The Doctrine of Absolute Incapability (Chosen Scriptures) [Audio Only] – John MacArthur
‘We’ve embarked upon a beautiful research of some crucial doctrines on these Sunday nights. And from my viewpoint, it’s form of open ended. I’m simply form of following the stream and seeing the place it goes. However I’m having a beautiful time. As you properly know by means of all these years, we predominantly, if not nearly at all times, work by means of texts of scripture, and that method we’re obligated to affirm what the Phrase of God says as a result of it’s what it says. And there’s at all times the, I suppose, potential accusation that whenever you go away the stream of expositional preaching and also you embark upon a topical research or a doctrinal research, chances are you’ll be caught up in one thing philosophical, chances are you’ll be caught up in one thing rational, or one thing logical and chances are you’ll be drawing conclusions that wouldn’t stand the take a look at of scripture.
And so I wish to affirm to you that every part that I say I belief will probably be earlier than your very eyes drawn out of scripture. And I’d encourage you, just like the noble Bereans, to perform a little work your self and search the scripture and see if this stuff are so. I actually don’t wish to convey to you a rational theology, though it’s not irrational. I don’t wish to convey to you a philosophical strategy to theology. I don’t wish to comply with the trail of human purpose to conclude the issues we conclude. I wish to convey you what the Phrase of God has to say and the Phrase of God does communicate to those very, crucial doctrinal points.
Simply by means of temporary overview, we began out once we ended the e-book of Jude, by wanting on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints or the preservation of the saints. That’s to say that in case you’re ever saved, you’ll at all times have the hope of everlasting life. You can’t ever be unsaved. You possibly can’t lose your salvation, as a result of he is ready to preserve us from falling and to current us earlier than his presence with nice glory. That’s how Jude ends…” from the Transcript
