On the Need for Sovereign Graciousness
Sovereign grace is not merely a doctrine to defend. It is a reality meant to transform the hearts of those who believe it. While contending for the true Gospel is necessary, Scripture calls Christians to do so with gentleness, humility, and respect. Too often, theological debates become battlegrounds where truth is spoken without love. Yet the same grace that saves sinners is meant to soften them. When we remember that we ourselves were rescued entirely by God’s mercy, our tone toward others changes. We still stand firmly for the truth, but we do so as grateful recipients of grace, reflecting the gentleness of Christ (1 Peter 3:15).

I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. I Corinthians 15:50 At first hearing, Paul’s words can sound harsh. Do they mean that human bodies have no place in God’s eternal kingdom? That everything physical must be discarded forever? Or is Paul … Continue reading Redeemed, Not Discarded: Flesh, Resurrection, and and the Hope of Glory
