It Is God That Justifieth
Some months ago we spent several weeks considering Paul’s teaching on election and justification in Romans chapter 8:28-32. We learned how covenant grace extends from eternity to eternity, founded on everlasting love and culminating in the saints’ eternal glory. We learned how ‘all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose’. We learned how Christ gave His life ‘a ransom for many’ and how with Him we have been given ‘all things’ needful for our spiritual and temporal good.

The Doctrines Of Grace
The Doctrines of Grace describes a set of Bible teachings that summarise the gospel of Jesus Christ. They explain the nature of God’s free and sovereign grace in the salvation of sinners. When someone says they believe the ‘doctrines of grace’ they are saying they believe the Bible teaches the following truths with respect to man’s sinful state and God’s mercy. Sometimes these doctrines are called TULIP from the first letter of each heading.

I Will That They Be With Me
In our verses today we are presented with a clear statement of Christ’s will for His people. ‘Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory.’ Some argue that man’s ‘freewill’ should determine who goes to heaven. For our part we are content to accept that the will of Christ the God-man has primacy in such matters. Sovereign divine will has pre-eminence over fallen human will and we believe the Saviour’s good pleasure will not be denied.
