"How does Jesus save us by dying on the cross?"

One night, as Josh McNall was talking with his young daughter before bedtime, she asked him this seemingly simple question. How would you answer?

The fact that "Jesus saves" is perhaps the most basic claim of Christianity. Theologians and scholars refer to the way Jesus saves us as the atonement. the follow-up question—How does he save?—demands the attention not just of theologians but of every Christ follower. How exactly does a brutal and shameful crucifixion bring salvation? Why does the Bible call it good news, and why should we?

In How Jesus Saves, McNall—professor and host of the podcast Outpost Theology—answers common questions and resolves misunderstandings that many people have about the atonement. You'll explore questions like:

Through Scripture, story, and real-life applications, McNall addresses this great Christian doctrine with simplicity without sacrificing the nuance it demands.

Clear and readable, How Jesus Saves will deepen your faith and commitment as a Christian, giving you the comprehension and confidence you need to explain the atonement not only to your curious loved ones but also to skeptics who might challenge your faith.

This book includes reflection questions at the end of each chapter.

John Wesley's advice to his preachers was always to focus their efforts on proclaiming the gospel of salvation. "You have nothing to do but to save souls," Wesley told them. "Therefore spend and be spent in this work." He understood this mission to be central to the Methodist revival.

Contrary to some contemporary views of salvation, Wesley always resisted any tendency to dilute salvation's meaning into something that the believer only experiences after death. Indeed, he taught that the biblical meaning of salvation rightly encompasses "the entire work of God, from the first dawning of grace in the soul, till it is consummated in glory." Salvation is certainly something that people can experience in eternity, but it begins here and now in this present life.

Making All Things New is a collection of nine sermons by John Wesley that cover the way of salvation as he understood and communicated it. Included are sermons that empathize the preventing, justifying, sanctifying, perfecting, and glorifying work of God's grace in the lives of Christian believers.
