The Foreknowledge of God – Part Two Foreknowledge defined  Now the word “foreknowledge” as it is used in the New Testament is less ambiguous than in its simple form “to know.” If every passage in which it occurs is carefully studied, it will be discovered that it is a moot point whether it ever has […]

The Foreknowledge of God – Part One WHAT CONTROVERSIES HAVE BEEN ENGENDERED BY THIS subject in the past! But what truth of Holy Scripture is there which has not been made the occasion of theological and ecclesiastical battles? The deity of Christ, His  virgin birth, His atoning death, His second advent; the believer’s justification, sanctification,

The Knowledge of God God’s omniscience GOD IS OMNISCIENT. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING: EVERYTHING possible, everything actual; all events and all creatures, of the past, the present, and the future. He is perfectly acquainted with every detail in the life of every being in heaven, in earth, and in hell. “He knoweth what is in the

The Decrees of God The Decree of God is His purpose or determination with respect to future things. We have used the singular number as Scripture does (Rom 8:28; Eph 3:11), because there was only one act of His infinite mind about future things. But we speak as if there had been many, because our

The Sovereignty Of God In Operation: Part Four “For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be the glory forever. Amen”(Rom. 11:22). God’s Method Of Dealing With The Wicked Another equally striking illustration of God directing the wicked is found in Isaiah 10:5-7: “O Assyrian, the rod of Mine

The Sovereignty Of God In Operation: Part Three “For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be the glory forever. Amen”(Rom. 11:22). God’s Method Of Dealing With The Wicked In contemplating God’s governmental dealings with the non-elect we find that He exerts upon them a fourfold influence or power.

The Sovereignty Of God In Operation: Part Two “For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be the glory forever. Amen”(Rom. 11:22). God’s Method Of Dealing With The Righteous 1. God exerts upon His own elect a quickening influence or power. By nature they are spiritually dead, dead in

The Sovereignty Of God In Operation: Part One “For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be the glory forever. Amen”(Rom. 11:22). Has God foreordained everything that comes to pass? Has He decreed that what is, was to have been? In the final analysis this is only another way

The Sovereignty Of God In Reprobation: Part Eight “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God”(Rom. 11:22). That the Doctrine of Reprobation is a “hard saying” to the carnal mind is readily acknowledged-yet, is it any “harder” than that of eternal punishment? That it is clearly taught in Scripture we have sought to demonstrate, and
