The Nature And Increase Of Faith

Faith is the gift and the operation of God. It comes by the Holy Spirit’s power rising and strengthening the sublimest faculties of the soul, and is really a regeneration—a…

    44 Bible Doctrine – The Being (Existence) Of God

    May 7, 2025 /

    I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. I am pleased to say that we begin this day with the actual content of Gill’s “Body of Divinity”. We are looking at the first thirty chapters, all dealing with the blessed Godhead of the TriUne Jehovah. Of course, I have rearranged these chapters in order to align them with the Framework of Sovereign Grace. These chapters are located on the top right corner of the diagram, next to the TriUne Jehovah, all of which deal with the being, existence and perfections of the Godhead.

    Body Of Divinity: The Being (Existence) Of God (DB1/C1)

    May 7, 2025 /

    Having undertaken to write a System of Theology, or a Body of Doctrinal Divinity; and Theology being nothing else than a speaking of God, or a discoursing concerning him; his nature, names, perfections, and persons; his purposes, providences, ways, works, and word: I shall begin with the Being of God, and the proof and evidence of it; which is the foundation of all religion; for if there is no God, religion is a vain thing; and it matters not neither what we believe, nor what we do; since there is no superior Being to whom we are accountable for either faith or practice.

    The Being (Existence) Of God

    May 7, 2025 /

    The existence of God is the first principle of truth set forth in the Holy Scriptures. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Gen 1:1) There is no attempt to prove the existence of God by arguments of science or reason. This knowledge is imparted to the soul at the time of conception, insomuch that every person brought into the world instinctively knows that God is real. Those who deny His existence are only suppressing what God has engraven upon their hearts.

    The Life And Influence Of Joseph Philpot

    February 4, 2025 /

    We do not need anything to remind us that it is a twelvemonth since our late friend and editor departed this life. The fact is brought most painfully to our mind every month, and almost every day of the month; certainly for twenty days in the month. But in turning over a hill of papers, we were reminded more strongly than usual by coming upon the following letters. They may be by some thought to be out of date; but they are not out of date with us, and will, we doubt not, be read with interest by many.

    The True, Proper, And Eternal Sonship Of The Lord Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son Of God

    December 19, 2024 /

    A controversy concerning the eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ broke out among the Strict and Particular Baptist churches during the 19th century. The orthodox view, set forth by John Gill in his Body of Divinity, and defended by Joseph Philpot in this book, asserts that the second Person of the Godhead is the Son of God in His divine nature, eternally generated by the Father. The erroneous view asserts that the second Person of the Godhead is the Son of God in His human nature only, begotten of the Father at the time of the incarnation. Although the persons holding this view maintain a belief in the TriUnity of the Godhead, yet their denial of the eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ…

    The Apostle Paul instructed the believers at Colosse to teach and admonish one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. That is what I hope to do by explaining the meaning of this hymn, against the backdrop of the Framework of Sovereign Grace.
