Reformed, More than a Word
Delivered on: 10 December 2017

To be reformed is to be about the Bible as a story of God's historic redemption in Christ which is advanced and understood by distinguishing covenants (grace and works or law and gospel). This covenantal story is about three actors working together who are Father Son and Holy Spirit. Another important factor in understanding the gospel is something known as the doctrines of grace which are also known as the five points of Calvinism. Having discussed sin, election and the cross, we now move into the concepts of the perseverance of the saints and irresistible grace. Does election teach that we are robots forced against our wills to respond to God? Can this free grace we receive be abandoned and or lost? What do we do with the texts about falling away? How do we reconcile God's sovereignty with our wills' place in humanity? (Various Scriptures)
