A Wretch Like Me

Series: What We Teach — GBC Doctrinal Statement
Text: Ephesians 1:5 He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his well.

The Fall: Humanity chooses to sin.

  • Depravity ruins every person.
  • Depravity ruins every part of every person.

Election: God chooses to save.

  • God's choosing is unconditional.
    • According to his purpose; Romans 9:11
    • By grace; Romans 11:5
    • Because of love; Deuteronomy 7:6-8
  • Therefore, God's choosing is not based on his foreknowledge of someone's choice of Him.
    • There would be nothing to foresee.
    • God's foreknowledge is of people.
    • Foreseen response is the beginning of salvation by merit.

Christ our Hope

  • The representative of God's righteousness.
  • The demonstration of God's love.
