Can a true Christian lose his salvation? If he cannot, then is there a danger of moral liberty? It has been many years since a comprehensive book on the doctrine of eternal security has been published. This unusual book, The Reign of the Servant Kings, approaches the subject from a distinct and refreshing perspective which draws heavily from the viewpoints of both Calvinist and Arminian interpreters. In what one New Testament professor called a "classic," and a seminary president described as "brilliant," Joseph Dillow gives us a powerful defense of the biblical teaching that salvation cannot be lost. However, he goes beyond doctrine to life. What are the practical effects of such a doctrine? Setting his discussion in the broader context of the final significance of man, he provides a highly invigorating and motivating framework for understanding the meaning of human life and how and why we should live in the Spirit. The author offers a perceptive analysis of the malaise affecting Western Christianity. Spiritual lethargy and the quest for affluence have all but dominated our lives. Why? While the church has always been influenced by the surrounding culture, Dillow argues that this is not the only cause of our impotent witness. Many Christians have lost their spiritual motivation simply because they have no vision for the Great Future. Our pulpits have failed to challenge us with the ultimate significance of human life, participation with King Jesus in the final destiny of man. We do not live lives from an eternal perspective. Historically, the problems of spiritual motivation have been addressed in two different ways. On the one hand, those of an Arminian perspective (believing that salvation can be lost) have warned the indolent of forfeiture of their justification. The heirs of the Westminster Confession, on the other hand, have challenged those who are lethargic in their commitments to re-examine their foundations, as they may not be saved after all. Dillow argues that the latter approach in particular has actually contributed to the very carnality against which it rails. This controversial and paradoxical conclusion is carefully set forth in a sustained and reasoned appeal to the New Testament, in a thoroughly biblical alternative. Spiritual motivation is grounded in a sense of unconditional acceptance by God and the certainty that our lives have eternal significance. The Reign of the Servant Kings is a book about the certain salvation of the Christian. The issues of faith, assurance, eternal rewards, and spiritual motivation are interwoven into a stimulating look at the final destiny of man.
