Doctrines of Grace

Doctrines of Grace

The Doctrines of Grace, as they have come to be called, consist primarily of five key themes about the condition and salvation of men which are demonstrably and thoroughly biblical: Total Depravity, stressing man’s inability to save himself.  Unconditional Election, pointing to the gracious, sovereign choice of sinners made in eternity past.  Limited Atonement (sometimes called Particular Redemption), exhibiting the effective, saving death of Christ for His people.  Irresistible Grace, the marvelous and powerful work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating the elect.  And Perseverance of the Saints, that glorious display of the power of God in forever keeping the people safe whom the Father has chosen and for whom Christ died.
