This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.

The Essence of the Freedom of the Gospel and God
The essence of the freedom of God is seen in the Gospel; however, most people are concerned about free will that is connected to man. But what if God has free will? The essence of the Gospel is the freedom of God, because the Gospel is free. He comes with the treasure of heaven to poor sinners; that is, His grace is irresistible and He saves us who are totally and radically corrupt. The Lord is free to save whom He pleases, but we know by Divine Scripture that He saves the many. Not everyone is included into His kingdom, but everyone of His people; that is, all the elect will come to Him in this life. God's free will is to keep us from sinning against Him or He may deliver a people over to their sins. He is free but He does not sin. The Gospel is free because God is free; that is, the Gospel is about God's work of redemption in and through our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ. Let us not focus on man-made religion but upon the awesome subject of the freedom of God. God's freedom is holy, matchless, sinless, and sovereign. When God's freedom runs into our freedom, we lose. God's freedom is ultimate and true. Amen.
