Book Description

The Gospel Project: Saved: Life in the Face of Death - Bible Study Book includes a small group experience for six sessions, applicable Scripture, and individual study created for personal discipleship. Scripture, from beginning to end, declares that sin destroys. Because of the fall, life ends with death. But Scripture is equally clear that before time began, God planned a rescue mission. In the outworking of His plan, He calls sinners to salvation, service, and submission. We respond to His call with repentance from sin and faith in Jesus, whose life, death, and resurrection secure our salvation. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, we are united to Christ, from whom we receive life in the face of death. And the plan of the Father means assurance of salvation--life forevermore.
