The World's Ruined: Assurance Rests on Christ Alone...
https://theworldsruined.blogspot.com/2015/07/christ-alone.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. Assurance Rests on Christ Alone. Thus, Paul concludes here that if we wish to be grounded upon the gospel and enjoy assurance of salvation, we must never entertain thoughts of our own merit, nor believe that we can contribute anything of ourselves, for it is simply a matter of accepting that which has been offered to us. Jesus Christ is not half a saviour, he is the Saviour! John Calvin. Sermon - On Discerning Who Belongs to the True Church. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The World's Ruined: June 2015
https://theworldsruined.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. Marriage, the World, and the Gospel. Some thoughts rumbling about in my head regarding the recent Supreme Court marriage ruling. The cultural environment is arguably becoming more anti. The Constitution, fairly read, indeed should protect the free exercise of religious belief. But maybe the time is here when the world. In the person of the State. Isn’t inclined to read the 1st Amendment fairly. The words of Jesus are helpful and comforting to me:. Links to this post. John Calvin&...

https://theworldsruined.blogspot.com/2015/07/that-which-makes-man-righteous-that.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2015. That which makes a man righteous, that which the law demands. The Apostle in express terms says that God imputes righteousness to the sinner. Rom iv. 6, 24.) By righteousness every one admits is meant that which makes a man righteous, that which the law demands. It does not consist in the sinner's own. Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology.

The World's Ruined: Christ Sent to Meet the Law's Demand for Both Satisfaction and Merit
https://theworldsruined.blogspot.com/2015/07/christ-sent-to-meet-laws-demand-for.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. Christ Sent to Meet the Law's Demand for Both Satisfaction and Merit. That the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. And so the Apostle's meaning is this; God sent his Son into the World not only to be a Sacrifice for sin, and thereby to condemn sin. By his bearing the Law's penalty. Christ's being a Sacrifice for sin. Was not sufficient to answer all the ends. There must be the doing. Eighteen Sermons ...

The World's Ruined: The Ground of Justification
https://theworldsruined.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-ground-of-justification.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. The Ground of Justification. The ground of our justification. Therefore, is that God reconciles us to himself, from regard not to our works, but to Christ alone. And, by gratuitous adoption, makes us, instead of children of wrath, to be his own children. So long as God looks to our works, he perceives no reason why he ought to love us. Wherefore, it is necessary to bury our sins, and. John Calvin. The Necessity of Reforming the Church. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 160;...

The World's Ruined: May 2015
https://theworldsruined.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. Every Word Out of the Mouth of God. Reading David VanDrunen's latest book, Divine Covenants and Moral Order. Got me to thinking about Adam's temptation in the garden and the temptation that Jesus faced many millennia later. VanDrunen posits that the natural law was given covenantally to man as part of the image of God woven into his being at his creation. Taking that view, the prohibition to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil upon penalty of death that came later to A...

Yea, in the Scriptures there is mention made of divers laws, but they may all be comprised under these three, viz.the law of works, the law of faith, and the law of Christ; 1.
