Doctrines of Grace

1. Who is responsible for your salvation?

• God is. He is sovereign over all things.

2. If God is sovereign, is man still responsible?

• Yes, man is responsible for his actions. He is a moral being who is accountable

3. Can man choose God?

• If man is responsible, then it’s up to him to choose God, right? The answer to this is no.

4. If we cannot choose God, then did God choose us?

• The answer to this question is yes. The Bible clearly teaches that God chooses some, that He predestines some.

5. For whom did Jesus Die?

• Jesus sacrifice is limited here to those who would believe.

6. Why do some people accept the gospel while others reject it?

• The gospel is the universal free offer of salvation and it goes out to all men. But because man is spiritually dead and totally depraved, he is unable to respond to this call, and instead resists and ultimately rejects it. This is where the doctrine of irresistible grace comes in. There is another calling and it is specific, not general. This calling is given only to the elect.
