EHBC’s Statement of Belief, Article 11: God’s Purpose of Grace

Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. … All true believers endure to the end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end.

Today's Points:

1) The provision of election: Salvation by grace through faith.

2) The problem of election.

Conditional Election

Unconditional Election

Concurrent Election

3) The point of election.

4) The permanence of election.

“Take away free will and there will be nothing left to save; take away grace and there will be no means left of salvation.”

— Bernard of Clarivaux (1090-1153)

BF&M 2000, Article V: God’s Purpose of Grace

… It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connection with the end. It is the glorious display of God’s sovereign goodness, and is infinitely wise, holy, and unchangeable. It excludes boasting and promotes humility.
