The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Free Mercy, Free Grace, Free Love, Free Compassion

The nature of the gospel is that it is free.  It is free mercy; that is, God saves us not on the basis of our effort or works or sacraments, but He saves us on the basis of His free mercy.  Many think in our day that we must earn our way to heaven, but such would cancel out free grace.

God offers His pre-converted elect people His love through Jesus Christ.  God offers His people free compassion and loving-kindnesses which is the basis for repentance.  That is, it is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance.  Amen.
