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!

Is Spiritual Salvation By Good Works Alone? A Few Words on Freemasonry

There is no divine grace in Freemasonry but earning spiritual salvation through good works alone.  Spiritual salvation, however, in biblical Christianity is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.  Ephesians 2:8-10 says salvation is by grace through faith unto good works. 

Titus 3:5 says there is no righteous deeds but by God's transcendent mercy and compassion that He saves sinners.   Acts 1631 speaks of sole faith in our Lord Jesus Christ as our ultimate Savior and Deliverer.   Romans 3:21ff speaks of the divine righteousness of Christ alone that earned salvation for us and His perfect death that by His Spirit imputed divine righteousness compatible with the Father's standard of merit.  

Let us learn today that it cannot be by good works we are saved but by His glorious imputed righteousness as the sole foundation or grounds on how we are right with God.  There is no other merit or righteousness because the Father's desires His highest standard that is His divine Son and His set apart righteousness or merit.  May God open the minds of the Freemasons to comprehend the imputed merit of Christ alone for how someone is right with God!  Amen and amen.
