The Truth About Salvation 3: The Operation of Salvation

The Truth About Salvation 3: The Operation of Salvation is the fourth and final course in Mary Banks' acclaimed Truth About Salvation series. Building on the foundational teachings of the previous three courses, this study takes believers deep into the literal spiritual mechanics of what happens at salvation. Rather than treating the born-again experience as symbolic, this course reveals it as a precise, divine sequence that mirrors the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Across four structured lessons, students explore the putting off of the old man through spiritual circumcision, the creation of the new creature as the soul is placed into the Holy Ghost, and the putting on of the new man as Christ takes up residence in the believer's body. Each lesson is grounded in careful Scripture exposition drawn from Ephesians 4:22-24, Romans 6, Galatians 2:20, John 17, and other key passages, with the King James Version as the primary text. Students will gain doctrinal clarity on topics including the body of sin, the circumcision of the heart, the renewal of the soul, oneness with God, and the mystery of Christ living through His Church. The course also addresses the profound truth that Christ prolongs His days on earth through the bodies of believers, making every saved person a living vessel of His ministry and righteousness. Designed for serious Bible students and disciples who want more than surface-level teaching, this course includes self-evaluations, interactive activities, extended study tasks, and journaling prompts to ensure transformative, practical application. Whether studied individually or in a group setting, it equips believers with a renewed sense of identity, purpose, and devotion as sons and daughters of God.
