Ordo: the “ordo salutis” for everyone –
treasuring our Savior and his great salvation

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Romans 8:29-30

The ordo salutis (order of salvation) has long been used by theologians as a framework for understanding God’s application of salvation to sinners. Rather than considering the ordo as a sequence of events, it is better to view this as an “orderly” presentation of the relationships between the various aspects of soteriology. ORDO seeks to strengthen love and devotion to our Savior Jesus Christ by deepening our understanding of these vital doctrines.

Take Root Bear Fruit: reading the Bible for an Organic Understanding of Theology

Take Root, Bear Fruit is Mark’s first book, a theological treatise based on nine rich passages of Scripture. From these Mark organically discerns doctrinal content, using time-tested methods of Bible reading and study. Designed to target readers interesting in content deeper than a study Bible but not as technical as a full commentary, this would be a helpful resource for group or self-study.
