2 Tim. 1:12. I know WHOM I have believed… The WHAT of the Gospel, (the historical events concerning the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Christ); and even the WHY of the Gospel, (the precious doctrinal truths concerning sovereign election, effectual atonement, irresistible grace and perseverance of the saints); are all things men can learn […]
