What do you say to God's Word about salvation through Jesus Christ? Dr. Barnhouse addresses this question of life and death on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

A baseball player on first base wants to score a run, but he may not make it. He could be caught stealing or the next batter could make the third out, or he could be tagged out before reaching home plate. But God has determined that everyone of His children will make it home.

A weak link can break the chain that holds a ship to its anchor, and the ship would be swept out to sea. God has taken the likes of foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification and glorification and forged a golden chain that secures our eternal salvation. But many Christians weaken God's golden chain through an improper understanding of one or more of these links. Do you have a biblical understanding of the vital link of justification?
