=== Soteriology ===
In Lester Roloff's sermon, ''"Dr. Law and Dr. Grace."'', Roloff described the law as revealing humanity's sins and exposing their inability to attain righteousness through their own works. This understanding, he explained, serves to guide individuals toward grace, where they can find forgiveness and redemption.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Phil |date=2020-02-26 |title=Dr. Law and Dr. Grace by Lester Roloff - Are you living by grace? |url=https://roloff.org/dr-law-and-dr-grace/ |access-date=2025-01-12 |website=Roloff Evangelistic Enterprises |language=en-US}}</ref> Lester Roloff taught that one can only be saved through faith in Jesus Christ's shed blood and his atoning death, and that assurance of salvation is possible.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Phil |date=2020-02-25 |title=Foundations Of Faith |url=https://roloff.org/foundations-of-faith/ |access-date=2025-01-12 |website=Roloff Evangelistic Enterprises |language=en-US}}</ref> He strongly defended the doctrine of eternal security.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eternal Security |url=https://roloff.org/gmedia-gallery/eternal-security/ |access-date=2025-01-12 |website=Roloff Evangelistic Enterprises |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Health ===
Roloff's views on health from a biblical standpoint remain influential among some Christians today. He highly recommended raw, uncooked fruits, vegetables, eggs, and cheese, as well as fasting and drinking vegetable juice, and taught that the diet found in Leviticus chapter 11 should be followed. Other viewpoints on health included total abstinence from tobacco, alcohol, and television.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roloff |first1=Lester |title=Food, Fasting, and Faith |url=http://roloff.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Food-Fasting-and-Faith-edited.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504214431/http://roloff.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Food-Fasting-and-Faith-edited.pdf |archive-date=May 4, 2019 |accessdate=September 6, 2018 |website=Roloff.org}}</ref>

Roloff also advocated for a reform of modern medicine. He once said in a sermon, "We're looking for a color-coded new world: a green pill for anxiety, a yellow pill for frustration, an orange pill for unhappiness, a black pill for a bad day at the office, and a white one when all else fails ... I believe that these pills are not necessary; only because there's a certain man in this country that has failed to give the right pill. The preacher has not given the god-pill. Therefore, they're on every pill you can think of, and none of them are working."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roloff |first1=Lester |title=Healthy Living: Heaven's Menu |url=http://roloff.org/favorite-sermons/healthy-living/ |accessdate=September 6, 2018 |website=Roloff.org}}</ref>
