Saved by Grace
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
A comprehensive, dynamic, and eminently practical presentation of the biblical teaching on salvation. In discussing the facets of the working out of salvation—the role of the Spirit, union with Christ, the gospel call, regeneration, conversion, repentance, and so on—Hoekema does away with the classical ordo salutis (“order of salvation”) by viewing these facets largely as simultaneous aspects in the process of salvation rather than sequential steps on the way to salvation.

Top Highlights
“The chief role of the Holy Spirit in the process of our salvation is to make us one with Christ.” (Page 28)
“‘These benefits [involved in our salvation] can be distinguished but cannot be separated; like faith, hope, and love they form a triple cord which cannot be broken.’17 We should therefore abandon the concept of an order of salvation as an attempt to impose a chronological order on a unitary work of God which does not admit of being divided into successive steps.” (Page 15)
“This teaching about the ‘carnal Christian,’ however, must be rejected, because it describes a type of Christian the Bible nowhere recognizes.” (Page 21)
“The concept of the ‘carnal Christian’ suggests that one can receive Christ as Savior without receiving him as Lord.” (Page 22)
“In the present volume, however, soteriology or ‘the doctrine of salvation,’ as it is more commonly called, will be understood as including only the study of the application of the blessings of salvation to the people of God, and their restoration to God’s favor and to a life of fellowship with him in Christ. It should be understood that this application is the work of the Holy Spirit, though it must be appropriated by faith.” (Page 3)
In a day when thoroughgoing study of the doctrine of salvation has been jettisoned as impractical and irrelevant by the church at large, Saved by Grace serves an essential purpose. . . . If you want your mind challenged by the lucid exposition of Scripture in relationship to the technicalities of God’s saving work, if you want your passion rekindled regarding the manifold grace of God in the salvation of sinners, this book is for you. Buy it. Absorb it. Make its contents the preeminent message of your ministry.
