• God chose Abraham though he was an idolater
• God chose Isaac over Ishmael though Ishmael was the firstborn
• God chose Jacob over Esau though Jacob was not the natural choice
• God has chosen the Gentile over the Jew
Thesis:
• You can never use God’s sovereignty as a scapegoat for your irresponsibility.
Point 1.
• Sincerity does not count for spirituality.
The Law’s Termination
1. The only purpose of the law was to bring you to Christ, not bring you to heaven
2. Christ himself is the fulfillment of the law
Point 2.
• There is no unpardonable sin in the dispensation of grace.
Defn.:
• The word confess means to give assent and to acknowledge.
Point 3.
• Whatever is in the heart has to show up on the lips; otherwise it is not really in the heart.
Point 4.
• You can't believe the gospel if you don't love it, and you don't really love it and believe it if you're not willing to obey it.
Point 5.
• You can't believe he can save you if you don't believe he saved himself.
Defn:• Calling is the appropriation of faith

Point 6.• While salvation is by grace through
faith, every dispensation has a different work of faith attached to it to appropriate the faith personally.

Point 8.
• If the lost have an obligation to confess, we have a corresponding obligation to preach.
Point 9.
• If you want more faith then get into the word, because faith comes from hearing that is Biblically informed.
Point 10.
