If we deny- Charles Pennington.
\nIf we deny that man is dead in sin; that he is nothing, has nothing and can do nothing to merit salvation then we make \u2018man true and God a liar\u2019!<\/p>\n
If we deny God\u2019s eternal and unconditional election of a people unto salvation; make salvation to be by man\u2019s choice and will, instead of God\u2019s choice, will and purpose; then we exalt man\u2019s will above God\u2019s, dethrone the Almighty and set man up in His place!<\/p>\n
If we deny the particular and effectual redemption of the elect by the blood of Christ; then we have no gospel to preach, only an atonement that does not atone, a redemption that does not redeem, and a saviour that cannot save; we make a mockery of the suffering and death of the Son of God and count the blood of the covenant an unholy (common) thing!<\/p>\n
If we deny the invincible and essential work of God the Holy Spirit; in regeneration and the new birth then we must deny that \u2018that which is born of the flesh is flesh,\u2018 and say, \u2018that which is born of the flesh is spirit\u2019! Then we make Him to be less than man and emphatically deny that salvation is of the Lord, Who only can give life to the dead!<\/p>\n
If we deny the preservation and perseverance of the saints; then we openly declare that there is a power greater than God, one who can frustrate His purpose and pluck the sheep out of the Father\u2019s hand, contrary to the words of the Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n
If we deny Him, He also will deny us. (2 Tim. 2:12).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
