A 30-day guide that clearly explains the steps of salvation
This devotional walks readers through the stage-by-stage path of God's salvation, from eternity past, through life and death, and into eternity future. The book explores rich, substantive theology, making it accessible and clear without dumbing it down, and includes illustrations and applications. The stages of the Ordo Salutis as Will Dobbie frames it are spread across thirty daily devotionals.
Each day's entry contains:
- Scripture verses
- an examination of the particular doctrine at hand
- illustrations
- applications
- a suggested prayer
- a question to ponder
Life in our world can include uncertainty, anxiety and tragedy. In this context, the theological richness and profundity of God's salvation plan offers the believer confidence, comfort, clarity and perspective, to God's greater glory.
