Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which...

    Let me get that clear, we are witnesses of Christ’s redeeming work for his people ? How on earth can the gospel be preached to an unbeliever ? It cannot, if God only redeemed his people and not everybody else then I cannot go into all the world and preach the gospel, I can onky do so to believers that already know the good news. This is a useless gospel.

      @@johndodson8464 Maybe, maybe not, There are some things about Michael Horton that are worrisome. Agree that for the most part he preaches the gospel correctly, that said he does believe God created the earth billions of years ago which has no biblical support. He also has recently made comments in favour of acknowledging gender dysphoria and critical race theory as real paradigms that Christian’s should entertain. I have benefited a lot from Horton in the past, but there is a lot of pagan thinking that has gotten into his head. He has concluded that geology takes precedence over scripture when it comes to determining the age of the earth, pro abortion and pro-death democrats are as good Christian’s as pro-life republicans, there are many wrong things with Horton that cause me to believe he may be lost. His trust in the government’s response to the pandemic and his silence against the interference of government in our ability to worship freely and love our neighbour are red flags I cannot ignore.

      The Gospel is the good news about God's Covenant of Peace with the human race. While we were still enemies of God, He sent His only begotten son to filfill The Curse of The Law (the wages of Sin is Death). Jesus Christ was our substitute. He sacrificed himself as the spotless & genetically perfect lamb (the ultimate & final atonement for all the sins of Adam's race). By the POWER of His Holy Blood which had THE GOD GENE PARTICLE, He also purchased the souls of all humans, established The Kingdom of God within every human being, AND crushed the dominion of the A/C (Serpent's Head). Jesus defeated Sin, Death & Hell by His total obedience to The Heavenly Father, fulfilled every type, shadow.& prophecy about The Messiah. And also fulfilled The Law (every Mosaic Law). Must we also fulfill every type, shadow, prophecy & law written in the Old Testament Torah?? Clearly NOT. Bc Jesus did what no human could ever do bc He was the son of the Living God AND the son of man (Adam) thru Abraham's bloodline. On the cross, He said, "IT IS FINISHED." Anyone who claims to fulfill those very same OT types, shadows, prophecies & laws of The Messiah shows himself to be a counterfeit Christ. Jesus Christ is the Resurrection & the Life. He is the Way, the Truth & the Life everlasting. He came as the Prince of Peace & ascended as the King of Kings & Lord of Lords. All praises to the Messiah who saves those who will Believe in His Power & Glory & submit to His supreme authority given to Him by His Father YHVH.

      You are correct, the problem with Calvinism is that they have no gospel to tell, because he said the gospel is that God redeemed his people for Christ’s sake. Well, how do I know I am one of his people then ? It is ridiculous, the gospel is that .Christ as my substitute took away my sin at Calvary and God does not count my trespass against me any longer. Or like you put it quoting the apostle Paul “Christ died for my sins”, that is the gospel, not this nonsense that Christ redeemed his people, which he did, but it is not the gospel since it is impossible for any of us to know we are his people or one of the elect unless first we are told that .Christ died for our sins (which is the gospel but Horton does not say it) as you point out.

    Honestly, what is wrong here ? Anybody ? Michael Horton in 3 minutes did not use the word faitt or the word believe, not even once. Something is clearly wrong with his gospel presentation when the word faith and believe are completely absent and not mentioned once. You can make this gospel presentation a thousand times and not a single soul will be saved. What must I do to be saved ? Repent and be baptized for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:37-40). That is the gospel, but what I just heard is a horror, not a single time the word believe or faith or repent or be baptized were used, not once, unbelievable. Acts 16:30 is the same way, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved ? Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, you and your household". So here's the thing that is troubling, we have a man that is professor of theology at Westminster Seminary, that does not know how to present the gospel to people, he does not know evangelism. Bear in mind that first and foremost the gospel is not for God's people, so all this plan of salvation for God's people has little to do with the gospel to begin with, the gospel is good news for rebels, for sinners, it is preached without distinction between elect and reprobate, the gospel is in essence directly tied to what has been sometimes called in Reformed circles the free offer of the gospel. And unless the good news is proclaimed to all men, i.e. to all sinners without distinction between elect (God's people as Horton said in this video) and reprobate, we have no gospel at all. In future my advice to Horton, please leave the God's people outside of your gospel presentation, and instead say with Paul "God came to save sinners of whom I am chief" (1 Timothy 1:15), or with the tax collector "God have mercy on me a sinner" Luke 18:13. The gospel is for sinners, for the rebels, for the transgressors, the gospel is not for God's people, certainly after we believe we know we are God's people but this is not the gospel, but the evidence that we already have faith and have been saved by believing the gospel. It is true as Horton says in this video that we cannot do the gospel or live the gospel, but he should have said that we must believe the gospel, he should have said have spoken about the obedience of faith (Romans 1:5 and Romans 16:26) or the law of faith (Romans 3:23) or just quote John 3:16. But boy, neglecting to mention even once the words faith or believe is inexcusable.

    • @billk8874
      @billk8874 4 роки тому

      @Ric McGuire Don’t get me wrong, Mike Horton is pretty good. But he missed the mark, he could have quoted verses like acts 10:43 “All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” or Acts 16:31 “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved”. And these two verses I quoted one was Peter’s gospel presentation to Cornelius and the other one is Paul to the Philippian jailer resulted in their immediate salvation. Because in both cases the hearer was told that by believing he would be saved, something this video omits completely. Of course you have to speak about Christ’s person and work, but you must also tell people the good news that if they believe they shall be saved, without mentioning faith or telling the listener he has to believe, there is no gospel presentation, and from this perspective Michael Horton who I have great respect for fell short of the mark here.

Thank God what we do is not the Gospel or we would all be damned . And might I add that sanctification is a WORK of Gods free grace whereby he enables the Christian through the operation of the HOLY SPIRIT to die more and more to sin and to live more and more unto righteousness . It's still sola deo Gloria!!! Justification is an ACT of Gods free grace whereby he pardons all of our sins and imputes Christ righteousness to the sinner and declares him to be a Saint for the sake of Christ .

      Thank you for clarifying. I have come across many believers on UA-cam who say they believe in Christ BUT are also convinced they must strictly follow the 10 Commandments including the Sabbath. So they believe but they have not received God's Covenant of Peace thru the Prince of Peace. Jesus is the Christ, the annointed Messiah. The New Covenant of Grace thru Faith in Jesus Christ replaces the Old Covenant of Law thru Works. Jesus gave us all an entirely new set of Commandments & the Holy Spirit to teach us, remind us, convict us & regenerate us. Those under the Law are under the Old Covenant which leads to condemnation & death like the majority of Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. Which means they are rejecting the New Covenant of Grace & Peace by the indwelling/outflowing of the Holy Spirit. Which means they are rejecting what Christ did on the cross bc they think it's not enough. They don't understand & rely on the power of the Holy Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead & birthed Him in the first place thru the Virgin Mary. Sadly, they rely on their own futile efforts (self-righteousness & their own understanding). Therefore, they cannot receive the clearly superior Righteousness of Christ thru IMPUTATION (a work of the Holy Spirit & The Blood of the Lamb). They have rejected Peace, Grace, Christ & the Spirit. But they can't hear you when you try to correct them with the Scriptures. They are lost but believe they are more saved & more Holy than other believers bc they keep the Sabbath. Jesus is the SUBSTANCE & FULFILLMENT of the Sabbath. Saturday worship was a mere type & shadow of the true Messiah who was to come & die for our sins. So we may inherit eternal life & glory everlasting with Him & in Him. All glory & praises to our King who loves us beyond human understanding.
