Exploring the Reformed understanding of SANCTIFICATION.

This episode explores the security and spiritual blessing of being adopted into God;s family.

Justification is the declaration of righteousness through faith in Christ, vindicating God and sinners.

Regeneration precedes faith and is the monergistic work of God in salvation.

Today, we're going to explore the doctrine of EFFECTUAL CALL.

Looking at the doctrine of soteriology (salvation) via the order of salvation: Election, calling, regeneration, conversion, justification, adoption, sanctification and glorification.

What is New about the New Covenant? Not its promises or its membership but its administration.

The Davidic Kingship is pivotal in Covenant Theology as it introduces the desire for rest and peace and tethers that to a just and righteous king.

In episode seven we look at the Mosaic Covenant, or what is often called the Covenant of Law, seeing how it was always meant to be temporary scaffolding to help expand and fulfil the Covenant of Promise that reaches its telos in the New Covenant.

The Covenant of Promise (Abrahamic Covenant) has for its purpose the preservation of the true knowledge of God among the idol-worshipping nations. Unlike the Covenant of Creation and Preservation which is made with all people, this covenant is made with Abraham and his seed only.

In episode 5, we discuss the re-establishing of the Covenant of Creation (Adam) with Noah, which is often called the Covenant of Preservation.

In this episode, we look at the Covenant of Works made between God and Adam as an outworking of the Eternal Covenant in time and space.

Today in season 1 & episode 3 we are going to think about what has been called the Covenant of Redemption or the Eternal Covenant – which is often called a theological covenant, as opposed to a biblical covenant like the Abrahamic or Davidic covenant, because it’s deduced from Scripture.

Today we will begin to explore a Reformed understanding of covenant theology – which is a hermeneutic or a way to understand the Bible.

Today we will explore the biblical doctrine of Scripture because our understanding of Scripture is foundational for what we believe, love and worship. It is also fundamental for our Christian hope and our moral vision.
