"Christians often misunderstand the nature of God. This leads to misunderstandings about the nature of salvation. For this reason, the question "Saved from what?" can be a challenge to answer. In this book, Dr. R.C. Sproul explains why the atonement was necessary and why we are fundamentally saved from a holy God in salvation. The heart of this book is to help evangelicals understand the gospel. But in order to do that, they must first understand the character of God.

In part three, Dr. Sproul concludes the book by explaining the purpose of our salvation. All Christians are called to live for Christ and are adopted into Him.
