I am reading a book right now called (see above, I don't feel like putting all the dots in again) by Jim Osterhouse... It's good, so I thought I would inscribe the basics:
F: Fallen Humanity
Man is fallen. Dead (100% gone) and unable to help themselves. God was needed to save us.
A: Adopted By God
We are all called sons of God (even the girls, this is important because when the Bible was written the men inherited more). Adoption is much different then living in an orphanage, God is our father!
I: Intentional Atonement
Jesus didn't die on accident, it was planed before time began.
T: Transformed by the Holy Spirit
We are changed when we accept Christ. The Holy Spirit is pouring love into our hearts. (abbreviated Romans 5:5)
H: Held by God
When my little sister is scared she wants to be held by someone bigger and older, usually mom or dad. When we are scared we are held by God.
There it is... "a fresh look at the reformed faith"
