How do we know that the doctrines of grace are true?
Answered in 1 source
The doctrines of grace are affirmed through Scripture, highlighting God's sovereignty, election, and the efficacy of Christ's atonement for His chosen people.
The doctrines of grace are firmly rooted in biblical texts that affirm God's sovereignty in salvation. For instance, Ephesians 1:4-5 clearly teaches that God has chosen certain individuals before the foundation of the world. Romans 8:28-30 outlines the golden chain of redemption that assures believers that those predestined by God will ultimately be called, justified, and glorified. Furthermore, Christ's atoning work, which is sufficient for the chosen, is foundational in understanding the extent of His grace. Therefore, the historic Reformed perspective asserts that it is not through human choice, but God's sovereign will that salvation is accomplished, as accurately depicted in these Scriptures.
