In Absolutely Free! Zane Hodges deals with a question that strikes at the heart of the Christian faith, “What must I do to be saved?” By examining various Bible passages, Hodges demonstrates that the answer is “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” This answer is in contrast to “lordship salvation” teaching which answers, “Surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.”
Hodges answers other key questions: “What does it mean to believe in Jesus Christ?” “How do I know I am really a Christian?” “Are all believers disciples?” “What is the biblical meaning of repentance and how does it relate to salvation?” The end result of this book motivates individuals to believe in Jesus for the absolutely free gift of eternal life and to serve Jesus out of gratitude for that free gift.
