Top Highlights
“He wants to reproduce in His followers the character of His Son—His love, His kindness, His compassion, His holiness, His humility, His unselfishness, His servant attitude, His willingness to suffer wrongfully, His ability to forgive, and so much more that characterized His life on earth.” (Page 264)
“Nowhere in Scripture is the Law of Moses ever said to have been given to the church. Only when the church’s program is not seen as distinct from Israel’s can it be said that the Law was given to the church.” (Page 237)
“Covenant theology is a system developed by two men, Johannes Cocceius (1603–1669) and Hermann Witsius (1636–1708). It was an attempt to tie the Old and New Testaments together by two covenants. The first was called the covenant of works, defined as the covenant instituted by God with Adam after creation. This was abrogated by the Fall and was replaced by the covenant of grace. The covenant of grace is the covenant of salvation, a single covenant for all men after the Fall.9 Thus the unifying feature of the Bible in this system is God’s grace. An evaluation of the hermeneutical base for this system will be given later.” (Page 248)
“Therefore, Paul wrote in Romans 10:9 that unbelieving Jews must confess that Jesus is the Lord—that He is God Himself. The emphasis here is not on making Jesus Lord (Master) of one’s life but on recognizing His true identity—that He is God. If a person does not believe Jesus is God, he will die in his sins (John 8:24). In Romans 10:9 the issue is not obedience in recognition of Jesus’ sovereignty; the issue is who He is—the recognition of His deity. The subject is salvation, not service.” (Pages 39–40)
