WHAT ARE THE TWO PERSPECTIVES
The Importance of Identifying the Proper Perspective
The Importance of Identifying the Proper Perspective
Scripture is perceived either from God’s perspective or man’s perspective.
Confusing the perspectives leads to improper interpretations and applications of Scripture and its themes.
Man’s perception of salvation
Limited to time and space / what we can perceive with our senses / man appears to be the initiator of salvation
The average person believes man completes the salvation process when he believes. Jesus did his part and now man must do his part. When man does his part “it is finished!”
Not true because God’s perspective is the reality of what he has done in Christ for his elect ones, chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. Salvation has been attained already by and through Christ
Could possible lead to giving glory to man through the myth of man’s free will

Free-will: The idea that man initiates the Salvation process through his innate ability to choose to come to God for deliverance from sin and its consequences . Man is capable of helping God save himself by doing his part.
Man is unable to choose God once born again, but God chooses through man. “You can’t choose God - God chooses through you.”

God the Father / Reveals the Mystery of His Will
Predestined those he Chose unto the Adoption of Children / holy and without blame before him
According to the Good Pleasure of his will
By Jesus Christ / all things in heaven and earth and persons will be given life - restored
Salvation is a Completed Work to be Received by Faith upon Hearing the Gospel+
The Anatomy of Salvation
The Anatomy of Salvation
Salvation is to be biblically perceived from either God’s perspective or from man’s perspective under the umbrella of God as the initiator of Salvation.
Because God the Father is the author and finisher of our faith he knows how saving faith is supposed to look.
God the Father makes an in-discriminant plea to all through those whom he has already saved to repent and believe the Gospel.
Unfortunately, man being spiritually dead - united with Adam is unwilling/unable to initiate or savingly respond to the universal Gospel call.
