  17. BAPTIST DOCTRINE-Lesson-#2 GOD-MAN SALVATION-GRACE

  18. DOCTRINE OF GOD • Is there a God or not? • How do we answer an atheist who says there is no God? • To say there is no God one would have to have all knowledge. Ask if they have such. No. • Say that you are going to be generous and give that person the benefit of having half the knowledge in world. Then say to that person could not God exist in that half of knowledge that they know nothing about. • Have scientists disproved God? “Ninety percent of all astronomers today believe in God.” • Quote:Pierre Simon de La Place(greatest astronomer) said, “The evidence for God as opposed to the evidence against him as the Creator of this universe was as infinity to one.”

  19. Doctrine of God • There is “one and only on living and true God.” • There are not many different gods in the world. • Gen.1:1 “In the beginning God created..” • Isa.45:22 “For I am God, and there is none else” • Exod.3:14 “God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM (the one that always was and forever will be…the Self-Existing One) • Ps.19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth forth His handywork.” • Eph.4:6 “One God and Father of all, who is above all and through all, and in you all.”

  25. #2- CREATION & THE FALL OF MAN • The Creation of Man and World Thought • Evolutionist call man “a cosmic accident” • Quote:”For something to be its own creation, it would have to be and not to be at the same time.”-Dr.R.C. Sproul • The odds of spontaneous regeneration • Fossils tell no tales

  26. Creation of Man • Man’s Origin –Gen.2;7 and Gen 3: • Man is the highest of creation • The world reverses the order • Man’s character-spirit- soul- body • Man’s body returns to ground • Man’s spirit returns to God. • Eccles.12:7 • II Cor.5;8 • Phil.1:21/23 • Matt.17:3 • John 11:26

  28. The Purpose of All Creation • God’s Glory is seen in Creation • God’s Glory is seen in the Redeemed • God’s Glory is seen perfectly in Jesus • Redeemed man is still to express God’s Glory The Plan-Death To Self The Perverted Ways to give Glory Roller Coaster Rd Abnegation Avenue Education Expressway Dedication drive

  29. God’s Plan for Man to Give Him Glory • “The resources for the Christian life are just-Jesus.” Charles Trumbull • Col.1:27 “Christ in you, the hope of Glory.” • Eph.3:17 “that Christ should dwell in your hearts by faith.” • Gal.2:20 “it is no longer I, but Christ that liveth in me.” • “Reckon on the fact and then realize it.”

  31. THE FALL OF MAN • Did God Test Man in the Garden • Satan laid his plans well • Worked on weakest person • Made them doubt God’s word • Made up lies about God and them • Made sin look good

  32. The Results of Sin • The sin problem is cosmic not local • Sin=Greek –Hamartia=means to miss the mark as in archery. Rom.3:23 • Sin Results In Alienation • Alienation Between God and Man • Alienation Between Man and Man • Alienation Between Man and Himself

  33. The Tribunal for Sin • They were prosecuted before god • Their Plea was to make excuses • Their Punishment was extensive • Satan was doomed-Gen.3;15 • Woman was given sorrow and pain in childbirth and subordinate to man • Man was given painful toil, thorns, and hard struggles and death

  34. INGREDIENTS OF FAITH • Definition of Faith-See Heb.11:1”Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” • First Ingredient: CONTENT OF FAITH • Second Ingredient:ASSENT • Third Ingredient:TRUST • Illustration: The Chair • Greek Word: pisteou=denotes reliance, trust, belief • Quote:J.Oswald Smith-People’s Church “Many believe who have never trusted.”

  35. ROMAN CATHOLIC God declares a person justified when he indeed he is just. Infusion of Grace Grace can come by Two sacrements Baptism and Penance PROTESTANT VIEW The instrument of cause of faith alone. Imputation of Grace Double Imputation= Christ’s righteousness and Death put on our Account Not Antinomian Faith SAVING FAITH-Two Views

  36. Three Types of Faith • Saving Faith • A recognition of salvation from the penalty of sin (John 3:16-18) • Living Faith • A deliverance from the power of sin (James 1:2,3) • Working Faith • A demonstration of the fruit of regeneration (Eph. 2:10)

  37. LIVING FAITH • Faith is living, dynamic, life-changing • Not faith without works/evidence • We are saved by faith and live by faith: • The Way of Death with Christ-Takes Faith • The Way of Life in Christ-Takes Faith • The Way of Approprriation is faith • True faith will express itself in works

  38. REGENERATION • Necessity of the New Birth • Deceitful Heart-Jerm.17:9 • Born into Sin-PS.51:5 • Carnal Nature-Rom.7:15 • God’s Holiness • Certainty of Death-Rom 5:17 “By one man Sin entered into the world and death by sin And so death passed upon all men for all have sinned.”

  39. NATURE OF NEW BIRTH • Regeneration is Monergistic-God’s Work • Humans are dead, helpless to pull themselves out of the mire of sin. Quote: John Blanchard- “Nicodemus was no ordinary Pharisee; he was a ruler or master of Israel. He was one of the leading teachers of his day and spent his life studying and teaching religion…yet he did not even begin to grasp what Jesus meant! He could not see the truth because he was spiritually blind….a sinner needs not another birth but a new birth…not reformation of life, but formation of anew life.”

  40. NATURE OF NEW BIRTH-pt2 • Ezekiel prophesied about new life.26:26 • Jesus taught new birth • The apostles taught new birth • There are three aspects of New Birth: • It is a Mystery-Jn.3:8 • It is a Must-must is used 3 times in Jn 3 • It is a Miracle

  41. New Birth-What it is Not? • Not Natural Descent • Not Mere Human Decision • Not Human Determination • Not through the Sacraments-not even baptismal regeneration as some evangelicals believe.

  42. GOD’S PURPOSE OF GRACE • God’s purpose of grace is man’s redemption • Election never appears in Bible as mechanical • Election seems always to deal with God’s Children • Election never appears as a cancellation or violation of man’s free will. • God chose us in the sphere of being in Christ. Eph.1:3-13 • Perseverance of the saints says all true believers will endure till the end. • Paul believed God keep Him till the END. God keeps us saved. • The Christian and Sin-struggle against carnality(Rom.7) • We must agree with what God shows us about sin and repent and ask Him to help you overwhelm
