Degrees of Sin and Eternal Punishment

The Bible teaches that some sins are more severe than others and that God administers varying degrees of punishment (Luke 20:47; John 19:11). Consequently, some unbelievers will endure greater suffering in the lake of fire than others. The lake of fire and all its suffering is entirely avoidable for those who accept God’s free gift of eternal life, for “whoever believes in Him shall not perish…

Romans 8 Practical Application

Life Through the SpiritTherefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned…

You are foreknown

This is the second in a series of excerpts from the new MBC resource, “What Every Christian Should Know About Salvation,” available at mobaptist.org/apologetics.

__________

God knows everything, which means nothing surprises Him. Satan’s brash rebellion didn’t catch the Creator off guard. Neither did Adam’s fall send the Lord into divine panic, forcing Him to sacrifice His Son in a desperate…

  God’s Purpose

Romans 8:28-30

What is the purpose of life? Throughout human history, people have been trying to answer that question. Books have been written on the subject, and philosophers have postulated many answers. But for Christians, God’s purpose is concisely outlined in today’s passage.

Believers are called according to His purpose and are foreknown by Him. God’s foreknowledge is much…

God Works All Things Together for Good

The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Christians in Rome, acknowledged “the sufferings of this present time” (Rom 8:18), our inner “groaning” (Rom 8:23), and our “weakness” as humans (Rom 8:26). However, he shifted the focus away from our difficulties and onto God, stating, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according…

The Doctrine of Election

The Doctrine of Election

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.

(Eph. 1:4-5)      I struggled with the doctrine of election for over twenty years. Like most, I believed God’s election (or selection) of individuals to salvation was…

TO MISS BRECKENRIDGE: On the problem in prayer of God’s foreknowledge; and on the Fall and evolution.

1 August 1949

Don’t bother about the idea that God ‘has known for millions of years exactly what you are about to pray’. That isn’t what it’s like. God is hearing you now, just as simply as a mother hears a child. The difference His timelessness makes is that this now(which slips away from you…
