Whether you’re wrestling with Scripture or wondering how to be a better parent or grandparent…or just plain better, pull up a chair – let’s study God’s Word together, have some deep discussions and apply it to real life, one truth at a time.
Are you tired of wondering if you are “good enough” to be saved? Discover why assurance is not a form of arrogance, but the logical conclusion of trusting God’s unchanging promise of eternal life.
For the believer in Jesus Christ, the Judgment Seat is not a courtroom of terror where eternal destiny hangs in the balance, but a platform of honor where a loving Savior evaluates our faithfulness to dispense eternal rewards. Remove the fear of hell, and the true motivation for discipleship emerges: the eager anticipation of hearing the King say, “Well done.”
In soteriological discussions, logical precision is as critical as grammatical exactness. A frequent logical misstep committed by proponents of Lordship Salvation is the formal fallacy of affirming the consequent. By asserting that “If a person is saved, they will perform good works,” and observing good works, interpreters fallaciously infer that those works prove regeneration. Conversely, observing an absence of works is wrongly assumed to prove an absence of faith. This blog post examines how conditional logic functions in New Testament Greek and demonstrates why biblical assurance rests solely upon the explicit promise of Jesus Christ to the believer, rather than on logical fallacies applied to post-conversion behavior.
