The Doctrines of Grace give us Confidence in the Bible’s Sufficiency to Save a LOST SOUL.

I believe it was MaroonCat79 who posted this wonderful link on
Some Practical Implications of Calvinism
by Tom Hicks.

They are quite worthy of note.

He calls the Bible's Doctrines of Grace describing How God Saves Souls,
by the colloquialism or slang term, 'Calvinism', as we understand.

"Calvinism’s doctrine of God’s sovereign rule over all things
is far from an abstract teaching with little if any effect on the lives of ordinary believers.

"Rather, Calvinism has many practical implications.

"While they may not automatically follow from simply holding to Calvinistic doctrine, they do follow naturally when Calvinism is truly believed and embraced from the heart.

"This list is not intended to suggest that non-Calvinists deny any of these truths, only that Calvinism certainly implies them.

1.) "Calvinism gives us confidence in the Bible’s sufficiency. God saves His chosen people through the Word of Christ, in 1 Corinthians 1:18;

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."

"That means preachers have no need to use innovation in persuading anyone of the gospel.

"The salvation of souls depends on the gospel, faithfully preached and effectively applied by the Holy Spirit, not on the creativity or ingenuity of the preacher. This implication is wonderfully freeing to the preacher.

"If we preach the gospel and people do not believe our message, then we know it is not because there is any problem with the gospel.

"It is because God saves whom He chooses through the means He has appointed.

"Scripture says, “We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:23-24).
