Digital Logos Edition
Understanding the doctrines of grace will give you a clearer picture of God’s sovereignty. From the lawgiver Moses to the apostle John, and from the early church fathers to modern defenders of the faith, there has marched onto the stage of human history a long line of godly men, a triumphant parade of spiritual stalwarts who have upheld the doctrines of grace. In Foundations of Grace, the first in the three-volume A Long Line of Godly Men series, Dr. Steven J. Lawson takes you on a heart-stirring survey of the Scriptures to show that the Bible in its entirety teaches the doctrines of grace.
With the Logos edition, Foundations of Grace is fully integrated with the other resources in your digital library, including Bibles, maps, dictionaries, and numerous other Bible study tools. All Scripture references are linked directly to the text of your favorite Bible translation, making your Bible study and teaching preparations more effective and rewarding. You can also explore Scripture on a deeper level with powerful search features, Passage Guides, and all the other interactive features in your Logos library. That makes this important book more useful than ever before for pastors, teachers, Bible study leaders, and anyone else desiring to get deeper into the truth of God’s Word.
“While God sovereignly regulates all that occurs in history, including the choices and actions of human beings, all humans use their volition to choose what they fully intend to carry out. They intend. They choose. They act. Yet, in and through all this, God’s will is performed, not frustrated. As Joseph states so clearly in Genesis 50:20 regarding the responsible actions of his brothers, ‘You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.’ God is sovereign in and through the free actions we perform and for which we bear responsibility. The Bible everywhere affirms this, and so we believe.’8 God is sovereign over all!” (Page 53)
“The first main heading of the doctrines of grace is total depravity, or radical depravity.” (Page 34)
“The third heading is limited atonement, or definite atonement” (Page 34)
“He had watched Eve take the fruit, and nothing happened to her. He sinned willfully, assuming there would be no consequences. Everything was upside down. Eve followed the snake, Adam followed Eve, and no one followed God.’10 It was clear man would not submit to the sovereignty of God.” (Page 54)
“it misunderstands the way in which Peter uses the term foreknowledge” (Pages 10–11)
As Dr. Steve Lawson’s reconnaissance of this matter so clearly shows, God’s sovereignty is manifest throughout sacred Scripture. . . . When you finish reading this book, I would wonder and worry if you continue to persist in denying the full measure of God’s sovereignty in our salvation.
