1 | Doctrines of Grace | Is 14:24 | DocTrinsograce | 209448 | ||
"What are the 'doctrines of grace' and why do they matter? Such is like asking, 'What does the Bible teach about the very heart of the gospel, and does it matter one way or the other?' The doctrines of grace are the biblical teachings that define the goal and means of God's perfect work of redemption. They tell us that God is the one who saves, for His own glory, and freely. And they tell us that He does so only through Christ, only on the basis of His grace, only with the perfection that marks everything the Father, Son, and Spirit do. The doctrines of grace separate the Christian faith from the works-based religions of men. They direct us away from ourselves and solely to God's grace and mercy. They destroy pride, instill humility, and exalt God. And that's why so many invest so much time in the vain attempt to undermine their truth. The religions of men maintain authority over their followers by 1) limiting God's power, 2) exalting man's abilities, and 3) 'channeling' God's power through their own structures. A perfect salvation that is freely bestowed by God for His own glory is not a 'system' that can be controlled by a religious body or group. And even more importantly, such a system is destructive of any sense of pride in the creature man, and if there is anything man's religions must safeguard, it is man's 'self esteem.'" --Dr. James White See also the sermons of Charles Spurgeon on the Doctrines of Grace: http://www.spurgeongems.org/grace.htm In Him, Doc (Post #7000) |
