God is the God of order. We see this order clearly displayed when examining the beauty and glory of his creation on this earth and throughout the universe. We see God’s order when investigating and discovering scientific laws, and when we study the wonderful perfection in mathematics. God’s Word also tells us how God shows his perfect order in the Application of Redemption. In Romans chapter 8, we find the “Golden Chain” telling us that those God foreknew, he also predestinated; those he predestinated, he called; those he called, he justified; those he justified, he glorified. Jesus Christ accomplished the redemption of his chosen people when he died as a perfect sacrifice on Calvary’s cross. In this lecture series, Pastor William Macleod will examine the beautiful order in which God applies the purchased redemption of his people.
Adam was created in the image of God, in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, in a loving relationship with God, and had a right standing with God, was pleasing to God. However, Adam chose to disobey God and he lost the core elements of God’s image. He was now alienated from God, and his will was in bondage to evil. Sadly, since we all come from Adam, sin is now easy and natural for us. In this lecture, we come to grasp more about the depravity of sin and how it has affected mankind. But there is hope for us in the great salvation God provides in Jesus Christ.
