Yes! I also love that Edwards quote! There truly is nothing we contributed to our salvation, for it is not our faith that saves us, but the object of our faith Christ Jesus. Faith will actually be the topic of my next post. =) I hope you will continue to read and thank you for presenting your disagreement in such a friendly way!
“If sovereignty means that God has the right to rule as he wishes, then wouldn’t the right question be, how does God wish to rule?” Thank you for creating and sharing words that cause us to consider God. Considering God beyond our dogma is brave and uncomfortable and most always beneficial when we seek through the lens of scripture.
It surely is the most hated of doctrines.. as my pastor will tell me. And for me the most amazing. That HE is Sovereign in Salvation. :)
I like what Edwards said: the only thing we contribute to our salvation is the sin that made it necessary.
I became a Calvinist, because the bible gave me no choice. :)
