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!

Meditations on Sola Scriptura

2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
The Bible is all-sufficient; that is, it is what we need to know for spiritual salvation, faith, and morals.  It provides us with accurate wisdom of God that is divine truth.  The divine written Word of God is God-Breathed and it is sufficient for all good works.  What can be devoid of "all good works?"  The Bible is good enough to suffice for all good deeds.  Good deeds are not to be confused with merit.  There is no merit besides the unified merit of Jesus Christ in His life and death alone by faith alone.  We must stand by the merit of Christ alone and do good deeds to demonstrate our faith.  Good works do not add to our faith in God but it is through grace alone.
