IMAGE OF SALVATION

The student will complete a theological essay that will address the relationship of human
sinfulness to an aspect of the doctrine of salvation.
INSTRUCTIONS
Students will examine one of the biblical images of salvation (adoption, conversion,
regeneration, redemption, reconciliation, justification, election, sanctification, or glorification)
and define and describe the doctrine with its biblical, historical and theological contours as well
as discuss how this image of salvation relates to and addresses the problem of sin. Finally, the
student will apply the implications of this doctrine to the Christian life and for the student’s
chosen vocation. The essay will be 750-1000 words and the formatting should be compatible
with your current degree program.
