Free Teaching Resources on the Reformed Theology of Salvation
The biblical teachings of Reformed theology on salvation are foundational truths for the Christian life, since they enable us to understand how salvation is graciously given by God from eternity past to eternity future. These truths enable us to ascribe to God all the glory due His name for the great things He has done.
This area of biblical doctrine is also called Reformed soteriology or Calvinism, because John Calvin (1509–1564) taught the Bible on this topic with unique clarity and in a systematic fashion. It is also associated with the five points of Calvinism—a list of five doctrines formulated after Calvin’s death to combat a list of five biblical errors—and Augustinianism, because these teachings were already present in the church when Saint Augustine (354–430) rebuked the errors concerning salvation taught by a theologian named Pelagius. These truths are also simply called the doctrines of grace.
Ultimately, as the prince of preachers, Charles H. Spurgeon, once said, “Calvinism is nothing more than a nickname for Biblical Christianity,” which is to say that the truths of Reformed theology find their source and foundation in the Holy Bible.
