Subject: Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Lionheart, The way I'd put it is that the Gospel is simple. There really isn't anything simple about salvation. It is entirely a work of God, start to finish, and was a more difficult, costly, and mysterious work than all of His other works put together. For clarity, we must distinguish in our language when we are talking about the Gospel message and when we are talking about God's work of salvation. Faith and repentance are always a consequence when God regenerates one of His own. God's grace in salvation is always effectual. God's eternal purpose can never be thwarted by anyone or anything. In Him, Doc |
