A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY

The Bible,
where it has been accepted and obeyed, has produced marked changes for good in
every area of life. Note the following examples:
1. Influence
upon Individuals. Everyone who has accepted by faith the Bible’s message of
redemption has experienced the change which is called regeneration or the new
birth. This change effects a new nature within the believer. In evaluating this
change it is essential to understand that it does not eradicate the original
sinful nature; the believer still retains the ability of wrong-doing. The new birth
does not produce a perfect character, but it does infuse a new principle of spiritual
life, which if nurtured will give power over sinful habits and tendencies. Not
all believers experience the same degree of change in the manner of life, simply
because all do not submit to this new nature in the same degree. Every Christian
community can produce examples of conversions of men or women who had formerly
been outstanding criminals or addicts of immorality but who are now living
decent and helpful lives. The transformation in these lives is attributable
directly to the Bible. For the reason already given Christians are far from
perfect in many cases, but there can be no doubt concerning the salutary influence
of the Bible upon even the most immature believer.
