Concerning God, His Being, The Trinity

I. Concerning God.

   A. His Being.

      2. The Trinity.

         By the Trinity is meant the unity of three persons in
         one Godhead; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

         Representing God as one, the Scriptures also ascribe
         divinity to Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

                     Course of the Argument

         a. God is one.  Unity is ascribed to God.
         b. The Father is divine: a distinct person.
         c. The Son is divine: a distinct person.
         d. The Holy Spirit is divine: a distinct person.
         e. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are classed
            together, separately from all other beings.

         a. God is one. (See passages cited under Attributes,
            Unity.)

         b. The Father is divine and a distinct person.  The
            Word "Father" is used in the Scriptures in a
            two-fold sense in relation to the Godhead: sometimes
            as equivalent to God, sometimes to the first person
            of the Trinity.

            1. Passages where "Father" is used as equivalent to
               God, not implying personal distinctions. De
               32:6; 2Sa 7:14; 1Ch 29:10; Ps 89:26; Isa 63:16;
               Jer 3:19; Mal 2:10; Mt 6:9; Mr 11:25; Lu 12:30;
               Joh 4:21,23,24; 2Co 6:18; Php 4:20; Jas 1:17; 1Jo
               2:15,16

            2. Passages applied to God in contrast with Christ,
               denoting a special relation to Christ as Son, in
               His office of Redeemer. Ps 2:1-11; Mt 11:27;
               25:34; Mr 8:38; 14:36; Joh 5:18-23,26,27; Joh
               10:15,30; 17:1; Ac 2:33; Ro 15:6; 1Co 8:6; 15:24;
               2Co 11:31; Ga 1:1-4; Eph 1:2,3; 4:5,6; Php 1:2;
               1Th 3:11,13; 2Th 2:16; 1Ti 1:2; 2Ti 1:2; Tit 1:4;
               Phm 1:3; 1Pe 1:2,3; 2Pe 1:17; 1Jo 1:3; 1Jo 4:14;
               Jude 1:1; Re 3:21

         c. The Son divine, a distinct person from the Father.

            1. Christ pre-existent.  Existed as a distinct
               person before He came into the world. Mic 5:2;
               Joh 8:56-58; 17:5; 1Co 15:47; Php 2:6,7; Col
               1:17; 1Jo 1:1; Re 22:13,16 (read 13 & 16
               together)

            2. Not merely pre-existent, but pre-eminent, above
               all things except the Father, co-eternal with the
               Father. Mt 11:27; 28:18; Lu 20:41-44; Joh
               3:13,31; Ac 10:36; Ro 14:9; Eph 1:20-22; Php

               1:5; 3:14

            3. Creator of the universe. Joh 1:3; Col 1:16; Heb
               1:2,10

                  11:25; 1Co 1:24; Php 3:21; Col 2:10; 2Ti 1:10;
                  Heb 1:3; Re 1:8

               b. Omnipresence. Mt 18:20; 28:20; Eph 1:23

               c. Eternity. Mic 5:2; Joh 1:1; Re 1:8

               d. Omniscience. Mt 11:27; Lu 10:22; Joh 2:24,25;
                  21:17; Ac 1:24; Col 2:3; Re 2:23

            5. The divine name is applied to Him as to no other
               being except the Father, implying supreme
               divinity. Ps 102:24,25; Heb 1:8-10; Isa 7:14;
               9:6; Mal 3:1; Mt 1:23; Joh 1:1; 20:28; Ac 20:28;
               Ro 9:5; Eph 5:5; Php 2:6; Col 2:9; Tit 1:3; 2:13;
               Heb 1:8-10; Ps 102:24,25; 2Pe 1:1; 1Jo 5:20; Re
               17:14; 19:16

            6. Exhibited in the Scriptures as the object of
               religious worship. Mt 2:11; 14:33; 15:25; Lu
               24:52; Joh 5:23; Ac 7:59,60; 1Co 1:2; 2Co 12:8,9;
               Ga 1:5; Php 2:10; 1Th 3:11,12; 2Ti 4:18; Heb 1:6;
               Ps 97:7; 2Pe 3:18; Re 5:13

         d. The Holy Spirit is divine and a distinct person from
            the Father and the Son.

            1. The Holy Spirit is divine.  Called the Spirit of
               the Father, the Spirit of the Son, the Holy
               Spirit, the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of life.
               Ge 1:2; 6:3; Ne 9:30; Isa 63:10; Eze 36:27,28;
               Ac 2:16,17; Joe 2:28; Mt 10:20; Lu 12:12; Joh
               14:16,17; 15:26; Ac 5:3,4; 28:25; Ro 8:14; 1Co

               1:2

            2. Is distinct from Father and Son, and is personal.
               The personal pronoun He applied to Him;
               personal acts ascribed to Him. Mt 3:16,17;
               28:19; Mr 1:10,11; Lu 3:21,22; Joh 14:26; 15:26;
               16:13; Ac 13:2,4; 15:28; Ro 8:26; 1Co 12:11

            3. Converting, regenerating power ascribed to Him.
               Ne 9:20; Isa 44:3; Eze 36:26,27; 37:14; Joe
               2:28; Mt 3:11; Joh 3:5,6; 14:26; Ac 9:31; Ro
               8:9,11,14; 1Co 6:11; 2Co 1:22; 5:5; Ga 4:6; 5:22;
               Eph 1:13; 3:16; 1Th 1:6; 2Th 2:13; Tit 3:5; 1Pe
               1:2; 1Jo 3:24; Re 22:17

         e. The Father, Son, and Spirit are classed together,
            separately from all other beings, as divine. Mt
            28:19; Ro 8:9,14-17; 2Co 13:14; 1Pe 1:2; Jude
            1:20,21

            Result of the Biblical evidence in respect to the
            divinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
            Spirit.

            1. That the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are
               personally distinguished from each other.  There
               is recognized throughout a personal relation of
               the Father and Son to each other.  So of the Holy
               Spirit to both.

            2. They each have divine names and attributes.

            3. Yet there is only one God.

         "This term, in its widest application, signifies the
         Divine Presence in the world as sustaining,
         controlling, and guiding to their destination all
         things that are made.  The will of God determines the
         end for which His creatures exist; His wisdom and His
         goodness appoint the means by which that end is
         attained: in the conservation of the frame of nature,
         in the care of all creatures that have wants, in the
         government especially of intelligent and probationary
         beings; and His power ensures the accomplishment of
         every design."--Pope

         a. The universe as such is the object of conservation.
            What God has brought into being is continued in

               Prince of the devils. Mr 3:22. Murderer and
               liar. Joh 8:44. Prince of this world. Joh
               12:31; 14:30. God of this world. 2Co 4:4.
               Prince of the power of the air. Eph 2:2.
               Adversary. 1Pe 5:8. Apollyon. Re 9:11. The
               old serpent, the deceiver. Re 12:9. The
               accuser. Re 12:10. The dragon. Re 20:2.

            2. Personality. Mt 4:1-11; Joh 8:44; 2Co 11:3,14

            3. Other evil angels subordinated to him. Mt
               12:24-28; Lu 10:18; Eph 2:2; 6:12; Re 9:11; 20:2

            4. Power and work of Satan and his angels

               a. Mt 4:1-11; 1Co 5:5; 2Co 4:4; 11:14; Eph
                  6:11,12; 2Th 2:9,10; 1Ti 3:7; Heb 2:14; Re
                  12:9

               b. Prominent examples of temptation. Adam and
                  Eve. David. Christ. Judas. Ananias and
                  Sapphira.

               c. Demoniacs were persons possessed of demons,
                  agents of Satan.

        g. Cherubim and Seraphim

           1. Some hold that the cherubim are real, personal
              creatures; others that they are ideal beings.  The
              term "living creature" is applied to the same
              beings.  May be regarded as symbolical of the
              highest properties of creature life and typical of
              redeemed manhood. Ge 3:24; Ex 25:22; 1Sa 4:4; Eze
              1:5-25; 10:1-22; Re 4:6-9; 5:6-14; 6:1-7

           2. Seraphim. Mentioned only in Isa. 6.  Probably the
              same as cherubim.

       Jer 27:5; Zec 12:1; 1Co 11:9,10

    2. The Race has a Common Origin. Ge 1:27; 5:1-3; 7:21-24;
       9:18,19; Isa 63:16; 64:8; Mal 2:10; Mt 6:9; Lu 11:2; Ac
       17:26-29; 1Co 8:6; Eph 4:6

    3. Man a Compound Being, Consisting of Body and Spirit. Ge
       2:7; Ec 12:7; Mt 10:28; 22:32; Lu 8:55; 1Co 15:45; 2Co
       5:6,8; 1Th 5:23

    4. Man is the Offspring of God.  See the texts under "Common
       Origin," also, Lu 3:38; Joh 20:17

    5. Man was Created in God's Image.

       a. This includes knowledge, feeling, and will. Ge

Concerning Sin

III. Concerning Sin.

    1. Its Nature.

       a. Its origin, as regards the human race. The first man
          and woman, by their own choice, violated the law of
          God; they sinned against God. Ge 3

       b. Words, which describe sin in some of its forms.
          Hebrew: "Chata," to go out of the way, to miss the
          mark. "Pasha," to transgress. "Avah," to twist, to act
          perversely. Greek: "Hamaritia," a missing of the mark.
          "Paraptoma," a falling away from law, truth, right.
          "Parabasis," a going over or beyond truth and right,
          transgression. "Anomia," lawlessness. "Asebeia,"
          irreverence.

       c. Definition.  "Sin is any want of conformity unto, or
          transgression of, the law of God."

    2. Its Extent and Penalty.

       a. By sinning, our first parents incurred the penalty of
          eternal death, including loss of communion with God,
          supremacy of worldly affections, and consequent
          misery, wretchedness, and pain. Ge 2:17; Eze 18:4; Mt
          25:46; Ro 5:12; 6:23; 1Co 15:58; Ga 6:8; Jas 1:15

       b. Sin natural to every human being, depravity being
          hereditary. Ps 51:5; 58:3; Jer 17:9; Joh 3:6; Ro
          5:12-19; 7:14-24; 8:7; 1Co 15:22; Ga 5:17,19-21; Eph
          2:1,3

       c. All men sinners; therefore subject to same penalty
          incurred by the first sin. Ge 6:5,11,12; 1Ki 8:46;
          2Ch 6:36; Ps 53:1-3; Pr 20:6,9; Ec 7:20; Joh 3:19; Ro
          3:9-18,23; 11:32; Ga 3:22; 1Jo 1:8,10

       d. Therefore all need redemption. Joh 3:5,6; Ro 5:18;
          7:24,25; 2Co 5:14,15,19; Ga 3:21,22; Tit 2:14; Heb
          2:9; 1Jo 2:2


Concerning Redemption, Introductory

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   1. Introductory and General Statements.

      The sin and ruin of man gave occasion for the gracious
      interposition of God.  In the curse upon the serpent was
      intimated the purpose of redemption.
      Ge 3:15

      a. There is, however, no Self-redemption.

         The fall of man wrought a change in both his nature and
         his condition.  To be redeemed he must be placed where
         he was before, both as to character and as to state.
         His purity must be restored; his condemnation must be
         removed.  Man cannot redeem himself, because--

         1. The legal difficulty is insuperable.  The divine law
            requires a perfect obedience. Mt 22:37; Ga 3:10
            There can be no surplus obedience, no reparation
            for sin that is past.

         2. The moral difficulty is insuperable. Job 14:14; Joh
            3:6 There is no tendency in that which is sinful to
            that which is holy.  No sinner can regain by
            self-effort alone the purity which he has lost; but
            this is indispensable to redemption. Heb 12:14

      b. No Redemption by other Creatures.

         It is equally certain that, while sinful man cannot
         redeem himself, no other creature can redeem him.  The
         fact of creatureship necessitates dependence and
         obligation.  The highest angel and all the angels are
         under law to God.  That law is perfect, it exacts their
         whole power of love and service.  By no possibility can
         they love and serve God except for themselves alone.
         To find a being qualified and able to redeem, we must
         find one over whom the law has no jurisdiction.  In the
         presence of that being we are in the presence of God.

      c. Will God redeem?

         1. Nature furnishes presumptive evidence that God will
            redeem.  Nature show the goodness of God.  His gifts
            are not determined by the moral character of man.
            Ps 103:10; 145:15,16; 147:8,9; Mt 5:45; 6:26

         2. In the world man is subject to many evils as to his
            body, but all around him are remedies in nature.

         3. The universal presence of sacrifice is another
            presumption.  It is probable that sacrifice did not
            originate with man, but in the appointment of God.
            Ge 3:21

         4. If nature is uncertain, revelation is clear and
            conclusive.  From the fall of Adam to the birth of
            Christ the divine purpose was constantly being more
            fully and clearly revealed. Ge 3:15; 4:4; 5:24-29;
            6:8; 14:18; Joh 8:56; Isa 53:1-12; Da 9:24-27; Joe
            2:28-32; Zec 13:1-7

         5. The presence and work of the Holy Spirit also
            attested. Ge 6:3; Ex 31:2,3; Jud 6:34; 11:29; Ne
            9:20; Isa 44:3,4; 59:21; 63:11; Hag 2:5

      d. The Redeemer, or Messiah, has Already Come.

         It is plain from the prophecies and from their
         historical fulfilment that the Messiah must have long
         since come. Ge 49:10; Da 9:25; Hag 2:6-9; Mal 3:1

      e. Jesus Christ the Messiah, as shown by Fulfilled Prophecies.

         1. Was to be from eternity the fellow of God. Isa 9:6;
            Mic 5:2; Zec 13:7; Mt 3:17; Joh 1:1-3; 1Jo 5:20

         2. To be born not by ordinary generation, but of a
            virgin. Isa 7:14; Mt 1:18-25; Lu 1:26-33

         3. In Bethlehem of Judea. Mic 5:2; Lu 2:4,11; Mt
            2:4-6; Joh 7:42

         4. To come while the sceptre still lingered with Judah,
            near by the close of the weeks predicted by Daniel,
            and while the second temple was yet standing. Ge
            49:10; Mt 2:1; Da 9:25; Lu 2:1; Hag 2:6-9; Mt
            24:1,2

         5. To be of the race of Abraham, of the tribe of Judah,
            of the family of David. Ge 22:18; 49:10; 2Sa 7:16;
            Isa 11:1-9

         6. To come in humble circumstances. Isa 53:2; Lu
            2:7-24; Isa 49:7; Mt 8:20; Mr 6:3

         7. To make Himself known by works of mercy and of
            supernatural power. Isa 35:3-6; Joh 5:36,37; Isa
            42:7; 61:1-3; Joh 10:24,25

         8. To be despised and rejected of men. Isa 53:3-7; Joh
            1:10,11; Lu 23:18-21

         9. To be cut off by a violent death and His body to be
            pierced. Isa 53:8; Da 9:26; Lu 23:23,33; Ps 22:16;
            Joh 20:25; Zec 12:10; Joh 19:34

        10. Other prophecies concerning His death. Ps 22:7,8;
            Mt 27:39-43; Ps 69:21; Mt 27:34; Ps 22:18; Joh
            19:23,24; Ex 12:46; Joh 19:33,36; Isa 53:12; Mr
            15:27; Isa 53:9; Mt 27:57-60

        11. To rise from the dead, to ascend on high, leading
            captivity captive. Ps 16:9-11; Mt 28:5-7; Ps 68:18;
            Ac 1:9-11

      f. The Incarnation.

         The word incarnation comes from Latin words (in and
         caro, carnis, flesh) meaning "in the flesh."  To become
         incarnate is to become a man.  Remaining God, Christ
         became man and as such lived among men.  The divine was
         not changed into the human, or co-mingled with the
         human so that it became what it was not before, but
         the divine took the human into union with itself and
         so entered a form or mode of being which was new as
         well as mysterious.  As by faith we understand that
         the world was framed by the word of God, so by faith we
         understand that He who framed the world became
         incarnate. Heb 1:1-14; 11:3

         While incarnation could not affect the nature and
         properties of Deity, it did affect their manifestation.
         The glory which the Son had with the Father was not
         visible when He was among men. Joh 17:5; Php 2:7; Joh
         1:14; Lu 1:32

         To the sight of men the human was the more constant and
         conspicuous.  At times, however, there was the clear
         shining forth of Deity. Mt 7:28,29; Joh 3:2; 7:46; Mt
         17:1,2

      g. Old Testament Intimations of the Incarnation.

         1. In the first promise.  In the renewal of the promise
            to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David He was to be
            their seed. Ge 3:15; 22:18; 28:14; 2Sa 7:12-29

         2. The theophanies of the old covenant were
            manifestations of God in the person of His Son.

            - To Abraham. Ge 18:1-33
            - To Jacob. Ge 32:22-32
            - To Joshua. Jos 5:13; 6:5
            - To Manoah and his wife. Jud 13:1-25

         3. Isaiah said: "A Virgin shall conceive, and bear a
            son" Isa 7:14. This would make Him human, at the
            same time His name was Immanuel, God with us. (See
            also, Isa 9:6; Zec 13:7; Mt 26:31.)

      h. Necessity of the Incarnation.

         Its necessity in the fact of sin.  God under no
         obligation to redeem lost men, but, on the supposition
         of redemption, the Redeemer must become incarnate.

         1. God alone could redeem. The law broken must be
            vindicated, the nature defiled must be renewed. Men
            and angels are utterly incompetent in such an
            exigency.  The case necessitates a divine Redeemer.

         2. God Himself in redeeming men must do it righteously.
            His perfect law cannot be set aside. The Redeemer
            must come under the law, under its jurisdiction and
            its power. But to do this He must come out of the
            sphere of absolute God-head into that of real
            manhood. Heb 2:14-16. It was impossible that He
            should cease to be God; it was not impossible that
            He should assume into union with Himself the nature
            of man.

      i. The Mediator.

         The Greek word for mediator is emites, meaning one who
         goes between, or in the middle.  It embraces the
         additional ideas of variance and reconciliation.

         1. The word mediator does not in itself indicate by
            what means mediation is to be made.

            a. In the case of a misapprehension the mediator
               would only need to explain, or be an interpreter.

            b. In a case of deliberate wrong the mediator
               would seek the clemency and favour of the
               offended party, and thus become an intercessor.

            c. If, further, the case were such that there were
               grave liabilities in law and right resting upon
               the offending party, it would be requisite for
               the mediator to obtain for him, or himself become
               a sponsor, or to use the Scriptural word, a
               surety or bondsman.

            d. If the obligations resting upon the offending
               party were such as he could not in his own
               person, or by his own resources satisfy, it
               would behove the mediator to take them upon
               himself, and actually meeting them became his
               redemptor, or redeemer.

         2. The application of this idea to Christ.  The word
            mediator as applied to Jesus Christ has this
            definite meaning--He comes between men and
            God--separated and at variance by reason of sin-- to
            effect their reconciliation, in harmony with eternal
            truth, right, and holiness. Heb 2:9-18; 4:14-16;
            5:9.

      j. Atonement.

         1. The usage of the English word.

            a. Its verbal meaning.  This is seen by pronouncing
               it at-one-ment.  In this verbal sense the word
               expresses a result, not that by which the
               result is gained.

            b. In theology the word is commonly used to denote
               that part of the priestly work of Christ by
               which He made satisfaction to the law and justice
               of God for the sins of men, and in view of which
               men are saved.  In this use it expresses not
               reconciliation itself, but that which reconciles.

         2. Scriptural words in this connection.

            a. In the Old Testament the fundamental Hebrew word
               for atonement means to cover. Ps 32:1.
               According to it, sin is expiated or atoned for by
               covering it.

            b. In the New Testament. (1) Katallage (Ro 5:11),
               means a change or an exchange; i.e., a change
               from enmity to love, and so reconciliation. (2)
               Apolutrosis (Ro 3:24), deliverance by a ransom
               or by payment of price. Mat 20:28; 1Pe 1:18,19.
               (3) Hilasmos, propitiation.  Both Jews and
               Gentiles perfectly understood the meaning of
               hilasmos.  When under a sense of sin they would
               make a propitiation--they approached the altar
               and laid upon it the sacrificial victim. 1Jo
               2:2.

            c. If now we combine and formulate these ideas, we
               see that the atonement of Christ is that
               satisfaction to the law and justice of God for
               the sins of men, which, as the one great High
               Priest, He made by His own obedience unto death,
               and on the ground of which He carries on His acts
               of intercession and benediction in heaven.

      k. Redemption (In contrast with atonement.)

         Atonement is the ground and means of redemption,
         while redemption is the result of atonement.
         Redemption consists of two parts, the one legal, the
         other moral. The work of Christ meets the demands of
         the law and man is justified. The work of the Spirit
         renews the depraved nature and reforms the sinner in
         the divine image, and man is sanctified.


Concerning Redemption, The Person of the Redeemer

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   B. The Person of the Redeemer.

      1. He is truly God.

         (See texts on The Trinity)

      2. He is truly Man.

         His human nature the same as that of other men, because
         He is of the stock of Abraham.

         a. General references. Mt 12:8,13-37; 16:13; 25:31;

Concerning Redemption, The Work of the Redeemer

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   C. The work of the Redeemer as Prophet, Priest, and King.

      1. As prophet.

         A prophet of God is one who has authority and who has
         the necessary qualifications to convey God's messages
         to men.  He may also be an interpreter.

         a. Christ executed the office of prophet, by His word
            and by His works. Mt 5:24

         b. Also through other agents: through His Spirit, by
            inspiration, by spiritual illumination, through the
            officers of the church inspired as apostles,
            prophets, and teachers. Eph 4:11,12; 1Jo 2:20;
            5:20. He continues to execute the office of prophet
            through eternity. Re 7:17; 21:23

      2. As priest.

         A priest is one who is qualified and authorized to
        "draw near to the Lord for men." Ex 19:22; Heb 5:1.

         a. Must be taken from among men to represent them. Ex
            28:9,12,21,29; Heb 5:12

         b. Must be chosen by God. Ex 28:1; Nu 16:5; Heb 5:4

         c. Must be holy--morally pure and consecrated to God.
            Ex 39:30,31; Le 21:6,8; Ps 106:16

         d. Must have a right to draw near to Jehovah and to
            offer sacrifices and make intercession. Ex 19:22;
            Le 16:3,7,12,15; Nu 16:5

         e. The Old Testament declares Christ to be a priest.
            Ps 110:4; Heb 5:6; 6:20; Zec 6:13

         f. Priestly functions ascribed to Him. Isa 53:10; Da
            9:24,25. The temple and its services and all Old
            Testament sacrifices typical of Christ and His work.
            He superseded these. Col 2:17; Heb 9:10-12;
            10:11,12

         g. New Testament proof.  Was taken from among men to
            stand for them for God. Heb 2:16; 4:15. Was chosen
            by God. Heb 5:5,6. Was perfectly holy. Lu 1:35;
            Heb 7:26. Has the right of the nearest access and
            the greatest influence with the Father. Joh 11:42;
            16:28; Heb 1:3; 9:11-24

            1. He "mediated" in the general sense of the term.
               Joh 14:6; 1Ti 2:5; Heb 8:6

            2. He offered propitiation. Eph 5:25; Heb 9:26;
               10:12; 1Jo 2:2

            3. He makes intercession. Ro 8:4; Heb 7:25; 1Jo
               2:1

         h. Christ as priest made atonement for us, was made a
            substitute for us.  A substitute is one appointed or
            accepted to act or to suffer in the stead of
            another, and His actions or sufferings are
            vicarious.

            1. The Greek preposition huper, with the genitive,
               sometimes signifies instead of, and the
               construction is used to set forth the relation of
               Christ's work to us. 2Co 5:14,15,20; Ga 3:13;
               Phm 1:13; 1Pe 3:18

            2. The preposition anti definitely and always
               expressed substitution. Mt 2:22; 5:38; 20:28; Mr
               10:45; 1Ti 2:6

            3. The same is true as to what the Scriptures teach
               as to our sins being laid upon Christ. Le 7:18;
               Nu 18:27; Ps 106:31; Isa 53:12; Lu 22:36; Ro
               2:26; 4:3-9; 2Co 5:19-21; Ga 3:13

            4. The effects of Christ's action as priest are shown.

               a. As toward God, they are declared to be
                  propitiatory. Ro 3:25,26; Heb 2:17; 1Jo 2:2;
                  4:10

               b. As respects the sinner, they are declared to
                  be redemption, deliverance by ransom. Isa
                  51:11; 62:12; 1Co 7:23; Ga 3:13,14; 1Ti 2:6;
                  1Pe 1:18,19; Re 5:9

      2. As King.

         The kingdom of Christ a very prominent subject in
         Scripture. Da 2:44; Mt 13; 22:1-14; Lu 13:22-30;
         17:20,21; Ro 14:17; Eph 1:10,20-22; 1Pe 3:22

         a. Christ's authority embraces the universe. Mt 28:18;
            Eph 1:17-23; Php 2:9-11. It is distinguished as --

            1. His kingdom of power, embracing the entire
               universe in His providential and judicial
               administration. Joh 5:22-27; 9:39; 1Co 15:25;
               Heb 10:12,13

            2. His kingdom of grace, spiritual alike as to its
               subjects, laws, modes of administration and
               instrumentalities.

            3. His kingdom of glory, the consummation of His
               gracious administration, will continue forever.

         b. The object of Christ's authority is to accomplish
            the salvation of His church. Eph 1:22,23

            1. To cause all things to work together for the good
               of His people. Ro 8:28

            2. To establish a kingdom for them. Lu 22:29; Joh
               14:2

               a. To subjugate all His enemies. 1Co 15:25

               b. That all should worship Him. Heb 1:6; Re
                  5:9-13

         c. The following are some of the titles to this
            kingdom, with the sense in which they are used.

            1. The kingdom of God, Lu 4:43, because of
               divine origin and the authority of God exercised
               in its administration.

            2. The kingdom of Christ, Mt 16:28; Col 1:13,
               because He is in person the immediate sovereign.

            3. The kingdom of heaven, Mt 11:12, because its
               origin and characteristics are from heaven and
               its consummation is to be in heaven.

         d. Christ's administration of His kingdom presents two
            aspects:-- (1) As militant. Eph 6:11-17. (2) As
            glorified, or triumphant. Re 3:21. Accordingly
            Christ is represented as a great Captain, (Re
            19:11,16), and as a Prince reigning upon His
            throne. Re 21:5,22,23

            The throne upon which Christ sits is represented as
            -- A throne of grace. Heb 4:16. A throne of
            judgment. Re 20:11-15. A throne of glory. Re 4:3;
            5:6

         e. The sense in which Christ's kingdom is spiritual.

            1. The king is a spiritual and not an earthly
               sovereign. Mt 20:28; Joh 18:36

            2. His throne is at the right hand of God. Heb 1:3

            3. His sceptre is spiritual. Ps 110:2; Isa 61:1-3;
               63:1

            4. The citizens of the kingdom are spiritual men.
               Joh 4:24

            5. The mode in which He administers His government
               is spiritual. Zec 4:6,7

            6. His laws are spiritual. Joh 4:24

            7. The blessings and penalties of His kingdom are
               spiritual. 1Co 3:4-11; 2Co 10:4; Eph 1:3-8; 2Ti
               4:2; Tit 2:15

         f. Christ as seated at the right hand of the Father.
            Some of the language may be figurative, but it sets
            forth the glorification of Christ in heaven.  It
            presents Him as the God-man exalted to supreme and
            universal glory and power. Ps 110:1; Da 7:13,14; Mt
            26:64; Mr 16:19; Joh 5:22; Ro 8:34; Eph 1:20-22; Php
            2:9-11; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3,4; 2:9; 10:12; 1Pe 3:22; Re
            5:6

         Spirit.

         He came upon men and clothed them with the power of God

Concerning Redemption, The Work of Redemption

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   E. The Work of Redemption as Related to the Believer.

      1. The Union between Christ and the Believer.

         a. As to its nature.

            1. Christ as the second Adam (1Co 15:22) assumes
               in the covenant of grace those broken obligations
               of the covenant of works which the first Adam
               failed to discharge, and fulfils them all in
               behalf of all His "sheep"--those whom the Father
               has given Him.

            2. Its spiritual and vital character.

               a. It is a spiritual union. 1Co 6:17; 12:13;
                  1Jo 3:24; 4:13

               b. It is a vital union. Joh 14:19; Ga 2:20

               c. It embraces our entire persons. 1Co 6:15,19

               d. It is an indissoluble union. Joh 10:28;
                  14:23; 17:21,23; 1Th 4:14,17

         b. As to its consequences (in general)--

            1. Believers have a community with Christ in His
               covenant standing and rights. Ro 8:1; Eph
               1:6,11,13; Php 3:8,9; Col 2:10

               His mediatorial office embraces three principal
               functions:-- (1) Prophet. In fellowship with Him
               the believer is a prophet. Joh 16:13; 1Jo 2:27.
               (2) Priest. The believer is also a priest in Him.
               Isa 61:6; 1Pe 2:5; Re 20:6. (3) King. In Him
               the believer is also a king. 1Pe 2:9; Re 3:21;
               5:10

            2. Believers have fellowship with Him in the
               transforming, assimilating power of His life.

               a. As to their souls. Ro 8:9; Php 2:5; 1Jo 3:2

               b. As to their bodies. Ro 6:5; 1Co 6:17,19;
                  15:47,49; Php 3:21. Thus bearing fruit to
                  Christ, both in their bodies and in their
                  spirits which are His. Joh 15:5; 2Co 12:9;
                  1Jo 1:6

            3. This leads to fellowship with Christ, in
               experience, labours, sufferings, temptation,
               death, and finally, in His glory. Ga 6:17; Php
               3:10; Heb 12:3; 1Pe 4:13

            4. Also to Christ's rightful fellowship with them in
               all they possess. Ro 14:8; 1Co 6:19,20

            5. Also to the consequence that in the spiritual
               reception of the ordinances, they do really hold
               fellowship with Him. They are baptised into
               Christ. Joh 6:51,56; 1Co 10:16; 11:26; Ga 3:27

      2. Doctrines Connected with the Union of Christ with the
         Believer.

         a. Repentance.

            1. Repentance includes a sense of personal guilt,
               pollution, and helplessness, an apprehension of
               the mercy of God in Christ, grief and hatred of
               sin, a resolute turning from it unto God, and a
               persistent endeavour after a new life of holy
               obedience.

            2. True repentance brings the believer to see and
               appreciate the holiness of God as revealed alike
               in the law and in the gospel, and in that light
               to see and feel the exceeding sinfulness of all
               sin as well as the sinfulness of his own nature.
               Job 42:6; Ps 51:4-9; Ro 3:20

            3. The awakened conscience echoes God's law, and can
               be appeased by no less a propitiation than that
               demanded by divine justice itself.

            4. The evidence of genuine repentance.

               a. To be determined by prayerful study of the
                  Scriptures in connection with
                  self-examination.

               b. By the hatred and forsaking of secret as well
                  as of open sins, the choice of God's service
                  as both right and desirable, public
                  confession, and practical consecration.

            5. Scripture examples of repentance.

                a. True. 2Sa 12:13; Ps 51:4; 2Sa 24:10; Lu
                   15:18,21; 18:13

                b. False. Ex 9:27,34; 10:16,20; 1Sa 15:24; Mt
                   27:4,5

         b. Faith.

            1. New Testament usage.

               a. That state of mind which is induced by
                  persuasion. Ro 14:22

               b. Good faith, fidelity, sincerity. Ro 3:3; Tit
                  2:10

               c. Assent to the truth. Php 1:27; 2Th 2:13

               d. Faith toward, on, or in God. Mr 11:22; 1Th
                  1:8; Heb 6:1; 1Pe 1:21. In Christ. Ac 24:24;
                  Rom 3:25; Ga 2:16-20

               e. The object of faith; viz., the revelation of
                  the gospel. Ro 1:5; 10:8; 1Ti 4:1; Jude
                  1:3,20

            2. Knowledge is the apprehension of an object as
               true, and faith is an assent to its truth. In
               this general sense every exercise of faith
               includes the knowledge of the object assented to.

            3. Religious faith rests, first, upon the
               faithfulness of God as pledged in His
               supernatural revelation, Joh 3:33; second, upon
               the evidence of spiritual illumination, personal
               experience of the power of the truth, and the
               witness of the Holy Spirit. Thus it rests not in
               the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1Co
               2:5-12

            4. The two kinds of evidence by which we know that
               God has revealed certain truths as objects of
               faith.

               a. The evidence in the truth itself--moral,
                  spiritual, experimental, rational. Jer 23:29;
                  Joh 6:33; 14:7,26

               b. The accrediting evidence of the presence and
                  power of God accompanying the promulgation of
                  the truth, and proving that it is from Him.
                  These are miracles, providential periods, and
                  the fulfilment of prophecy. Joh 5:36; Heb
                  2:4

            5. That saving faith includes trust is proved from
               the uniform and single condition of salvation as
               presented in the Scriptures, expressed in the
               words "believe in, or on, Christ." Joh 7:38; Ac
               9:42; 16:31; Ga 2:16. To believe in, or on, a
               person, necessarily implies trust as well as
               credit. Ac 26:18; Ga 3:26; 2Ti 3:15; Heb 11:1

            6. The same proved from expressions used in the
               Scriptures as equivalent to the phrase "believing
               in Christ."  Such expressions are: Receiving
               Christ, Joh 1:12. Looking to Christ, Isa
               45:22; Nu 21:19; Joh 3:14,15. Fleeing for
               refuge, Heb 6:18. Coming to Christ, Mt 11:28;
               Joh 6:35,37. Committing unto Christ 2Ti 1:12

            7. The object of faith is the person and work of the
               Lord Jesus Christ as mediator.

               a. We are justified by that faith of which Christ
                  is the object. Ro 3:22,25; Ga 2:16; Php 3:9

               b. Saved by faith in Christ. Joh 1:12; 3:16,36;
                  6:35; Ac 10:43; 16:31

               c. The rejection of Christ, or refusal to submit
                  to the righteousness of God declared to be the
                  ground of reprobation.  Joh 3:18,19; 8:24

            8. Assurance of salvation attainable through faith.

               Directly asserted. Ro 8:16; 2Pe 1:10; 1Jo 2:3;
               3:14; 5:13. Scriptural examples: 2Ti 1:12;
               4:7,8. Begets unfeigned humility. 1Co 15:10; Ga
               6:14. Leads to ever increasing diligence in
               practical religion. Ps 51:12,13,19. Also to
               candid self-examination and a desire to be
               searched and corrected by God. Ps 139:23,24.
               Also to constant aspirations after nearer
               conformity to, and more intimate communion with
               God. 1Jo 3:2,3

            9. Living faith leads to good works. Ac 15:9;
               26:18; Ga 5:6; Jas 2:14-26; 1Jo 5:4

         c. Regeneration.

            1. Scripture terms by which this work of God is
               designated: Creating. Eph 4:24. Begetting. 1Jo
               4:7. Quickening. Joh 5:21; Eph 2:5. Calling
               out of darkness into marvellous light. 1Pe 2:9.

               The subjects of it are said-- To be alive from
               the dead. Ro 6:13. To be new creatures. 2Co
               5:17. To be born again, or anew. Joh 3:3,7. To
               be God's workmanship. Eph 2:10

            2. Proof that there is such a thing as is commonly
               called regeneration.

               a. The Scriptures declare that such a change is
                  necessary. 2Co 5:17; Ga 6:15

               b. The change is described. Eph 2:5; 4:23; Jas
                  1:18; 1Pe 1:23

               c. It is necessary for the most moral as well as
                  the most profligate. 1Co 15:10; Ga 1:13-16

               d. That this change is not a mere reformation is
                  proved by its being referred to the Holy
                  Spirit. Tit 3:5

               e. In the comparison of man's state in grace with
                  his state by nature. Ro 6:13; 8:6-10; Eph
                  5:8

               f. In the experience of all Christians and the
                  testimony of their lives.

            3. Proofs that believers are subjects of
               supernatural, or spiritual illumination.

               a. This is necessary. Joh 16:3; 1Co 2:14; 2Co
                  3:14; 4:3

               b. The Scriptures expressly affirm it. Ps
                  19:7,8; 43:3,4; Joh 17:3; 1Co 2:12,13; 2Co
                  4:6; Eph 1:18; Php 1:19; Col 3:10; 1Jo 4:7;
                  5:20

                  The first effect of regeneration is to open
                  the eyes of our understanding to the
                  excellency of divine truth.  The second effect
                  is the going forth of the renewed affections
                  toward that excellency perceived.

            4. Proof of the absolute necessity of regeneration.

               a. The Scriptures assert it. Joh 3:3; Ro 8:6,7;
                  Eph 2:10; 4:21-24

               b. It is proved from the nature of man as a
                  sinner. Ro 7:18; 8:7-9; 1Co 2:14; Eph 2:1

               c. Also from the nature of heaven. Isa 35:8;
                  52:1; Mt 5:8; 13:41; Heb 12:14; Re 21:27

               d. The restoration of holiness is the grand end
                  of the whole plan of salvation. Ro 8:28,29;
                  Eph 1:4; 5:5,26,27

         d. Justification

            1. Its fundamental idea is that of perfect
               conformity to all of the requirements of the
               moral law.

            2. The usage of "to justify."

               It means to declare a person to be just.

               a. Because personally conformed to the law as to
                  moral character. Lu 7:29; Ro 3:4

               b. Because, forensically, the demands of the law
                  as a condition of life have been fully
                  satisfied in regard to Him. Ac 13:39; Ro
                  5:1,9; 8:30,33; 1Co 6:11; Ga 2:16; 3:11

            3. (1) The ungodly are said to be justified without
               the deeds of of the law, by the blood of Christ,
               by faith, freely, and of grace, by means of a
               satisfaction and of imputed righteousness. Ro
               3:20-28; 4:5-7; 5:1; Ga 2:16; 3:11; 5:4; 1Jo 2:2

               (2) The contrary of condemnation. Ro 8:33,34

               (3) The same idea conveyed in many equivalent and
                   interchangeable expressions. Joh 3:18; 5:24;
                   Ro 4:6,7; 2Co 5:19

            4. The terms "righteousness" and "righteousness of
               God" in the New Testament signify:--

               a. Holiness of character. Mt 5:6; Ro 6:13;
                  10:3-5; Php 3:9; Tit 3:5

               b. The vicarious obedience and sufferings of
                  Christ our substitute, which become our
                  righteousness, received and appropriated by us
                  through faith. Ro 3:22; 4:6,11; 10:4-10; 1Co
                  1:30

                  The phrase "righteousness of God" means that
                  perfect righteousness or satisfaction to the
                  whole law, precept and penalty alike, which
                  God provides, and which God will accept. Mt
                  6:33; Ro 1:17; 2Co 5:21; Jas 1:20

            5. The term "justification," occurs only in Ro
               4:25; 5:16,18. It signifies that relation to the
               law into which we are brought in consequence of
               the righteousness of Christ being made legally
               ours.  We are absolved from all liability to the
               penalty, and the rewards promised to obedience
               are declared to belong to us.

            6. The requirement of the law in order to the
               justification of a sinner.

               The law consists of a rule of duty and a penalty
               to take effect in case of disobedience.  In the
               case of the sinner, therefore, who has already
               incurred guilt, the law demands that, besides the
               rendering of perfect obedience, the penalty also
               should be suffered. Ro 10:5; Ga 3:10-13

            7. Proof that works cannot be the ground of a
               sinner's justification.

               a. Paul repeatedly asserts this. Ga 2:16; Php
                  3:9

               b. The law demands perfect obedience. No act of
                  obedience at one time can atone for
                  disobedience at another. Ga 2:10,21; 5:3

               c. If we are justified by works, then Christ is
                  dead in vain. Ga 2:21; 5:4

               d. If it were of works it would not be of grace.
                  Ro 11:6; Eph 2:8,9

               e. It would afford cause for boasting. Ro 3:27;
                  4:2

               f. Paul also quotes the Old Testament to prove
                  that all men are sinners (Ro 3:9,10), and
                  that consequently they cannot be justified by
                  works. Ps 143:2; Ro 3:20. He quotes Hab
                  2:4 to prove that the just shall live by
                  faith, and cites the example of Abraham. Ga
                  3:6

            8. The ground of justification is the righteousness
               of Christ. Ro 10:4; 1Co 1:30

               Faith is the essential prerequisite and
               instrument of receiving that righteousness. Eph
               2:8

               Justification is a declaration on the part of God
               that the law is satisfied because of the
               righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to
               believers, and the merits of which are received
               by them through faith.

            9. The sense in which Christ's righteousness is
               imputed.

               Imputation is an act of God as sovereign judge,
               whereby (1) He makes the guilt and legal
               responsibilities of our sins really Christ's
               (Isa 53:5,11; Joh 1:29; 2Co 5:21; Ga 3:13); and
               whereby (2) He makes the righteousness of Christ
               ours (that is, the legal right to reward, by the
               gracious covenant conditioned on righteousness),
               and then treats us as persons legally invested
               with those rights. Ro 4:6; 10:4; 1Co 1:30; 2Co
               5:21; Php 3:9

               Imputation is the charging or crediting to one's
               account as the ground of judicial treatment.

               As Christ is not made a sinner by the imputation
               to Him of our sins, so we are not made holy by
               the imputation to us of His righteousness.  The
               transfer is only of guilt from us to Him, and of
               merit from Him to us. Ro 5:12-21; 4:6; 3:21;
               5:19

           10. The nature of the peace which flows from
               justification.

               a. Peace with God, His justice being completely
                  satisfied through the righteousness of Christ.
                  Ro 5:1; 2Co 5:19; Col 1:21; Eph 2:14. In
                  witness of this His Holy Spirit is given to
                  us. Ro 8:15,16; Heb 10:15,17. His love is
                  shed abroad in our hearts (Ro 5:5), and our
                  fellowship with His is established.

               b. Inward peace of conscience, through the
                  apprehension of the righteousness by which we
                  are justified. Heb 9:15; 10:2,22

         e. Adoption.

            1. Classes of persons to whom the term "sons" or
               "children of God" is applied in the Scriptures.

               a. In the singular, the term is applied in a
                  supreme sense to the Second Person of the
                  Trinity alone.

               b. In the plural, to angels, because they are
                  God's favoured creatures. Job 1:6; 38:7

               c. To human magistrates, because the possess
                  authority delegated from God. Ps 82:6

               d. To good men as the subjects of a divine
                  adoption.

                  The sonship which this adoption confers is
                  twofold:--

                  1. General and external. Ex 4:11; 9:4

                  2. Special, spiritual, and immortal. Ga 4:5;
                     Eph 1:4-6

            2. That which is represented in Scripture as
               involved in being a child of God by adoption.

               a. Derivation of nature from God. Joh 1:13; Jas
                  1:18; 1Jo 5:18

               b. Being born again in the image of God, bearing
                  His likeness. Ro 8:29; 2Co 3:18; Col 3:10;
                  2Pe 1:4

               c. Bearing His name. 1Jo 3:1; Re 2:17; 3:12

               d. Being the object of His peculiar love. Joh
                  17:23; Ro 5:5-8; Tit 3:4; 1Jo 4:7-11

               e. The indwelling Spirit of His Son (Ga 4:5,6),
                  forms in us a spirit becoming the children of
                  God: Obedient (1Pe 1:14; 2Jo 1:6); free from
                  sense of guilt, legal bondage, and fear of
                  death (Ro 8:15; Ga 5:1; Heb 2:15); and
                  elevated with a holy boldness and royal
                  dignity. Heb 10:19,22; 1Pe 2:9; 4:14

               f. Present protection, consolations, and abundant
                  provisions. Ps 125:2; Isa 66:13; Lu 12:27-32;
                  Joh 14:18; 1Co 3:21-23; 2Co 1:4

               g. Present fatherly chastisements for our good.
                  Ps 51:11,12; Heb 12:5-11

               h. The certain inheritance of the riches of our
                  Father's glory as heirs with God and
                  joint-heirs with Christ (Ro 8:17; Jas 2:5;
                  1Pe 1:4; 3:7); including the exaltation of
                  our bodies to the fellowship with Him. Ro
                  8:23; Php 3:21

            3. Adoption proceeds from the Father, upon the
               merits of the Son, by the agency of the Holy
               Spirit. Joh 1:12,13; Ga 4:5,6; Tit 3:5,6; Ro
               8:17,29; Heb 2:17; 4:15. All believers being
               subjects of the same adoption, are brethren. Eph
               3:6; 1Jo 3:14; 5:1

         f. Sanctification.

            1. To make clean physically or morally. (a) Of
               ceremonial purification. Heb 9:13. (b) To
               render clean in a moral sense. 1Co 6:11; Heb
               13:12. (c) To set apart from a common to a
               sacred use, to devote. Mt 23:17; Joh 10:36; Mt
               6:9; 1Pe 3:15

            2. Regeneration is the creative act of the Holy
               Spirit, implanting a new principle of spiritual
               life in the soul.  Sanctification is the
               sustaining and developing work of the Holy
               Spirit, bringing all the faculties of the soul
               more and more perfectly under the purifying and
               regulating principle of spiritual life.

            3. The sense in which the body is sanctified.

               As being the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1Co
               6:19

               As being a member of Christ. 1Co 6:15

               It will be make like Christ's glorified body.
               1Co 15:44; Php 3:21

            4. To who the work of sanctification is referred.

               a. To the Father. 1Th 5:23; Heb 13:21

               b. To the Son. Eph 5:25,26; Tit 2:14

               c. To the Holy Spirit. 1Co 6:11; 2Th 2:13

            5. The agency of the truth in the work of
               sanctification. Ps 119:9-11; Joh 17:19; Jas
               1:18; 1Pe 1:22; 2:2; 2Pe 1:4


Concerning Redemption, The Union Between Believers

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   F. The Union Between Beleivers; The Church and its
      Institutions.

      (Condensed from the Schaff-Herzogg Encyclopedia)

      1. The Church.

         a. The word ecclesia in the New Testament means
            either the universal church of Christ, or a local
            congregation.

         b. The early Christian church began on the day of
            Pentecost; and it was at first composed of the
            disciples whom Jesus had personally gathered. It was
            a community inside of Judaism, with peculiar worship
            and government.  It was the ecclesia; and by this
            name Paul calls it in his earliest epistles, whether
            in Palestine or outside. 1Th 2:14. Its complete
            name was the "Church of God," or the "Church of
            Christ" (Ro 16:16), whether of a single
            congregation, or of the whole body of believers.  It
            was made up of the "sanctified in Christ Jesus"
            (1Co 1:2), the "called saints" (Ro 1:7), the
            "holy nation" (1Pe 2:9). In the deep conception of
            Paul every believer was united with Christ, and
            entered this close union through baptism. 1Co
            12:13; Ga 3:27. The church was Christ's body, of
            which He was the Head. Col 1:14; 2:19.

         c. For church government, see in the encyclopedias the
            articles on the different denominations.

      2. The Sacraments.

         These are baptism and the Lord's Supper.

         For a discussion of the sacraments, consult the leading
         theological works in your denomination.


Concerning Redemption, Eschatology, Death

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   G. Eschatology.

      1. Death, and the State of the Soul after Death.

         a. The different forms of expression by which death is
            described in the Scriptures.

            Departure out of this world. 2Ti 4:6

            Going the way of all the earth. Jos 23:14

            Gathered to one's fathers. Jud 2:10

            Gathered to one's people. De 32:50

            Dissolving the earthly house of this tabernacle.
            2Co 5:1

            Returning to the dust. Ec 12:7

            Sleep. Joh 11:11

            Giving up the ghost. Ac 5:10

            Absent from the body and present with the Lord. 2Co
            5:8

            Sleeping in Jesus. 1Th 4:14; Ec 12:7

         b. The relation of death to sin.

            The entire penalty of the law, including all the
            spiritual, physical, and eternal penal consequences
            of sin, is called death in the Scripture. Ge 2:17;
            Ro 5:12. This included natural death. Ro 5:13,14.
            When Christ bore the penalty of the law, it was
            necessary for Him to die. Heb 9:22

         c. Why do the justified die?

            It is made necessary from the present constitution
            of the body, while it is to both body and soul the
            gateway of heaven. The sting and fear of death are
            taken away. 1Co 15:55-57; Heb 2:15. They die "in
            the Lord" (Re 14:13), and shall at last be
            completely delivered from its power. 1Co 15:26

         d. Immateriality of the soul. Its continual existence
            after death.

            The entire range of human experience fails to make
            us acquainted with a single instance of the
            annihilation of matter.  Material bodies,
            organised or chemically compounded, constantly come
            into existence and in turn pass away, yet never
            through annihilation but simply from the dissolution
            of that relation which these parts had temporarily
            sustained to each other.  Spirit, however, is
            essentially simple and single, and therefore
            incapable of that dissolution of parts to which
            material bodies are subject.  We infer, therefore,
            that spirits are immortal, since they cannot be
            subject to that only form of death of which we have
            any knowledge.

         e. Argument derived from its imperfect development in
            this world.

            In every department of organized life every
            individual creature, in its normal state, tends to
            grow toward condition of complete development, which
            is the perfection of its kind.  Every human being,
            however, is conscious that in this life he never
            attains that completeness which the Creator
            contemplated in the ideal of His type.  He has
            faculties undeveloped, capacities unfulfilled,
            natural desires unsatisfied. He knows that he was
            designed to be much more than he is and to fill a
            much higher sphere.

         f. Argument derived from the distributive justice of
            God.

            It is a judgment of reason, and a fundamental Bible
            doctrine that moral good is associated with
            happiness, and moral evil with misery, by the
            unchangeable nature and purpose of God.  But history
            establishes the fact that this life is not a state
            of retribution, here wickedness is often associated
            with prosperity, moral excellence with sorrow.  We
            hence conclude that there is a future state where
            everything inconsistent with the justice of God
            shall be adjusted. See Ps 73.

         g. Conscience points to a future state.

            Conscience is the voice of God in the soul,
            witnessing to our sinfulness, God's essential
            justice.  The characteristic testimony of the human
            conscience has always been in accordance with the
            word of God, that, "after death comes the judgment."

         h. Confirmed by the general consent of mankind.

            This has been the universal faith of all men, of all
            nations, and in all ages.  Universal consent, like
            every universal effect, must be referred to an
            equally universal cause, and this consent, uniform
            among men differing in every other possible respect,
            can be referred to no common origin other than the
            constitution of man's common nature, which is the
            testimony of his Maker.

         i. The Old Testament teaches the same distinction
            between body and soul that is taught in the New
            Testament. Ge 1:26,27; 2:7; Ec 12:7

         j. Our Saviour's argument. Lu 20:37,38

         k. Old Testament passages implying a state of
            blessedness after death. Nu 23:10; Job 19:26,27; Ps
            16:9-11; 17:15; 49:14,15; 73:24-26; Isa 25:8; 26:19;
            Da 12:2,3,13; Ho 13:14

         l. Teaching of the New Testament. Lu 23:43; 2Co 5:6-8;
            Php 1:23,24; Lu 16:23,24; Jude 1:5-7


Concerning Redemption, Eschatology, The Resurrection

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   G. Eschatology.

      2. The Resurrection.

         a. The Greek word is anastasis, which signifies "a
            raising up." It is used Scripture to designate the
            future general raising, by the power of God, of the
            bodies of all men from the sleep of death.

         b. Old Testament passages. Job 19:25-27; Ps 49:15; Isa
            26:19; Da 12:1-3

         c. New Testament passages. Mt 27:52,53; Joh 5:28,29;
            6:39; Ac 2:25-34; 13:34; Ro 8:11,22,23; 1Co 15:1-58;
            Php 3:20,21; 1Th 4:13-17

         d. The body to rise again. Php 3:21; 1Co 15:53,54; Joh
            5:28; 1Th 4:13-17; 1Co 6:15; Joh 20:27

         e. The nature of the resurrection body.

            1. It is to be spiritual. 1Co 15:44

            2. Like Christ's body. Php 3:21

            3. Glorious, powerful, and incorruptible. 1Co
               15:54

            4. It shall never die. Re 21:4

            5. Never to be given in marriage. Mt 22:30

         f. The resurrection of Christ secures and illustrates
            that of His people.

            1. Because His resurrection seals and consummates
               His redemptive power, and the redemption of our
               bodies. Ro 3:23

            2. Because of our federal and vital union with
               Christ. 1Co 15:21,22; 1Th 4:14

            3. Because of His Spirit who dwells in us (Ro
               8:11), making our bodies His members. 1Co 6:15

            4. Because Christ by covenant is Lord both of the
               living and the dead. Ro 14:9

         This same vital union causes the resurrection of the
         believer to be similar to, as well as consequent upon,
         that of Christ. 1Co 15:49; Php 3:21; 1Jo 3:2


Concerning Redemption, Eschatology, The Second Advent

IV. Concerning Redmption.

   G. Eschatalogy.

      3. The Second Advent and the General Judgment.

         a. The meaning of the expression, "the coming" or "the
            day of the Lord," as used in both the Old and New
            Testaments.

             1. For any special manifestation of God's presence.
                Isa 13:6; Jer 46:10; Joh 14:18,23

             2. By way of eminence.

                a. In the Old Testament, for the coming of
                   Christ in the flesh, and the abrogation of
                   the Jewish economy.  Mal 3:2; 4:5

                b. In the New Testament, for the second and
                   final coming of Christ.

         b. The several terms referring to this last great event
            are:--

            1. His "revelation." 1Co 1:7; 2Th 1:7; 1Pe 1:7,13;
               4:13

            2. "Presence," "coming." Mt 24:3,27,37,39; 1Co
               15:23; 1Th 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; 2Th 2:1-9; Jas
               5:7,8; 2Pe 1:16; 3:4,12; 1Jo 2:28

            3. "Appearing," "manifestation."
                2Th 2:8; 1Ti 6:14; 2Ti 4:1,8; Tit 2:13

            4. "The day of the Lord," or a similar expression.
               Joh 6:39-54; Ro 2:5; 1Co 1:8; Php 1:6,10; 1Th
               5:2; 2Th 1:10; 2Ti 1:12,18; 2Pe 2:9; 3:10,12;
               Jude 1:6; Re 6:17

               Christ is called "the coming One" with reference
               to both advents. Mt 21:9; Lu 7:19,20; 19:38; Joh
               3:31; Re 1:4; 4:8

         c. Evidence that a literal, personal advent of Christ
            still future is taught in the Bible.

            1. The analogy of the first advent.

            2. The coming itself, its manner and purpose, are
               alike defined. Mt 16:27; 24:30; 25:31; 26:64; Mr
               8:38; Lu 21:27

            3. The apostles understood these predictions to
               relate to a literal advent of Christ in person.
               Ac 1:11; 3:19-21; 1Co 4:5; 11:26; 15:23; Heb
               9:28; 10:37

         d. The exact time declared to be unknown. Mt 24:36; Mr
            13:32; Lu 12:40; Ac 1:6,7; 1Th 5:1-3; 2Pe 3:3,4,10;
            Re 16:15

         e. The Judge of the world.

            This will be Jesus Christ, in His official character
            as mediator, in both natures, as the God-man.  This
            is evident,--

            1. Because as judge He is called the "Son of man"
               (Mt 25:31,32), and "the man ordained by God."
               Ac 17:31

            2. Because it pertains to Him as mediator to
               complete and publicly manifest the salvation of
               His people and the overthrow of His enemies,
               together with the glorious righteousness of His
               work in both respects. 2Th 1:7-10; Re 1:7

         f. The subjects of the judgment.

            1. The whole race of man.  The dead will be raised,
               and the living changed simultaneously. Mt
               25:31-46; 1Co 15:51,52; 2Co 5:10; 1Th 4:17; 2Th
               1:6-10; Re 20:11-15

            2. All evil angels. 2Pe 2:4; Jude 1:6. Good angels
               appearing as attendants and ministers. Mt
               13:41,42

         e. The moral effect of the Scripture teaching as to
            Christ's second advent.

            Christians ought thereby to be comforted when in
            sorrow, and always stimulated to duty. Php 3:20;
            Col 3:4,5; Jas 5:7; 1Jo 3:2,3

            Their duty also to love, watch, wait for, and hasten
            to, the coming of their Lord. Lu 12:35-37; 1Co
            1:7,8; Php 3:20; 1Th 1:9,10; 2Ti 4:8; 2Pe 3:12; Re
            22:20

            Unbelievers should be filled with fearful
            apprehension, and should come to immediate
            repentance. Mr 13:35,37; 2Pe 3:9,10; Jude 1:14,15


Concerning Redemption, Eschatology, Heaven and Hell

IV. Concerning Redemption.

   G. Eschatology.

      4. Heaven and Hell.

        a. New Testament usage of the words. "Heaven" used
           chiefly in three senses:--

           1. The upper air where the birds fly. Mt 8:20;
              24:30

           2. The region in which the stars reside. Ac 7:42;
              Heb 11:12

           3. The abode of Christ's human nature, the scene of
              the special manifestation of divine glory, and of
              the eternal blessedness of the saints. Heb 9:24;
              1Pe 3:22. Sometimes called the "third heaven."
              2Co 12:2 The phrases "new heaven" and "new
              earth," in contrast with "first heaven" and "first
              earth," refer to some unexplained change by which
              God will revolutionise our portion of the physical
              universe, cleansing it from the stain of sin and
              qualifying it to be the abode of blessedness.

        b. Terms used to designate the future blessedness of the
           saints.

           1. Literal terms:--

              Life, eternal life. Mt 7:14; 19:16,29; 25:46

              Glory, the glory of God, an eternal weight of
              glory. Ro 2:7,10; 5:2; 2Co 4:17

              Peace. Ro 2:10

              Salvation, and eternal salvation. Heb 5:7

           2. Figurative terms:--

              Paradise. Lu 23:43; 2Co 12:4; Re 2:7

              Heavenly Jerusalem. Ga 4:26; Re 3:12

              Kingdom of heaven, heavenly kingdom, eternal
              kingdom, kingdom prepared from the foundation of
              the world. Mt 25:34; 2Ti 4:18; 2Pe 1:11

              Eternal inheritance. 1Pe 1:4; Heb 9:15

              The blessed are said to sit down with Abraham,
              Isaac, and Jacob; to be in Abraham's bosom (Lu
              16:22; Mt 8:11); to reign with Christ (2Ti
              2:11,12); to enjoy a Sabbath of rest. Heb
              4:10,11

        c. Heaven as a place

           The Scriptures represent heaven as a definite place
           as well as a state of blessedness. Joh 17:24; 2Co
           5:6-10; Re 5:6

        d. Wherein does the blessedness of heaven consist as far
           as revealed?

           1. In perfect deliverance from sin and all its evil
              consequences, physical, moral, and social. Re
              7:16,17; 21:4,27

           2. In the perfection of our nature. 1Co 13:9-12;
              15:45-49; 1Jo 3:2

           3. In the sight of our Redeemer, communion with His
              person, and fellowship in all His glory and
              blessedness, and through Him with saints and
              angels. Joh 17:24; 1Jo 1:3; Re 3:21; 21:3-5

           4. In that "beatific vision of God" which, consisting
              in the ever increasingly clear discovery of the
              divine excellence lovingly apprehended, transforms
              the soul into the same image, from glory to glory.
              Mt 5:8; 2Co 3:18

        e. The principal terms, literal and figurative, which
           are applied in Scripture to the future condition of
           the reprobate.

           As a place it is literally designated by Gehenna
           (Mt 5:22,29,30), and by the phrase "place of
           torment." Lu 16:28. As a condition of suffering,
           it is literally designated by the phrases "wrath of
           God" (Ro 2:5) and "second death." Re 21:8

           Figurative terms:--

           "Everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
           angels," Mt 25:41

           "Hell, where their worm dies not and the fire is not
           quenched." Mr 9:48

           "The lake which burns with fire and brimstone." Re
           21:8

           "The pit of the abyss." Re 9:2

           The dreadful nature of this abode of the wicked is
           implied in such expressions as "outer darkness," the
           place where there is "weeping and gnashing of teeth"
           (Mt 8:12; 22:13); "I am in anguish in this flame"
           (Lu 16:24); "unquenchable fire" (Lu 3:17);
           "Furnace of fire" (Mt 13:42); "blackness of
           darkness" (Jude 1:13); torment "with fire and
           brimstone" (Re 14:10); "the smoke of their torment
           goes up for ever and ever." Re 14:11

        f. The teaching of the Scriptures as to the nature of
           future punishments.

           1. These sufferings will consist--

              a. In the loss of all good.

              b. In all the natural consequences of unrestrained
                 sin, judicial abandonment, utter alienation
                 from God, and the society of the lost. 2Th
                 1:9

              c. In the positive infliction of torment, God's
                 wrath abiding upon those who do not believe.
                 Joh 3:36

           2. The Scriptures also establish the facts that these
              sufferings must be--

              a. Dreadful in degree.

              b. Endless in duration.

              c. Proportioned to the deserts of the subject. Mt
                 10:15; Lu 12:47,48

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life." John 3:16
