God has recently given us the opportunity to discuss some theological
issues with other Christians who believe differently than we do on a
number of points, most notably the doctrines of grace. In such a
circumstance, given the overwhelming supply of scriptural evidence that
comes to bear on the topic, it seemed to me that the best approach would
be a simple categorized scripture list: the fact that the entire paper
would be scriptures, with the exception of a few brief explanatory
notes, would underscore the truth that this is God's own word and
teaching; and the fact that it would be categorized would facilitate the
ready comparison of scripture with scripture so as to lead one to a
full-orbed understanding of the biblical teaching. Although I found a
few good scripture lists of that nature available online, none of them
was laid out in quite the progression that I was looking for, and so I
developed my own. I'm posting it here with just the scripture
references. Below, for your convenience I have provided a condensed
version and a full version of the study. The study is also available in print from Monergism Books. Continue at Monergism
Scriptures teach consistently that faith comes through the proclamation of the gospel, not through good works. Christ himself was not arrested and arraigned because he was trying to restore family values or feed the poor...The mounting ire of the religious leaders toward Jesus coalesced around him making himself equal with God and forgiving sins in his own person, directly, over against the temple and its sacrificial system. Michael Horton
