these issues as well as many others, Theological view on soteriology. Would NOT recommend this book! Unfortunately, Ryrie goes to great lengths to discredit MacArthur rather than exegiting his own stance adequately.
Was a waste of time for me, Easy to read. Poor view of the Gospel, A clear explanation of a subject that is often misunderstood

What is the requirement for salvation What does it mean to be "saved by grace" What of the socalled "Lordship" salvation What place do works have in our life and how do they affect our salvation Ryrie answers these and many other questions in a straightforward and comprehensive way.
If you have any question about what kind of salvation Jesus purchased for us, and what qualifies us to partake in "So Great Salvation" then you should read this book.
