When we consider eternal salvation, as Primitive Baptists we simply take Jesus at his word on the cross when he declared “It Is Finished”! We must then ask, what did Jesus actually finish on the cross? Did Christ just do his part of salvation and now he is waiting and dependent upon the sinner to believe to actually be fully saved? No, the Bible teaches that Jesus completed all the requirements for eternal salvation on the cross. Let us consider together the many verses that present the “past tense” nature of our eternal salvation – that Jesus has “finished” our eternal salvation and we rest in Jesus’ finished work of salvation today.

Basic Bible Doctrines: Systematic Theology for the Person in the Pew was written by Michael Gowens, and a revised edition was released in 2015.
“Every Christian should be a systematic theologian. Each should be able to formulate the core truths of the Bible in an orderly arrangement so as to form the big picture portrayed in God’s word. It is not enough for Christians to simply store bits and pieces of Bible trivia about various subjects, or to simply derive comfort from selected passages of Scripture. A truly robust discipleship is the product of a mind that thinks theologically. Doctrine is vital.”
