The Mystery of Salvation

The Mystery of Salvation is a three-chapter study guide by Dr. Mary Banks that takes readers on a carefully guided journey through one of Scripture's most profound and often misunderstood truths: the full scope of what happens to a person at salvation. Drawing exclusively from the King James Version of the Bible, Dr. Banks unpacks the distinction between body, soul, and spirit, demonstrating that it is the soul, not the flesh, that bears responsibility for sin and cries out to God for deliverance. Chapter One, The Saving of the Soul, establishes the soul as the true inner man and explores what it means to believe unto salvation, grounding the discussion in Romans, Hebrews, and the Gospel of John. Chapter Two, We Are Not in the Flesh, presents the revolutionary truth that the born-again believer has been spiritually circumcised and is no longer identified with the old fleshly nature, but is now alive in the Spirit. Chapter Three, Putting on the New Man, calls readers to walk in the resurrected identity they have received in Christ, understanding the body as a temple now indwelt and governed by the Spirit of God. This study guide is ideal for believers who want to move beyond surface-level salvation theology and grasp the deeper mystery of union with Christ. It is particularly suited for small group Bible study, personal devotional study, or discipleship training. Dr. Banks writes with apostolic authority, pastoral clarity, and a passion for grounding every insight in Scripture, making this an essential resource for anyone serious about understanding what it truly means to be a new creation in Christ Jesus.
