Book excerpt: A right understanding of who God is and who man is the foundation for the proper view of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without an accurate understanding, we can never fully comprehend or appreciate the awesome sovereign grace of God. Does the Bible really teach the doctrines known as Calvinism? Are the concepts of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistable grace, and perserverance of the saints based merely on the speculations of theologians or are they actually found clearly revealed in Scripture? In this essential book, the reader is led through a fundamental study of Scripture to scrutinize what God declares concerning these vital doctrines. Whether lay Christian or clergy, we each need to struggle through these difficult questions with the assurance that the Holy Spirit of God will not reveal something in the Scriptures that is not important for God's people to understand, embrace, and benefit from. Come along and learn about the incredible sovereign grace of God!
Download or read book The Doctrines of Grace from the Lips of Our Lord written by J. D. Watson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of salvation is the watershed doctrine of Scripture. Flowing from that doctrine will be not only all other doctrine but also personal practice and Christian ministry. The major controversy concerning salvation is whether it is a result of the sovereign grace of God alone or a mixture of "God's part" and "man's part." Addressing that issue is absolutely critical to the very foundations of Christianity itself. Whichever one of those premises is correct, we should expect to find it everywhere we look in Scripture, and that is precisely what we find. There is no truth that permeates the Bible more than the doctrines of God's sovereign grace. From Genesis to Revelation, in literally hundreds of verses, these doctrines call, capture, and command our attention.Of the many books of the Bible we could choose, the Gospel of John is among the most compelling because of its foundational nature. It is there we find some of the most profound teaching on the Doctrines of Grace in all Scripture. Examining more than one hundred verses in John, this small volume presents these great biblical and historical doctrines directly from the lips of our Lord.
Download or read book The Doctrines of Grace written by James Montgomery Boice and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no question that we live in an age of weak theology and casual Christianity. We have substituted intuition for truth, feeling for belief and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Evangelicalism desperately needs to return to the doctrines that once before reformed the world: radical depravity, unconditional election, particular redemption, efficacious grace and persevering grace. James Boice and Philip Ryken not only provide a compelling exposition on these doctrines of grace, but also look briefly at their historical impact. The authors leave no doubt that the church suffers when these foundational truths are neglected and that she must return to a Christianity that is practical-minded, kind-hearted, and most importantly, biblically based.
Download or read book Still Sovereign written by Thomas R. Schreiner and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between divine sovereignty and the human will is a topic of perennial theological dispute and one that is gaining increased attention among contemporary evangelicals. In Still Sovereign, thirteen scholars write to defend the classical view of God's sovereignty. According to the editors, "Ours is a culture in which the tendency is to exalt what is human and diminish what is divine. Even in evangelical circles, we find increasingly attractive a view of God in which God is one of us, as it were, a partner in the unfolding drama of life. . . . In contrast, the vision of God affirmed in these pages is of one who reigns supreme over all, whose purposes are accomplished without fail, and who directs the course of human affairs, including the central drama of saving a people for the honor of his name, all with perfect holiness and matchless grace." The fourteen chapters of Still Sovereign (originally part of the two-volume, The Grace of God, the Bondage of the Will) are divided into three parts. Part 1 offers fresh exegesis of the biblical texts that bear most directly on the doctrines of election, foreknowledge, and perseverance of the saints. Part 2 explores theological and philosophical issues related to effectual calling, prevenient grace, assurance of salvation, and the nature of God's love. The final section applies the doctrines of election and divine sovereignty to Christian living, prayers, evangelism, and preaching.
Download or read book His Greater Workmanship written by Cecil C. Moore and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said that art is the signature of man. The signature of God is seen, not only in the material creation but, more so, in all true believers in Jesus Christ who are the object of His exquisite workmanship and the source of good works by which the whole world benefits. This mystery is revealed in the gospel of God and it is an exhilarating account of how the Holy Creator turned around a hopeless and dark situation for the human race into a glorious reality. The gospel was almost lost to the medieval Church but was recovered through the Protestant Reformation, 500 years ago. It is the good news that the nations need to hear today because it is in danger of becoming obscure again in this 21st century. In His Greater Workmanship, Cecil C. Moore illustrates, from his experience in the ceramic arts, the critical importance of understanding the Biblical doctrines of sovereign grace in order to avoid the pitfalls of the many false doctrines that have assailed historical Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Christians choose to have faith, or is faith a supernatural work of God? Far from an abstract intellectual exercise, this question has vast implications for the hope, joy, and assurance of the Christian life. When the truth of God's sovereign grace breaks into our minds and hearts, it changes everything. In What's So Great about the Doctrines of Grace? Dr. Richard D. Phillips takes us on a tour of the doctrines of grace, also known as the five points of Calvinism. With clear biblical exposition, he helps us to see the extent of our corruption in sin, to anchor our faith in the fullness of grace, and to trust in God's promise to finish what He started--the salvation of His people. When we rely on God's all-sufficient grace, we can truly live for His all-consuming glory.
Download or read book Doing God s Business God s Way written by George J. Zemek and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-04-20 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book calls all genuine disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, both vocational ministers and lay people, to serve our Savior by carrying out His marching orders His way. This demands that the doctrines of man, sin, salvation, the Word, and the Spirit have full sway in all that we do in the name of Christ. Whatever we are engaged in, whether witnessing to the lost or carrying out our various other responsibilities (e.g., preaching, teaching, counselling, and encouraging), we must be divinely directed by the practical implications of God's grace. Then we, as faithful channels, may joyously come to understand that it is God who causes any and all growth (1 Corinthians 3:6).

Download or read book Sovereign Grace written by Dwight Lyman Moody and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-04-17 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sovereign Grace" is a term often used in Christian theology to describe the concept of God's unmerited favor and saving power extended to humanity. It emphasizes that salvation is entirely the work of God, not dependent on human effort or merit. Dwight Lyman Moody, a prominent American evangelist and preacher in the 19th century, likely discussed this theological concept in his sermons and writings, emphasizing the central role of God's grace in the Christian faith. While there may not be a specific work titled "Sovereign Grace" by Moody, his teachings and sermons often touched on this fundamental aspect of Christian belief.
Download or read book The Sovereign Grace of God in Salvation written by John Roden and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Introduction, the author begins by giving a comprehensive Biblical definition of the grace of God, with relevant Scripture references and several quotes from famous authors. He then characterizes the grace of God as both awesome and amazing because of its sovereign character and transforming power in the lives of those who truly experience it. The practical fruits of the grace of God in the life of the true believer is a recurring theme throughout the book, particularly set forth in the chapter, "The Evidences of the New Birth." The first section of the book is devoted to explaining why the grace of God is so desperately needed by every human being. The fall of the human race through the sin of the first man Adam as described in Genesis 3 and Romans 5:12-19 is clearly set forth, followed by a detailed exposition of its consequences for Adam and all his posterity. There are many Scripture quotes and references given. It is a Biblical study of the doctrine of man's total depravity, and is the foundation of all that follows. The rest of the book develops the theme of the sovereign grace of each Person of the triune God in the salvation of lost sinners: sovereign election by God the Father, particular redemption by God the Son, and effectual calling by God the Holy Spirit. A key section of the book is a study of Romans 8:28-30, "God's Unbreakable Chain of Sovereign Grace," which is accompanied by a diagram illustrating this passage, and an appendix which gives an accurate Biblical definition of the foreknowledge of God, essential to properly understanding these verses. The final chapter of the book, titled "The Sovereign Grace of God in Securing Salvation," deals with the controversial subject of the security of the believer, examining it from both the Divine perspective (preservation by the triune God) and from the human perspective (the perseverance of the individual believer).

Download or read book Defending God s Sovereignty written by Sonny Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOREWORD As the title indicates, this book is a fresh, lively, hard-hitting defense of the doctrines of grace, popularly known as the "Five Points of Calvinism." It establishes the doctrines of grace as solidly biblical--the gospel of grace taught in Scripture. The defense consists of appeal to an abundance of biblical passages with their explanation. One may assail Hernandez with emotion, even outrage. He will not defeat him in the battle of the texts. The defense includes as well the refutation of the erroneous explanation of all the main passages of the Bible that are employed to attack the doctrines of grace and to promote the false gospel of salvation by the will and works of the sinner. Concerning II Peter 2:9, for example, a favorite text of all those who teach a will of God for the salvation of all humans without exception, Hernandez shows that the context and the text itself clearly reveal that the "all" of the text is all of "us," namely, the elect believers. In the nature of the case, the book is polemical. Not only does it war against the classic Arminian heresy exposed and condemned by the Reformed Synod of Dordt in the early 17th century and the false doctrine known as Amyraldianism, but it also contends with more recent compromises of grace, particularly compromises within the sphere of Reformed and Presbyterian churches. These include theologies that the author describes as "moderate Calvinism"; the theology of the "federal vision"; the doctrine of a "well-meant offer" of salvation to all hearers in a "common grace" of God to all humans. These and all related teachings have in common the extension of a saving grace of God to many humans that fails to save, implying that the cause of the salvation of those who are saved by the gospel is not the sovereign grace of God, but the will of the sinner. In the course of his polemic with the advocates of universal, ineffectual grace, Hernandez wards off the charge that his doctrine is "hyper-Calvinism." He defines the (real) threat of hyper-Calvinism accurately. He demonstrates that the sound, uncompromising confession of salvation by sovereign grace does not at all threaten, much less rule out, the promiscuous proclamation of the gospel and the urgent call to all hearers to repent and believe, with the promise that all who believe shall be saved.
