OVERVIEW This theological essay will address the relationship of human sinfulness to an aspect of the doctrine of salvation. You will examine one of the biblical images of salvation (adoption, conversion, regeneration, redemption, reconciliation, justification, election, sanctification, or glorification) and define and describe the doctrine with its biblical, historical and theological contours as well as discuss how this image of salvation relates to and addresses the problem of sin. Finally, you will apply the implications of this doctrine to the Christian life and for your chosen vocation.
