! SCRIPTURE AND REVELATION
#.
In “general revelation” all men can know of God's existence, power and deity.
(Psalms 19:1; Romans 1:20)
#.
General revelation is enough to make a man conscious of his sin, but not enough to lead him to salvation.
(Romans 1:20-25; John 14:6; Acts 4:12)
#.
Special revelation is thus necessary.
God must reveal Himself.
(1 Corinthians 2:6-10; Galatians 1:11,12; II Peter 1:20-21)
#.
God’s clearest revelation of Himself is in His Word.
Though Jeremiah is the fullest revelation, and though He reveals Himself through miracles and history, His Word is needed to interpret and objectify His revelation.
(Exodus 13:15-18; Matthew 12:17)
#.
God’s Word and revelation are propositional.
(Colossians 1:26; Exodus 20:1; Ephesians 3:4,5; Deuteronomy 18:18; Matthew 4:4; Romans 3:1,2)
#.
Scripture is recorded propositional truth without error.
(Exodus 17:14; Exodus 20:1; Exodus 34:27; Jeremiah 25:13; Jeremiah 30:1,2; Romans 3:1,2; I Thessalonians 2:13; II Timothy 3:16,17; II Peter 1:20,21; Psalms 12:6; Luke 24:25; John 10:35; Acts 24:14)
#.
Scripture is the highest authority since it is God’s written Word.
(Matthew 4:1-11; Psalm 119:9; II Timothy 3:16,17)
#.
Scripture is composed of all sixty-six books commonly recognized by the reformers.
#.
These books were Scripture from the moment they were written and came to be recognized as such among the church by the direction of the Holy Spirit.
!
God
#.
God is independent of His creation.
His existence needs no support outside of Himself.
(Isaiah 44:24; John 5:26; Acts 17:25; Romans 11:34,35)
#.
God is pure Spirit.
He has no physical parts.
(John 4:24; I Timothy 6:15,16; Exodus 20:4)
#.
God is unchanging in His nature, character and purposes.
Changes in the attitude of God toward His people are due to changes in His people.
(Numbers 23:9; Psalms 33:11; Psalms 102:27; Hebrews 6:17; Hebrews 13:8; James 1:17)
#.
God is eternal.
(Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalms 90:2; Psalms 102:27)
#.
God is omnipresent.
He is not limited by space.
(Psalms 139:7-10; Jeremiah 23:23,24)
#.
God is omniscient.
(Isaiah 46:10; Hebrews 14:13)
#.
God is omnipotent.
(Genesis 18:14: Isaiah 14:27; Isaiah 43:13; Jeremiah 32:17; Daniel 4:35; Mark 10:27)
#.
God is holy; totally separate from any sin or imperfection.
(Leviticus 11:44; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8)
#.
God is loving.
(Psalms 63:3; Jeremiah 31:3; John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4,5; 1 John 4:8-10)
#.
God is wise.
He applies knowledge perfectly.
(Psalms 147:5; Jeremiah 10:7; Romans 11:33; Colossians 2:3)
#.
God is gracious and merciful.
He gives what is not deserved and withholds punishment that is due.
(Nehemiah 9:17; Romans 9:16; Ephesians 1:6; Ephesians 2:4,5; Titus 3:5)
#.
God is good.
(Lamentations 3:25; Acts 14:17)
#.
God is patient.
He is slow to anger and holds His judgment for a long time.
Numbers 14:18; Romans 2:4; Romans 9:22; II Peter 3:9)
#.
God is righteous; morally correct in all His ways.
(Deuteronomy 32:4; Psalms 36:6; Psalms 89:14; II Peter 1:1)
#.

(Psalms 36:6; Psalms 72:2; Psalms 98:9; Acts 17:31; Romans 3:24,25)

We can count on His word.
(Numbers 23:19; Psalms 33:4; John 17:17; Titus 1:1,2)

(Deuteronomy 7:9; Deuteronomy 32:4; Lamentations 3:22,23; I Corinthians 10:13; I Thessalonians 5:23,24; Hebrews 10:23; 1 John 1:9) .
#. God is Trinity.
Three persons in one essence with all three persons equal.
(John 1:1-2; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; I Peter 1:1,2; John 10:30-33; Acts 5:3,4; Philippians 1:19)

God's Work
#.
Scripture clearly states that before the creation of the world God chose or elected certain people to be saved.
Many are divided as to whether this decision is based on God's foreknowledge (electing those He knew would receive Him), or purely out of God's sovereign will.
Scripture seems at places to affirm both of these seemingly contradictory views.
I believe that both are true; in some mysterious way we freely choose God and yet God has sovereignly chosen us before time.
(Joshua 24:14-15; Ezekiel 33:11; John 3:16; Acts 7:51; Romans 8:29; I Timothy 2:3,4; John 6:37; John 15:16; Acts 13:48; Romans 9:10-16; Ephesians 1:4-6; Ephesians 4:11)
#.
All things are created by God.
Neither man nor nature creates anything independently, but at times God uses them as agents.
(Genesis 1:1; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 33:6; Isaiah 44:24; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 11:3; Revelation 4:11)
#.
All that is created by God is also sustained, governed and preserved by His providence.
All of life is directed by His redemptive purposes.
This includes nature, history, and man.
(Job 5:10; Psalm 65:9-10; Psalm 147:8-9; Haggai 2:17; Acts 14:17; Psalm 22:28; Daniel 2:21; Acts 17:24-28; Proverbs 16:9; Proverbs 19:21; Genesis 45:8; Genesis 50:20; Job 14:5; Matthew 10:29-31; Acts 4:27-28; Romans 8:28)
!
Man
#.
Man was created in God’s image.
This includes the moral attributes of God (in finite measure), a spiritual nature, a will, and dominion over the rest of nature.
(Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:8; Psalm 8:3-6; Ecclesiastes 7:29; James 3:9-10; Genesis 2:7; Matthew 10:28)
#.
Thus man has not evolved by random chance or by natural selection, but was created.
(Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 9:6; see also “God’s Work: creation and providence” above.)
#.
Men and women were created equal, but with differing roles.
They are co-regent over creation, but God chose to place man in a position of authority over woman in the home and in the pastorate.
[This does not exclude women from teaching or leading in other positions.]
(Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:26-29; I Corinthians 11:9-12; Ephesians 5:22-33; Colossians 3:18-19; I Timothy 2:11-13; [Acts 18:26; Romans 16:3])
#.
Man is made in two parts; body and spirit.
[Language suggesting otherwise is due to the use of soul to refer to entirety of man, in place of spirit at other times, and used poetically with spirit and body at others.]
Genesis 2:7; Matthew 10:28; II Corinthians 7:1; [Luke 1:46-47; I Thessalonians 5:23])
!
Man in the State of Sin
#.
All men are tainted by sin from birth due to Adam’s decision.
(Genesis 2:16-17; Job 14:4; Psalm 51:5; Psalm 58:3; Romans 5:12, 18-19)
#.
All men ratify Adam’s decision to sin by doing so themselves.
(1 Kings 8:46; Proverbs 20:9; 1 John 1:8; Romans 3:23)
#.
Sin produces spiritual and physical death, alienates man from God, and produces all manner of evil results.
(Genesis 2:16-17; Romans 6:23; Romans 7:14-15; Romans 8:7-8; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 4:17-19; Revelation 21:8)
