Get the Salvation Tally Challenge Guide Here
The picture of salvation may vary among the world’s religions, but most of the faithful are looking for some form of salvation or rescue. Many hope to be ultimately saved from these flawed and failing earthly vessels and long to find themselves in a better situation on the other side of this existence.
With the many contradicting voices confidently claiming to know the answers to our salvation questions, the STC is your opportunity to not only gain clarity regarding eternal life but to breathe in the tranquility of truth on salvation from the ultimate source of truth. The foundation of the STC is Christ’s position of authority over all things, including the most consequential topic of salvation.
Upon STC embarkment, you’ll find yourself immersed in an engaging outdoor adventure-themed storyline. This is intended to welcome you as part of our ascent crew and cheer you through a most worthwhile endeavor. As you climb your salvation mountain, you will be challenged to think for yourself to reach the summit. The STC is aptly named a challenge. Still, completion of the STC will take the average person less time to conquer than is required to physically complete the 14er mountain adventure featured in the STC.
During the STC, you will explore a wide array of salvation-relevant Gospel passages with the STC being the fruit of an exhaustive search for this variety of Gospel Scripture. Nevertheless, the challenge is designed to efficiently explore and evaluate each salvation-relevant Gospel passage to fully illuminate the Jesus gist on salvation.
Instead of being told what to think, you will be challenged to tally each salvation-relevant Gospel passage. In how many Gospel passages does Jesus indicate that salvation, or the lack thereof, is mainly contingent upon faith? How many of the STC passages are works centric? After completing all 12 segments, you will have a works-to-faith ratio tally to support your Gospel-based perspective on the relationship between faith, works, and salvation.
A layperson may sporadically misinterpret Jesus’ intent here or there. But fear not regarding the validity of your tally from the wide-angle STC purview. Jesus talked about salvation to such a great extent that His overarching messaging is impossible to miss unless one does not consider all of His commentary. The simple STC math will reveal the beautiful truth in numbers with Christ at the origin.
The STC is intended to work in tandem with Salvation: What Did Jesus Say, but anyone who can access a Bible can accept this challenge. Salvation: What Did Jesus Say has much to offer including perspective on the significance of the works-to-faith ratio. You may consider securing a copy, especially if many of the passages seem salvation irrelevant – or perhaps if you are seeking to dive deeper into the topic of salvation and are interested in the STC backstory.
