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.
The saving work of God in the soul of man begins with Effectual Calling. This calling flows from the eternal purpose of God for the salvation of mankind. In this lecture, Rev. Macleod opens this doctrine to us with all its inner parts and their meaning, including its characteristics and how it relates to the doctrine of Redemption. Come along as we discover something of how God performs this miraculous task of bringing the spiritually dead to life.
