The Covenant of Grace—God’s Remedy for Man’s Ruin (Chapter 7, Paragraph 3)
Paragraph 3 unfolds the Covenant of Grace—God’s eternal and merciful plan to save sinners through Jesus Christ. Unlike the Covenant of Works, which required perfect obedience, the Covenant of Grace offers life and salvation through faith in a Mediator. This covenant is progressively revealed throughout redemptive history, from the first promise in Eden to its fulfillment in the New Covenant. Though administered differently in past ages, the substance remains the same: salvati

Why the Bible Is Enough – Clarity and Sufficiency
God has given us everything we need for life and godliness in His Word. The Bible is not only inspired—it is also clear and sufficient.

The Covenant of Works—Life upon Obedience (Chapter 7, Paragraph 2)
Paragraph 2 explains that God made a covenant with Adam before the fall, offering life on the condition of perfect obedience. Though the term “Covenant of Works” is not used here, the theology is unmistakable. Adam was given a law, written on his heart and expressed by command, with the promise of life for obedience and death for disobedience. This covenant is foundational—it sets the stage for the gospel. In Adam, all fell. But in Christ, the Second Adam, we are raised.

The Distance Between God and Man (Chapter 7, Paragraph 1)
Chapter 7 begins by addressing a profound reality: though God created man with reason and law, the infinite gap between Creator and creature makes a relationship of blessedness and life impossible apart from a covenant. God is not obligated to reward obedience or offer eternal life. If man is to enjoy communion with God, it must be on terms that God Himself initiates.

Two Responses to Sin—The Unregenerate and the Regenerate (Chapter 6, Paragraph 6)
Paragraph 6 contrasts how corruption affects the unregenerate and the regenerate. For the unregenerate, sin rules completely—they are spiritually dead and unable to please God. Their wills are enslaved to evil, and they can do nothing to turn themselves to Christ. In contrast, regenerate persons are given a new heart and set free from sin’s dominion. Though the war with sin remains, the power of grace prevails.

The Struggle Within—Indwelling Sin in the Believer (Chapter 6, Paragraph 5)
Paragraph 5 acknowledges that although regeneration transforms the believer, the corruption of nature is not entirely removed. The war between flesh and Spirit continues in this life. Believers are renewed and empowered to walk in obedience, yet remnants of sin still dwell within them. This internal conflict can cause real falls, yet never results in total or final ruin. For the Christian, this truth is sobering but hopeful.

From Corruption to Action—Original Sin Bears Fruit (Chapter 6, Paragraph 4)
Paragraph 4 teaches that from our inherited corruption flows actual sin. We are not only guilty in Adam but also act according to that fallen nature. Sin is not just a condition—it produces evil thoughts, words, and deeds. We transgress God’s law because our hearts are inclined away from Him. This explains why every person sins—not by random choice, but by nature. For believers, this doctrine brings clarity and humility. It reminds us that we need a new heart, not just better

Verbal Plenary Inspiration – God’s Perfect Process
The doctrine of verbal, plenary inspiration teaches that every word of Scripture, in every part, is fully and equally inspired by God. It affirms both divine authorship and human agency, preserving truth without error. In this post, we explore why this doctrine is essential for biblical authority, and how it safeguards our confidence in God’s unchanging Word.

In Adam All Die—The Spread of Sin (Chapter 6, Paragraph 2)
Paragraph 2 teaches that Adam’s sin did not affect him alone—it spread to all his descendants. By God’s appointment, Adam stood as the representative head of the human race. When he sinned, we sinned in him, and his guilt was imputed to us. Thus, every person is born spiritually dead, corrupted in nature, and inclined to evil. This doctrine, called original sin, explains humanity’s universal need for salvation.
