Calvinism IS the Gospel

T:  The Bible speaks of our total depravity in sin in Romans 3:

¹⁰As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: ¹¹There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. ¹²They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. ¹³Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: ¹⁴Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ¹⁵Their feet are swift to shed blood: ¹⁶Destruction and misery are in their ways: ¹⁷And the way of peace have they not known: ¹⁸There is no fear of God before their eyes. ¹⁹Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. ²⁰Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

U:  The Bible speaks about unconditional election in Romans 9:

¹¹(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) ¹²It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. ¹³As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

L:  The Bible speaks about particular redemption in Matthew 1:

²¹And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

I:  The Bible speaks about irresistible grace in Titus 3:5:

⁵Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

P:  The Bible speaks about being kept by Jesus Christ in Jude 1:

To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: ² May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

We ought to conclude that we are dead in sin (Ephesians 2) but God elected us before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) and He died for the everyone of His people (Matthew 20:28).  He makes us born again (John 3) and keeps us to Himself (John 6:34-39).  This is the essence of the Gospel.
     We must know we are sinners and totally incapable of saving ourselves.  We must know that God has chosen a people unto Himself through His Son Jesus Christ.  This is the essence of free grace.  We must know that Jesus died for all the believing ones, and He gives us new hearts to believe.  We must know that He is not done with us but will see us through to the end.  Amen to His Gospel of free grace!
