The doctrine of salvation is the watershed doctrine of Scripture. Flowing from that doctrine will be not only all other doctrine but also personal practice and Christian ministry. The major controversy concerning salvation is whether it is a result of the sovereign grace of God alone or a mixture of "God's part" and "man's part." Addressing that issue is absolutely critical to the very foundations of Christianity itself.
Whichever one of those premises is correct, we should expect to find it everywhere we look in Scripture, and that is precisely what we find. There is no truth that permeates the Bible more than the doctrines of God's sovereign grace. From Genesis to Revelation, in literally hundreds of verses, these doctrines call, capture, and command our attention.
Of the many books of the Bible we could choose, the Gospel of John is among the most compelling because of its foundational nature. It is there we find some of the most profound teaching on the Doctrines of Grace in all Scripture. Examining more than one hundred verses in John, this small volume presents these great biblical and historical doctrines directly from the lips of our Lord.
Industry Reviews
""I've read all my favorite theological titans on this most important Bible theme, and no one outside the covers of Holy Writ explains it more convincingly than J. D. 'Doc' Watson.""
--JD Wetterling, author of No Time to Waste
""How God saves the sinner is what is at stake, and what the Bible says on this subject is clearly outlined in the doctrines of grace. Often, this life-changing teaching is dismissed as a man-made system; but in this excellent book, Doc Watson has convincingly demonstrated that God himself is the source of these truths, that salvation by grace alone was clearly articulated by the Lord Jesus Christ. Careful attention to the words of Christ will result in a newfound appreciation for the great grace of God and his great salvation.""
--James Bearss, President, On Target Ministry
""In a concise but comprehensive fashion, Doc Watson demonstrates how the doctrines of grace permeate the gospel of belief. As I read this book, I was vividly reminded of how saving grace is sovereign grace, as set forth right from the lips of our Lord. Your love for John's Gospel will flourish by seeing the glorious flow of the doctrines of grace as they are carefully presented through each key passage. To grow in grace (2 Pet 3:18) is to grasp the wonder of saving grace, and this book will help you do just that.""
--Kevin Kottke, Pastor, Plainfield Bible Church,
""Don't let the size of this book deter you from its value. In a time of shallow thinking and human-centered reasoning, Doc Watson profoundly expounds the undeniable, essential truths of the doctrines of grace in the Gospel of John. He approaches these teachings in a fresh and convincing manner, and compares them with the weak reasoning and practices that pervade most Christian thinking today. This is what every Christian should know!""
--Jim Bryant, Pastor, Grace Bible Chapel
