[140] TULIP Feb 27, 2020

Show notes

The five Reformed doctrines represented by the acrostic TULIP all logically go together. Because we are totally depraved, God’s election must be unconditional. Christ’s atonement must be limited in extent or our salvation would depend on us, which is impossible because of total depravity. Similarly, God’s grace must be irresistible or a totally depraved person will always reject it. Finally, God causes his chosen people to be born again and, as new creations, they will persevere in the faith. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/140-tulip/

[139] Christ’s Sacrifice Accomplished Salvation Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

Libertarian free will would not preserve human responsibility, it would destroy it. The Bible teaches that man has compatibilist freedom; we are free to do what we want to do, but our choices are constrained by our nature. We are all fully accountable to God, but our liability may be limited by our knowledge. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/139-christs-sacr…lished-salvation/

[138] The Gospel is the Power of God for Salvation Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

Man’s natural inability to respond to the gospel in repentance and faith does not limit his responsibility before God. What is offered in the gospel is salvation, full and complete, not merely the opportunity to be saved. But we must be born again. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/138-the-gospel-i…od-for-salvation/ ‎

[137] Christ Died Only for the Elect Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

Christ died to save his chosen people, the elect, not to make salvation possible for everyone. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/137-christ-died-only-for-the-elect/

[136] Limited Atonement Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

All true Christians believe that the atonement was limited because they agree that not everyone will be saved. They also agree that Christ’s sacrifice was of more than sufficient worth to pay for the sins of every person. The real question in dispute is, “For whom did Christ die?” If he died for all, then his death was not efficacious for anyone, it was limited in its effectiveness. The biblical position is that he died only for the elect. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/136-limited-atonement/

[135] Christ’s Redeeming Sacrifice Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

Christ’s sacrifice redeems us from our bondage to sin. We are no longer subject to the curse of law or required to keep the ceremonial law. Although Christians do physically die, death is gain, it brings us into the presence of God. And we have the power to not sin, we can lead victorious lives. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/135-christs-redeeming-sacrifice/

[134] Christ’s Propitiatory Sacrifice Jan 16, 2020

Show notes

God wrath abides on sinners, but Christ’s sacrifice propitiates his wrath and reconciles us to God. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/134-christs-propitiatory-sacrifice/ ‎

[133] Christ’s Atoning Sacrifice Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

Christ’s sacrifice of himself was the ultimate, once for all, efficacious sacrifice that paid for the sins of everyone who will trust in him for salvation. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/podcast/133-christs-atoning-sacrifice/ ‎

[132] We are Saved by the Obedience of Christ Jan 02, 2020

Show notes

Christ accomplished our redemption in obedience to the Father. We are saved by being united to Christ by faith. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/132-we-are-saved…dience-of-christ/ ‎

[131] God Saves and Preserves His People Dec 26, 2019

Show notes

God irresistibly saves his people through regeneration, which changes our hearts so that we willingly repent of our sins and trust in Jesus Christ for our salvation. God also promises to preserve all those whom he has saved. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/131-god-saves-an…erves-his-people/ ‎
