(83) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Because of His great love to us, God opened our eyes to see His glory and gave us a new heart to love Him for that glory. (75) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>To be led by the Spirit is to act according to the holy inclinations of the Holy Spirit in the transformed heart, continually enlightened and trained by the Word of God, choosing and delighting in holiness rather than the evil desires of the sinful flesh (fallen human nature). (89) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>What does an exaggerated view of one’s self and attainments indicate concerning one’s view of the excellence and greatness of God and His grace?

(109) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The seeking of one’s own significance and distinction from others is a characteristic of our modern culture, but Edwards saw it as a form of pride. Is he correct? (109) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>What may appear to be a love for God may merely be a love of the benefits of God. Is it also possible that seeking after God may merely be seeking after the benefits of God? (116) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Is it an evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit that someone is willing to serve people in poverty in the third world, forsaking their own personal comforts, but have no concern of the eternal destiny of those whom they serve? (117) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The ground of gracious affections is the moral excellency of God and His works. (120) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Gracious affections are attended with the conviction that the Gospel is true. (120) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Christian practice is more than moral living and the absence of glaring character flaws. It involves a life devoted to the service and obedience to God. (124) —From Reading Religious Affections</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Holy practice as evidence of the sincerity and reality of one’s Christian profession is the principal of all other evidences noted in Scripture.

Furthermore, he has done it for one of the most important books ever written: ‘Religious Affections’. No one since the apostles had more insight into authentic godliness than Jonathan Edwards. But his books can be difficult to read. Biehl’s study guide helps you to understand the historical situation of Edwards’ day. It walks you through Edwards’ teachings in easy-to-follow outlines mingled with choice quotes from Edwards. After each section he presents several questions for personal medication or small group discussion. I regularly assign ‘Religious Affections’ to my students and will heartily recommend Biehl’s book as a companion to all who would read, understand, and apply Edwards’ masterpiece.” <strong>—Dr. Joel R.

Macroevolution gives no basis for morality: If a lion is hungry he eats, even if it happens to be you. He does so with no concern for your family, the preservation of society, or any other higher principles. He just eats and takes a nap. If your family shows up to argue natural rights, they’ll make a nice meal, too. No qualms. Evolution does not make us better than a hungry lion—a God-given conscience does.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The heart unwilling to do the will of God will not see Scripture as the divine revelation of God’s will.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The glaring evidence for God in the universe rains on the parade of unbelief and dispels the illusion of the rebel’s independence.

As our bodies and the world around us corrupt and decay, He carries us by His love to a joyful eternity where all will be right and glorious. Nothing can be more practical and relevant than to know, love, and be loved by the One who makes all things ‘work together for our good’ (Romans 8:28). Apart from God, we are no more than a bit part in a tragic tale of futility, death, and ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ But with God, we are part of something great and glorious, something that gives our life profound meaning and purpose, something infinitely excellent and eternal. A joyful, meaningful, and fruitful life in Christ depends on knowing the nature and implications of God’s perfections.</p><p id=\"book-summary-long\"> </p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Long\n</h2>		\n		<p>“When God stands as the author and explanation of the universe, life becomes worthwhile, a gift to be treasured. When He is cast aside as mythical or unimportant, the words of evil Macbeth ring true and the world recedes into pointless absurdity. Apart from the God of Scripture, all life, meaning, design, beauty, language, knowledge, truth, and morality would be impossible. ‘In the beginning God,’ then, forms the proper starting point for right thinking and living. In the infinite excellence of the Maker and explanation of all things we have the answers to the deepest questions of life.</p><p>Scripture unfolds the great works of God from eternity past to eternity future in the new heavens and earth. In our relationship to the Source and explanation of all things we have life, meaning, and purpose, while our trivial existence gains importance as part of God’s eternal purpose. From His love and grace we have eternal life in Christ, in whom we possess all good things and the divine resources to resist the evil forces that would destroy us. Covered in His righteousness we will ‘stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy’ (Jude 24). From God we have all truth and the ability to know truth; the basis for a proper understanding of God, ourselves, and His universe; and the sure foundation for joy, assurance, and unbreakable faith in the midst of an antagonistic culture of unbelief.</p><p>Since God’s perfections (also known as His attributes) define His nature and inform His works, they provide the ultimate source and guide for knowledge about Him and the universe He created. To properly know ourselves we must know the God who made us. To properly live in the world, we must know Him who owns, orders, and sustains it. To serve Christ and the Gospel in a true and God-honoring way, we must know the attributes of the God whose Gospel it is. And because Scripture has ultimate authority as the Word and words of God, it provides the source and ground of a true knowledge of God. Therefore, a proper and God-honoring life and defense of faith in Christ requires a biblical approach to authority, truth, and knowledge, one that upholds the authority and independence of God while affirming our dependence on God for all knowledge.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/books/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Books</a></h2>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/unbreakable-faith/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Courses</a></h2>','God the Reason: How Infinite Excellence Gives Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','14184-revision-v1','','','2023-03-19 14:25:31','2023-03-19 14:25:31','',14184,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=14432',0,'revision','',0),(14433,1,'2023-03-19 14:25:31','2023-03-19 14:25:31','<style>/*!

To properly live in the world, we must know Him who owns, orders, and sustains it.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Next to the testimony of Scripture, the best evidence for the truth of the Gospel entails the life of Christ displayed in His people.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>When we see how God’s perfections relate to every aspect of our life and thinking, the seemingly unrelated aspects of the world become part of a marvelous picture of God’s purpose and works.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Apart from God, we are no more than a bit part in a tragic tale of futility, death, and ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ But with God, we are part of something great and glorious, something that gives our life profound meaning and purpose, something infinitely excellent and eternal.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The uniformity or laws of nature are no more than how God orders the various aspects of the universe in a particular manner for a particular time.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>What we call a miracle is merely God doing something different than what we normally see Him do as He orders and sustains things.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Since our sin displays a practical atheism that exalts our will over God’s will, so we also exhibit a practical kind of Deism by viewing the universe as begun by God but operating according to independent physical laws.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Since God transcends the universe He created, we could not describe or know Him accurately without His revelation.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>What lives might have been spared the terror of the racist Aryanism if people were rightly treated as endowed with dignity, as created in the image of God.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>If we lack a moral anchor beyond personal preference and the culture that surrounds us, we will become a mere pawn in the tyranny of someone else’s pursuit of power and pleasure—the prevailing winds will drive us where we never dreamed we would go.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Given our rebellion against God, our every breath comes by the mercy of God not giving us what we deserve, and our every blessing comes by the grace of God giving us what we do not deserve.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>When our every sin cries, “Crucify!” and our indifference cries, “Barabbas!” why should anything good happen to us?”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Atheists go to great lengths to claim an ethical code of living, even while their worldview denies an ultimate reason for one. Macroevolution gives no basis for morality: If a lion is hungry he eats, even if it happens to be you. He does so with no concern for your family, the preservation of society, or any other higher principles. He just eats and takes a nap. If your family shows up to argue natural rights, they’ll make a nice meal, too. No qualms. Evolution does not make us better than a hungry lion—a God-given conscience does.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The heart unwilling to do the will of God will not see Scripture as the divine revelation of God’s will.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The glaring evidence for God in the universe rains on the parade of unbelief and dispels the illusion of the rebel’s independence. Unbelievers, then, refuse to view the evidence with neutral objectivity because the implications of a right interpretation are too damning of their pretended freedom from God and His judgment.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The shouts of “Crucify!” came not from a lack of evidence, but from fickle hearts who feared the religious leaders and saw their conqueror of Rome under the power and punishment of Rome.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>All people will one day be confronted with reality as God has determined it to be, regardless of what they imagine it to be.”</p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Short\n</h2>		\n		<p>What can be more practical than to know and love the One who created and saved us, who to know is life and joy forever? As our bodies and the world around us corrupt and decay, He carries us by His love to a joyful eternity where all will be right and glorious. Nothing can be more practical and relevant than to know, love, and be loved by the One who makes all things ‘work together for our good’ (Romans 8:28). Apart from God, we are no more than a bit part in a tragic tale of futility, death, and ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ But with God, we are part of something great and glorious, something that gives our life profound meaning and purpose, something infinitely excellent and eternal. A joyful, meaningful, and fruitful life in Christ depends on knowing the nature and implications of God’s perfections.</p><p id=\"book-summary-long\"> </p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Long\n</h2>		\n		<p>“When God stands as the author and explanation of the universe, life becomes worthwhile, a gift to be treasured. When He is cast aside as mythical or unimportant, the words of evil Macbeth ring true and the world recedes into pointless absurdity. Apart from the God of Scripture, all life, meaning, design, beauty, language, knowledge, truth, and morality would be impossible. ‘In the beginning God,’ then, forms the proper starting point for right thinking and living. In the infinite excellence of the Maker and explanation of all things we have the answers to the deepest questions of life.</p><p>Scripture unfolds the great works of God from eternity past to eternity future in the new heavens and earth. In our relationship to the Source and explanation of all things we have life, meaning, and purpose, while our trivial existence gains importance as part of God’s eternal purpose. From His love and grace we have eternal life in Christ, in whom we possess all good things and the divine resources to resist the evil forces that would destroy us. Covered in His righteousness we will ‘stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy’ (Jude 24). From God we have all truth and the ability to know truth; the basis for a proper understanding of God, ourselves, and His universe; and the sure foundation for joy, assurance, and unbreakable faith in the midst of an antagonistic culture of unbelief.</p><p>Since God’s perfections (also known as His attributes) define His nature and inform His works, they provide the ultimate source and guide for knowledge about Him and the universe He created. To properly know ourselves we must know the God who made us. To properly live in the world, we must know Him who owns, orders, and sustains it. To serve Christ and the Gospel in a true and God-honoring way, we must know the attributes of the God whose Gospel it is. And because Scripture has ultimate authority as the Word and words of God, it provides the source and ground of a true knowledge of God. Therefore, a proper and God-honoring life and defense of faith in Christ requires a biblical approach to authority, truth, and knowledge, one that upholds the authority and independence of God while affirming our dependence on God for all knowledge.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/books/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Books</a></h2>		\n			<h2><a

Nothing can be more practical and relevant than to know, love, and be loved by the One who makes all things ‘work together for our good’ (Romans 8:28). Apart from God, we are no more than a bit part in a tragic tale of futility, death, and ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ But with God, we are part of something great and glorious, something that gives our life profound meaning and purpose, something infinitely excellent and eternal.

To properly live in the world, we must know Him who owns, orders, and sustains it.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Next to the testimony of Scripture, the best evidence for the truth of the Gospel entails the life of Christ displayed in His people.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>When we see how God’s perfections relate to every aspect of our life and thinking, the seemingly unrelated aspects of the world become part of a marvelous picture of God’s purpose and works.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Apart from God, we are no more than a bit part in a tragic tale of futility, death, and ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ But with God, we are part of something great and glorious, something that gives our life profound meaning and purpose, something infinitely excellent and eternal.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The uniformity or laws of nature are no more than how God orders the various aspects of the universe in a particular manner for a particular time.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>What we call a miracle is merely God doing something different than what we normally see Him do as He orders and sustains things.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Since our sin displays a practical atheism that exalts our will over God’s will, so we also exhibit a practical kind of Deism by viewing the universe as begun by God but operating according to independent physical laws.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Since God transcends the universe He created, we could not describe or know Him accurately without His revelation.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>What lives might have been spared the terror of the racist Aryanism if people were rightly treated as endowed with dignity, as created in the image of God.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>If we lack a moral anchor beyond personal preference and the culture that surrounds us, we will become a mere pawn in the tyranny of someone else’s pursuit of power and pleasure—the prevailing winds will drive us where we never dreamed we would go.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Given our rebellion against God, our every breath comes by the mercy of God not giving us what we deserve, and our every blessing comes by the grace of God giving us what we do not deserve.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>When our every sin cries, “Crucify!” and our indifference cries, “Barabbas!” why should anything good happen to us?”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Atheists go to great lengths to claim an ethical code of living, even while their worldview denies an ultimate reason for one. Macroevolution gives no basis for morality: If a lion is hungry he eats, even if it happens to be you. He does so with no concern for your family, the preservation of society, or any other higher principles. He just eats and takes a nap. If your family shows up to argue natural rights, they’ll make a nice meal, too. No qualms. Evolution does not make us better than a hungry lion—a God-given conscience does.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The heart unwilling to do the will of God will not see Scripture as the divine revelation of God’s will.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The glaring evidence for God in the universe rains on the parade of unbelief and dispels the illusion of the rebel’s independence. Unbelievers, then, refuse to view the evidence with neutral objectivity because the implications of a right interpretation are too damning of their pretended freedom from God and His judgment.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The shouts of “Crucify!” came not from a lack of evidence, but from fickle hearts who feared the religious leaders and saw their conqueror of Rome under the power and punishment of Rome.”</p><p><strong>\"</strong>All people will one day be confronted with reality as God has determined it to be, regardless of what they imagine it to be.”</p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Short\n</h2>		\n		<p>What can be more practical than to know and love the One who created and saved us, who to know is life and joy forever? As our bodies and the world around us corrupt and decay, He carries us by His love to a joyful eternity where all will be right and glorious. Nothing can be more practical and relevant than to know, love, and be loved by the One who makes all things ‘work together for our good’ (Romans 8:28). Apart from God, we are no more than a bit part in a tragic tale of futility, death, and ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ But with God, we are part of something great and glorious, something that gives our life profound meaning and purpose, something infinitely excellent and eternal. A joyful, meaningful, and fruitful life in Christ depends on knowing the nature and implications of God’s perfections.</p><p id=\"book-summary-long\"> </p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Long\n</h2>		\n		<p>“When God stands as the author and explanation of the universe, life becomes worthwhile, a gift to be treasured. When He is cast aside as mythical or unimportant, the words of evil Macbeth ring true and the world recedes into pointless absurdity. Apart from the God of Scripture, all life, meaning, design, beauty, language, knowledge, truth, and morality would be impossible. ‘In the beginning God,’ then, forms the proper starting point for right thinking and living. In the infinite excellence of the Maker and explanation of all things we have the answers to the deepest questions of life.</p><p>Scripture unfolds the great works of God from eternity past to eternity future in the new heavens and earth. In our relationship to the Source and explanation of all things we have life, meaning, and purpose, while our trivial existence gains importance as part of God’s eternal purpose. From His love and grace we have eternal life in Christ, in whom we possess all good things and the divine resources to resist the evil forces that would destroy us. Covered in His righteousness we will ‘stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy’ (Jude 24). From God we have all truth and the ability to know truth; the basis for a proper understanding of God, ourselves, and His universe; and the sure foundation for joy, assurance, and unbreakable faith in the midst of an antagonistic culture of unbelief.</p><p>Since God’s perfections (also known as His attributes) define His nature and inform His works, they provide the ultimate source and guide for knowledge about Him and the universe He created. To properly know ourselves we must know the God who made us. To properly live in the world, we must know Him who owns, orders, and sustains it. To serve Christ and the Gospel in a true and God-honoring way, we must know the attributes of the God whose Gospel it is. And because Scripture has ultimate authority as the Word and words of God, it provides the source and ground of a true knowledge of God. Therefore, a proper and God-honoring life and defense of faith in Christ requires a biblical approach to authority, truth, and knowledge, one that upholds the authority and independence of God while affirming our dependence on God for all knowledge.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/books/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Books</a></h2>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/unbreakable-faith/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Courses</a></h2>','God the Reason: How Infinite Excellence Gives Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','14184-revision-v1','','','2023-03-19 14:37:05','2023-03-19 14:37:05','',14184,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=14446',0,'revision','',0),(14447,1,'2023-03-19 14:37:35','2023-03-19 14:37:35','<style>/*!

One must know everything about the universe and beyond to justly claim that God does not exist.</strong></p><p>Atheists unwittingly presume for themselves the omniscience of the God they deny when they claim that He does not exist. No human can possibly know that God does not exist.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">2. Human experience and knowledge can’t be the final authority of what God can be or do in His universe.</strong></p><p>Because we cannot see or understand something does not make it untrue. Most folks have never been out of their country, let alone to the other side of the universe or beyond the three or four dimensions of their existence. Human experience and opinion are inadequate standards of truth about ultimate questions and realities.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">3.  Miracles are reasonable and logical.</strong></p><p>The God who can speak a universe into existence and order and sustain it every moment can part the Red Sea and sustain a prophet in a whale. Miracles are logical and reasonable in a universe created and run by a God of infinite power.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">4.One must prove that the infinite God of Scripture does not exist before one can prove that the miracles of Scripture are impossible.</strong></p><p>Denials of the possibility of the biblical miracles presume that the God of infinite power does not exist. Yet, human limitations make it impossible for anyone to know that God does not exist and therefore make it impossible for anyone to know that the miracles of the Bible are impossible.</p><p> </p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">5. The ongoing ordering and sustaining of every particle and physical law in the universe is a greater miracle than the supernatural acts of God in Scripture.</strong></p><p>It is quite unreasonable to deny the miracles of Scripture while maintaining that the order and design of every atom in the universe is founded on random chance. God’s ongoing ordering and sustaining of the universe requires immeasurably more power than all of the biblical “miracles” combined.</p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Short\n</h2>		\n		<p>Is Christian faith reasonable and justified while the best arguments of atheism and agnosticism are no more than unjustified opinion? The answer will inspire you. The amusing banter between Mr. A and Mr. C get to the heart of the matter when Mr. A humbly admits his inability to know the contents of Mr. C’s antique box while claiming to know that which requires knowledge of everything in the universe and beyond. In a single breath Mr. A went from a reasonable confession of his human limitations to presuming the omniscience of the God he denies. In this Mr. A displayed his atheism (and later agnosticism) to rest on faith in an ability to know what he cannot possible know. When Christians see how and where this misplaced faith underlies the most sophisticated arguments of unbelief, they can better appreciate the reliability of faith in Christ, stand firm and unintimidated in the face of all unbelieving arguments, and respond with greater grace and peace.</p><p id=\"book-summary-long\"> </p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Long\n</h2>		\n		<p>Mr. A’s nightmare was small potatoes compared to Mr. C’s little antique box. Why did Mr. A convert from being a confident atheist to a rather non-committal agnostic? Mr. C didn’t fit the stereotype of an ignorant hypocrite and that bothered Mr. A, but why does he now doubt his once unflinching ability to make reasonable claims about the existence of God? And why has the thought of a possible afterlife begun to give him the heebie-jeebies? The little brown box had shaken him to the core. Was he really a man of faith, and blind unjustified faith at that? And so it is that Mr. A sits on a pile of dirt in his garden contemplating the meaning of his life.</p><p>Leaving Mr. A for a moment, imagine happy young Christians prancing off to college to find everything they hold dear mocked and dismissed as nonsense. “Jonah in a whale? Humanity saved in an ark?” And with a raised eyebrow and peering over the eye glasses, “you don’t reeeally take the Bible literally, do you?” It can be a bit intimidating. Imagine four concentrated years of this from professors and classmates. Can the joy, assurance and faith of believers survive and even thrive in such an environment? Can our joy, assurance, and faith survive and thrive in the sea of unbelief that surrounds us?</p><p>Atheists and agnostics pride themselves on being reasonable and scientific while viewing Christian faith as blind and unreasonable. But could the opposite be true? Could Christian faith be neither blind nor unreasonable while the best arguments of atheism and agnosticism rest on unsupportable assumptions of faith? Moreover, could the toughest arguments against faith in Christ become the means for stronger joy, assurance, and faith in Christ as we recognize the blind and unreasonable faith of unbelief in the best of its proponents? Indeed they can.</p><p>Arguments rest on basic assumptions, and arguments built on false assumptions produce faulty conclusions, regardless of the sophistication of the argument. For instance, what must someone know to legitimately claim that God does not exist? In short, everything about everything in the universe and beyond. Unjustified faith in one’s ability to make “authoritative” assertions about things that cannot be known without infinite knowledge or direct revelation from God underlies all atheistic arguments.<br />What about arguments against the possibility of biblical miracles? Given that God has infinite power to create, order, and sustain all things, and that He cannot be limited by the laws He created and upholds, one must presume that God does not exist to deny biblical miracles. But again, what must someone know to legitimately claim that God does not exist? Everything about everything in the universe and beyond. Every denial of the possibility of biblical miracles rests on an unreasonable, unjustified, and easily refutable assumption of faith. Indeed, anyone who cannot know the contents of Mr. C’s antique box without looking inside it cannot possibly know that God does not exist or that He is limited by the universe He created.</p><p>All arguments against the existence and nature of God, whether the “problem of evil” or the impossibility of the Trinity, can easily be exposed as resting on the same unreasonable assumptions of blind faith. When Christians learn to see and understand these assumptions, they are not only equipped to refute the most difficult arguments of unbelief, they will be encouraged in their faith in Christ and Scripture, and inoculated against intimidating arguments that would steal their joy and assurance.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/books/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Books</a></h2>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/unbreakable-faith/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Courses</a></h2>','The Box: Answering the Faith of Unbelief','','inherit','closed','closed','','14255-revision-v1','','','2023-03-19 14:37:35','2023-03-19 14:37:35','',14255,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=14447',0,'revision','',0),(14448,1,'2023-03-19 14:37:35','2023-03-19 14:37:35','<style>/*!

One must know everything about the universe and beyond to justly claim that God does not exist.</strong></p><p>Atheists unwittingly presume for themselves the omniscience of the God they deny when they claim that He does not exist. No human can possibly know that God does not exist.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">2. Human experience and knowledge can’t be the final authority of what God can be or do in His universe.</strong></p><p>Because we cannot see or understand something does not make it untrue. Most folks have never been out of their country, let alone to the other side of the universe or beyond the three or four dimensions of their existence. Human experience and opinion are inadequate standards of truth about ultimate questions and realities.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">3.  Miracles are reasonable and logical.</strong></p><p>The God who can speak a universe into existence and order and sustain it every moment can part the Red Sea and sustain a prophet in a whale. Miracles are logical and reasonable in a universe created and run by a God of infinite power.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">4.One must prove that the infinite God of Scripture does not exist before one can prove that the miracles of Scripture are impossible.</strong></p><p>Denials of the possibility of the biblical miracles presume that the God of infinite power does not exist. Yet, human limitations make it impossible for anyone to know that God does not exist and therefore make it impossible for anyone to know that the miracles of the Bible are impossible.</p><p> </p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">5. The ongoing ordering and sustaining of every particle and physical law in the universe is a greater miracle than the supernatural acts of God in Scripture.</strong></p><p>It is quite unreasonable to deny the miracles of Scripture while maintaining that the order and design of every atom in the universe is founded on random chance. God’s ongoing ordering and sustaining of the universe requires immeasurably more power than all of the biblical “miracles” combined.</p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Short\n</h2>		\n		<p>Is Christian faith reasonable and justified while the best arguments of atheism and agnosticism are no more than unjustified opinion? The answer will inspire you. The amusing banter between Mr. A and Mr. C get to the heart of the matter when Mr. A humbly admits his inability to know the contents of Mr. C’s antique box while claiming to know that which requires knowledge of everything in the universe and beyond. In a single breath Mr. A went from a reasonable confession of his human limitations to presuming the omniscience of the God he denies. In this Mr. A displayed his atheism (and later agnosticism) to rest on faith in an ability to know what he cannot possible know. When Christians see how and where this misplaced faith underlies the most sophisticated arguments of unbelief, they can better appreciate the reliability of faith in Christ, stand firm and unintimidated in the face of all unbelieving arguments, and respond with greater grace and peace.</p><p id=\"book-summary-long\"> </p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Long\n</h2>		\n		<p>Mr. A’s nightmare was small potatoes compared to Mr. C’s little antique box. Why did Mr. A convert from being a confident atheist to a rather non-committal agnostic? Mr. C didn’t fit the stereotype of an ignorant hypocrite and that bothered Mr. A, but why does he now doubt his once unflinching ability to make reasonable claims about the existence of God? And why has the thought of a possible afterlife begun to give him the heebie-jeebies? The little brown box had shaken him to the core. Was he really a man of faith, and blind unjustified faith at that? And so it is that Mr. A sits on a pile of dirt in his garden contemplating the meaning of his life.</p><p>Leaving Mr. A for a moment, imagine happy young Christians prancing off to college to find everything they hold dear mocked and dismissed as nonsense. “Jonah in a whale? Humanity saved in an ark?” And with a raised eyebrow and peering over the eye glasses, “you don’t reeeally take the Bible literally, do you?” It can be a bit intimidating. Imagine four concentrated years of this from professors and classmates. Can the joy, assurance and faith of believers survive and even thrive in such an environment? Can our joy, assurance, and faith survive and thrive in the sea of unbelief that surrounds us?</p><p>Atheists and agnostics pride themselves on being reasonable and scientific while viewing Christian faith as blind and unreasonable. But could the opposite be true? Could Christian faith be neither blind nor unreasonable while the best arguments of atheism and agnosticism rest on unsupportable assumptions of faith? Moreover, could the toughest arguments against faith in Christ become the means for stronger joy, assurance, and faith in Christ as we recognize the blind and unreasonable faith of unbelief in the best of its proponents? Indeed they can.</p><p>Arguments rest on basic assumptions, and arguments built on false assumptions produce faulty conclusions, regardless of the sophistication of the argument. For instance, what must someone know to legitimately claim that God does not exist? In short, everything about everything in the universe and beyond. Unjustified faith in one’s ability to make “authoritative” assertions about things that cannot be known without infinite knowledge or direct revelation from God underlies all atheistic arguments.<br />What about arguments against the possibility of biblical miracles? Given that God has infinite power to create, order, and sustain all things, and that He cannot be limited by the laws He created and upholds, one must presume that God does not exist to deny biblical miracles. But again, what must someone know to legitimately claim that God does not exist? Everything about everything in the universe and beyond. Every denial of the possibility of biblical miracles rests on an unreasonable, unjustified, and easily refutable assumption of faith. Indeed, anyone who cannot know the contents of Mr. C’s antique box without looking inside it cannot possibly know that God does not exist or that He is limited by the universe He created.</p><p>All arguments against the existence and nature of God, whether the “problem of evil” or the impossibility of the Trinity, can easily be exposed as resting on the same unreasonable assumptions of blind faith. When Christians learn to see and understand these assumptions, they are not only equipped to refute the most difficult arguments of unbelief, they will be encouraged in their faith in Christ and Scripture, and inoculated against intimidating arguments that would steal their joy and assurance.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/books/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Books</a></h2>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/unbreakable-faith/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Courses</a></h2>','The Box: Answering the Faith of Unbelief','','inherit','closed','closed','','14255-revision-v1','','','2023-03-19 14:37:35','2023-03-19 14:37:35','',14255,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=14448',0,'revision','',0),(14449,1,'2023-03-19 14:37:36','2023-03-19 14:37:36','<style>/*!

One must know everything about the universe and beyond to justly claim that God does not exist.</strong></p><p>Atheists unwittingly presume for themselves the omniscience of the God they deny when they claim that He does not exist. No human can possibly know that God does not exist.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">2. Human experience and knowledge can’t be the final authority of what God can be or do in His universe.</strong></p><p>Because we cannot see or understand something does not make it untrue. Most folks have never been out of their country, let alone to the other side of the universe or beyond the three or four dimensions of their existence. Human experience and opinion are inadequate standards of truth about ultimate questions and realities.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">3.  Miracles are reasonable and logical.</strong></p><p>The God who can speak a universe into existence and order and sustain it every moment can part the Red Sea and sustain a prophet in a whale. Miracles are logical and reasonable in a universe created and run by a God of infinite power.</p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">4.One must prove that the infinite God of Scripture does not exist before one can prove that the miracles of Scripture are impossible.</strong></p><p>Denials of the possibility of the biblical miracles presume that the God of infinite power does not exist. Yet, human limitations make it impossible for anyone to know that God does not exist and therefore make it impossible for anyone to know that the miracles of the Bible are impossible.</p><p> </p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">5. The ongoing ordering and sustaining of every particle and physical law in the universe is a greater miracle than the supernatural acts of God in Scripture.</strong></p><p>It is quite unreasonable to deny the miracles of Scripture while maintaining that the order and design of every atom in the universe is founded on random chance. God’s ongoing ordering and sustaining of the universe requires immeasurably more power than all of the biblical “miracles” combined.</p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Short\n</h2>		\n		<p>Is Christian faith reasonable and justified while the best arguments of atheism and agnosticism are no more than unjustified opinion? The answer will inspire you. The amusing banter between Mr. A and Mr. C get to the heart of the matter when Mr. A humbly admits his inability to know the contents of Mr. C’s antique box while claiming to know that which requires knowledge of everything in the universe and beyond. In a single breath Mr. A went from a reasonable confession of his human limitations to presuming the omniscience of the God he denies. In this Mr. A displayed his atheism (and later agnosticism) to rest on faith in an ability to know what he cannot possible know. When Christians see how and where this misplaced faith underlies the most sophisticated arguments of unbelief, they can better appreciate the reliability of faith in Christ, stand firm and unintimidated in the face of all unbelieving arguments, and respond with greater grace and peace.</p><p id=\"book-summary-long\"> </p>		\n			<h2>Book Summary – Long\n</h2>		\n		<p>Mr. A’s nightmare was small potatoes compared to Mr. C’s little antique box. Why did Mr. A convert from being a confident atheist to a rather non-committal agnostic? Mr. C didn’t fit the stereotype of an ignorant hypocrite and that bothered Mr. A, but why does he now doubt his once unflinching ability to make reasonable claims about the existence of God? And why has the thought of a possible afterlife begun to give him the heebie-jeebies? The little brown box had shaken him to the core. Was he really a man of faith, and blind unjustified faith at that? And so it is that Mr. A sits on a pile of dirt in his garden contemplating the meaning of his life.</p><p>Leaving Mr. A for a moment, imagine happy young Christians prancing off to college to find everything they hold dear mocked and dismissed as nonsense. “Jonah in a whale? Humanity saved in an ark?” And with a raised eyebrow and peering over the eye glasses, “you don’t reeeally take the Bible literally, do you?” It can be a bit intimidating. Imagine four concentrated years of this from professors and classmates. Can the joy, assurance and faith of believers survive and even thrive in such an environment? Can our joy, assurance, and faith survive and thrive in the sea of unbelief that surrounds us?</p><p>Atheists and agnostics pride themselves on being reasonable and scientific while viewing Christian faith as blind and unreasonable. But could the opposite be true? Could Christian faith be neither blind nor unreasonable while the best arguments of atheism and agnosticism rest on unsupportable assumptions of faith? Moreover, could the toughest arguments against faith in Christ become the means for stronger joy, assurance, and faith in Christ as we recognize the blind and unreasonable faith of unbelief in the best of its proponents? Indeed they can.</p><p>Arguments rest on basic assumptions, and arguments built on false assumptions produce faulty conclusions, regardless of the sophistication of the argument. For instance, what must someone know to legitimately claim that God does not exist? In short, everything about everything in the universe and beyond. Unjustified faith in one’s ability to make “authoritative” assertions about things that cannot be known without infinite knowledge or direct revelation from God underlies all atheistic arguments.<br />What about arguments against the possibility of biblical miracles? Given that God has infinite power to create, order, and sustain all things, and that He cannot be limited by the laws He created and upholds, one must presume that God does not exist to deny biblical miracles. But again, what must someone know to legitimately claim that God does not exist? Everything about everything in the universe and beyond. Every denial of the possibility of biblical miracles rests on an unreasonable, unjustified, and easily refutable assumption of faith. Indeed, anyone who cannot know the contents of Mr. C’s antique box without looking inside it cannot possibly know that God does not exist or that He is limited by the universe He created.</p><p>All arguments against the existence and nature of God, whether the “problem of evil” or the impossibility of the Trinity, can easily be exposed as resting on the same unreasonable assumptions of blind faith. When Christians learn to see and understand these assumptions, they are not only equipped to refute the most difficult arguments of unbelief, they will be encouraged in their faith in Christ and Scripture, and inoculated against intimidating arguments that would steal their joy and assurance.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/books/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Books</a></h2>		\n			<h2><a href=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/unbreakable-faith/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Courses</a></h2>','The Box: Answering the Faith of Unbelief','','inherit','closed','closed','','14255-revision-v1','','','2023-03-19 14:37:36','2023-03-19 14:37:36','',14255,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=14449',0,'revision','',0),(14450,1,'2023-03-19 14:38:00','2023-03-19 14:38:00','<style>/*!

(30)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God is glorified to a greater degree when His creatures not only see the display of His glory, but ‘rejoice’ and ‘delight’ in His glory, as that very delight is the Holy Spirit dwelling within the believer. God communicates His glory ‘that it might [be] received both by the mind and heart.’ (32)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The love that is the Father’s delight in the Son and the Son’s delight in the Father is the very same love that is God’s delight in the believer as the Holy Spirit dwells and manifests within the believer His holiness, love, and delight in God. (33)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>As the holiness and happiness of the creature and the glory of God cannot be viewed as separate purposes of God, and as the excellence in the creature is the excellence of God communicated to the creature. (35)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God accomplishes His ultimate purpose to display and communicate His glory to His creatures in His glory displayed in the person and redeeming work of Christ, and in the giving of the Holy Spirit to believers by whom they love and rejoice in the excellence of the Son and the Father. Consequently, God’s ultimate purpose to glorify Himself is one and the same with His purpose to communicate His happiness to His creatures, the whole of which is accomplished in and through the person and redeeming work of Christ. (37-8)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>In all things, Christ is the means by which God manifests His glory. (40)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>For the death of Christ not only satisfied the required penalty of God’s rule of righteousness, but also constituted an infinitely meritorious act of obedience. Indeed, Christ voluntarily condescended from infinite glory to suffer infinite humiliation, to suffer the greatest trial of obedience ever experienced, and to bear the infinite wrath of God for the benefit of infinitely undeserving and hateful creatures. In so doing, Christ accrued infinitely greater merit on behalf of those for whom He died than Adam would have merited for His posterity had he obeyed. The death of Christ is the apex of Christ’s redemptive work, His greatest act of obedience, and the greatest display of God’s excellent perfections ever accomplished. In this one act of obedience the positive and negative righteousness required by God’s rule of righteousness are satisfied and infinitely exceeded on behalf of sinners. In this way Christ’s obedience to death was infinitely meritorious and ‘the most exalted part of Christ’s positive righteousness.’ (195-6)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The death of Christ is the apex of Christ’s redemptive work, His greatest act of obedience, and the greatest display of God’s excellent perfections ever accomplished. In this one act of obedience the positive and negative righteousness required by God’s rule of righteousness are satisfied and infinitely exceeded on behalf of sinners. In this way Christ’s obedience to death was infinitely meritorious and ‘the most exalted part of Christ’s positive righteousness.’ (196)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>When given a full view of the fiery furnace in which He was to enter, He was “overwhelmed with the thought; his feeble human nature shrunk at the dismal sight. It put him into this dreadful agony…but his love to sinners held out.” Such would not be undertaken by Christ “needlessly” if the salvation of His elect could be accomplished another way, for “he desired that the cup might pass from him.” Yet, “if sinners, on whom he had set his love, could not, agreeably to the will of God, be saved without his drinking it, he chose that the will of God should be done.” He chose the furnace “rather than those poor sinners whom he had loved from all eternity should perish.” He did not grasp His glory “when the dreadful cup was before Him,” He did not claim His Father’s love to avoid it, nor retreat on account of the vile nature of His enemies for whom the cup would be consumed. “On the contrary, his love held out, and he resolved even then, in the midst of his agony, to yield himself up to the will of God, and to take the cup and drink it.” (220-1)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>All of Christ’s redeeming work on earth was undertaken on behalf of His bride for whom He acted as surety and representative. The Son freely undertook to stand for His bride in binding Himself to the covenant terms and took upon Himself a human nature and body that He might stand as their proper substitute and representative. In every propitiatory and meritorious act of His entire life of humiliation He acted on her behalf, and willingly drank the cup of God’s wrath in her place. In all this, Christ succeeded in meeting and infinitely exceeding the requirement of God’s rule of righteousness for which Christ and His bride would be rewarded. Therefore, Christ’s perfect obedience merited the salvation and exaltation of the elect. (227)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Christ’s perfect obedience to God’s rule of righteousness redeemed His bride in the accomplishment of the ultimate purpose of God. He purchased her happiness that she might dwell with Him and enjoy the glory of Himself and the Father forever. The bride is thus brought into the most intimate of communion with God and made a member of God’s family. (241)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>By the infinite display of God’s excellent perfections in the infinitely meritorious obedience of Christ, unworthy sinners are brought into intimate communion with the persons of the Trinity. United to Christ in His humanity, the saints have an intimacy beyond which they would have enjoyed had Christ not taken upon Himself a human nature, as well as a greater intimacy with the Father in being united to Christ as the eternal Son of God. God designed that through “an intimate enjoyment of the Son,” saints “shall have a most intimate enjoyment of the Father,” so “‘our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ’ (I John 1:3).” (242)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God would not be God if a single soul were saved apart from the perfect satisfaction of God’s unchanging rule of righteousness. And, as the glory of God consists in the excellence of His perfections, there could be no display or communication of the excellence of His perfections if God were not perfectly righteous and just.

(30)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God is glorified to a greater degree when His creatures not only see the display of His glory, but ‘rejoice’ and ‘delight’ in His glory, as that very delight is the Holy Spirit dwelling within the believer. God communicates His glory ‘that it might [be] received both by the mind and heart.’ (32)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The love that is the Father’s delight in the Son and the Son’s delight in the Father is the very same love that is God’s delight in the believer as the Holy Spirit dwells and manifests within the believer His holiness, love, and delight in God. (33)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>As the holiness and happiness of the creature and the glory of God cannot be viewed as separate purposes of God, and as the excellence in the creature is the excellence of God communicated to the creature. (35)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God accomplishes His ultimate purpose to display and communicate His glory to His creatures in His glory displayed in the person and redeeming work of Christ, and in the giving of the Holy Spirit to believers by whom they love and rejoice in the excellence of the Son and the Father. Consequently, God’s ultimate purpose to glorify Himself is one and the same with His purpose to communicate His happiness to His creatures, the whole of which is accomplished in and through the person and redeeming work of Christ. (37-8)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>In all things, Christ is the means by which God manifests His glory. (40)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>For the death of Christ not only satisfied the required penalty of God’s rule of righteousness, but also constituted an infinitely meritorious act of obedience. Indeed, Christ voluntarily condescended from infinite glory to suffer infinite humiliation, to suffer the greatest trial of obedience ever experienced, and to bear the infinite wrath of God for the benefit of infinitely undeserving and hateful creatures. In so doing, Christ accrued infinitely greater merit on behalf of those for whom He died than Adam would have merited for His posterity had he obeyed. The death of Christ is the apex of Christ’s redemptive work, His greatest act of obedience, and the greatest display of God’s excellent perfections ever accomplished. In this one act of obedience the positive and negative righteousness required by God’s rule of righteousness are satisfied and infinitely exceeded on behalf of sinners. In this way Christ’s obedience to death was infinitely meritorious and ‘the most exalted part of Christ’s positive righteousness.’ (195-6)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The death of Christ is the apex of Christ’s redemptive work, His greatest act of obedience, and the greatest display of God’s excellent perfections ever accomplished. In this one act of obedience the positive and negative righteousness required by God’s rule of righteousness are satisfied and infinitely exceeded on behalf of sinners. In this way Christ’s obedience to death was infinitely meritorious and ‘the most exalted part of Christ’s positive righteousness.’ (196)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>When given a full view of the fiery furnace in which He was to enter, He was “overwhelmed with the thought; his feeble human nature shrunk at the dismal sight. It put him into this dreadful agony…but his love to sinners held out.” Such would not be undertaken by Christ “needlessly” if the salvation of His elect could be accomplished another way, for “he desired that the cup might pass from him.” Yet, “if sinners, on whom he had set his love, could not, agreeably to the will of God, be saved without his drinking it, he chose that the will of God should be done.” He chose the furnace “rather than those poor sinners whom he had loved from all eternity should perish.” He did not grasp His glory “when the dreadful cup was before Him,” He did not claim His Father’s love to avoid it, nor retreat on account of the vile nature of His enemies for whom the cup would be consumed. “On the contrary, his love held out, and he resolved even then, in the midst of his agony, to yield himself up to the will of God, and to take the cup and drink it.” (220-1)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>All of Christ’s redeeming work on earth was undertaken on behalf of His bride for whom He acted as surety and representative. The Son freely undertook to stand for His bride in binding Himself to the covenant terms and took upon Himself a human nature and body that He might stand as their proper substitute and representative. In every propitiatory and meritorious act of His entire life of humiliation He acted on her behalf, and willingly drank the cup of God’s wrath in her place. In all this, Christ succeeded in meeting and infinitely exceeding the requirement of God’s rule of righteousness for which Christ and His bride would be rewarded. Therefore, Christ’s perfect obedience merited the salvation and exaltation of the elect. (227)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Christ’s perfect obedience to God’s rule of righteousness redeemed His bride in the accomplishment of the ultimate purpose of God. He purchased her happiness that she might dwell with Him and enjoy the glory of Himself and the Father forever. The bride is thus brought into the most intimate of communion with God and made a member of God’s family. (241)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>By the infinite display of God’s excellent perfections in the infinitely meritorious obedience of Christ, unworthy sinners are brought into intimate communion with the persons of the Trinity. United to Christ in His humanity, the saints have an intimacy beyond which they would have enjoyed had Christ not taken upon Himself a human nature, as well as a greater intimacy with the Father in being united to Christ as the eternal Son of God. God designed that through “an intimate enjoyment of the Son,” saints “shall have a most intimate enjoyment of the Father,” so “‘our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ’ (I John 1:3).” (242)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God would not be God if a single soul were saved apart from the perfect satisfaction of God’s unchanging rule of righteousness. And, as the glory of God consists in the excellence of His perfections, there could be no display or communication of the excellence of His perfections if God were not perfectly righteous and just.

(30)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God is glorified to a greater degree when His creatures not only see the display of His glory, but ‘rejoice’ and ‘delight’ in His glory, as that very delight is the Holy Spirit dwelling within the believer. God communicates His glory ‘that it might [be] received both by the mind and heart.’ (32)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The love that is the Father’s delight in the Son and the Son’s delight in the Father is the very same love that is God’s delight in the believer as the Holy Spirit dwells and manifests within the believer His holiness, love, and delight in God. (33)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>As the holiness and happiness of the creature and the glory of God cannot be viewed as separate purposes of God, and as the excellence in the creature is the excellence of God communicated to the creature. (35)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God accomplishes His ultimate purpose to display and communicate His glory to His creatures in His glory displayed in the person and redeeming work of Christ, and in the giving of the Holy Spirit to believers by whom they love and rejoice in the excellence of the Son and the Father. Consequently, God’s ultimate purpose to glorify Himself is one and the same with His purpose to communicate His happiness to His creatures, the whole of which is accomplished in and through the person and redeeming work of Christ. (37-8)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>In all things, Christ is the means by which God manifests His glory. (40)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>For the death of Christ not only satisfied the required penalty of God’s rule of righteousness, but also constituted an infinitely meritorious act of obedience. Indeed, Christ voluntarily condescended from infinite glory to suffer infinite humiliation, to suffer the greatest trial of obedience ever experienced, and to bear the infinite wrath of God for the benefit of infinitely undeserving and hateful creatures. In so doing, Christ accrued infinitely greater merit on behalf of those for whom He died than Adam would have merited for His posterity had he obeyed. The death of Christ is the apex of Christ’s redemptive work, His greatest act of obedience, and the greatest display of God’s excellent perfections ever accomplished. In this one act of obedience the positive and negative righteousness required by God’s rule of righteousness are satisfied and infinitely exceeded on behalf of sinners. In this way Christ’s obedience to death was infinitely meritorious and ‘the most exalted part of Christ’s positive righteousness.’ (195-6)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>The death of Christ is the apex of Christ’s redemptive work, His greatest act of obedience, and the greatest display of God’s excellent perfections ever accomplished. In this one act of obedience the positive and negative righteousness required by God’s rule of righteousness are satisfied and infinitely exceeded on behalf of sinners. In this way Christ’s obedience to death was infinitely meritorious and ‘the most exalted part of Christ’s positive righteousness.’ (196)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>When given a full view of the fiery furnace in which He was to enter, He was “overwhelmed with the thought; his feeble human nature shrunk at the dismal sight. It put him into this dreadful agony…but his love to sinners held out.” Such would not be undertaken by Christ “needlessly” if the salvation of His elect could be accomplished another way, for “he desired that the cup might pass from him.” Yet, “if sinners, on whom he had set his love, could not, agreeably to the will of God, be saved without his drinking it, he chose that the will of God should be done.” He chose the furnace “rather than those poor sinners whom he had loved from all eternity should perish.” He did not grasp His glory “when the dreadful cup was before Him,” He did not claim His Father’s love to avoid it, nor retreat on account of the vile nature of His enemies for whom the cup would be consumed. “On the contrary, his love held out, and he resolved even then, in the midst of his agony, to yield himself up to the will of God, and to take the cup and drink it.” (220-1)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>All of Christ’s redeeming work on earth was undertaken on behalf of His bride for whom He acted as surety and representative. The Son freely undertook to stand for His bride in binding Himself to the covenant terms and took upon Himself a human nature and body that He might stand as their proper substitute and representative. In every propitiatory and meritorious act of His entire life of humiliation He acted on her behalf, and willingly drank the cup of God’s wrath in her place. In all this, Christ succeeded in meeting and infinitely exceeding the requirement of God’s rule of righteousness for which Christ and His bride would be rewarded. Therefore, Christ’s perfect obedience merited the salvation and exaltation of the elect. (227)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>Christ’s perfect obedience to God’s rule of righteousness redeemed His bride in the accomplishment of the ultimate purpose of God. He purchased her happiness that she might dwell with Him and enjoy the glory of Himself and the Father forever. The bride is thus brought into the most intimate of communion with God and made a member of God’s family. (241)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>By the infinite display of God’s excellent perfections in the infinitely meritorious obedience of Christ, unworthy sinners are brought into intimate communion with the persons of the Trinity. United to Christ in His humanity, the saints have an intimacy beyond which they would have enjoyed had Christ not taken upon Himself a human nature, as well as a greater intimacy with the Father in being united to Christ as the eternal Son of God. God designed that through “an intimate enjoyment of the Son,” saints “shall have a most intimate enjoyment of the Father,” so “‘our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ’ (I John 1:3).” (242)   —From The Infinite Merit of Christ</p><p><strong>\"</strong>God would not be God if a single soul were saved apart from the perfect satisfaction of God’s unchanging rule of righteousness. And, as the glory of God consists in the excellence of His perfections, there could be no display or communication of the excellence of His perfections if God were not perfectly righteous and just.
