Romans 8:30

If a contestant on a game show answers a question incorrectly, the worst that can happen is losing a chance to win a prize. But in our study of the Book of Romans, we come to a question so important that it effects the eternal destiny of every person. Having set forth the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith, the apostle Paul now asks, "What then shall we say to these things?" What do you say to God's Word about salvation through Jesus Christ? Dr. Barnhouse addresses this question of life and death on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:30

A baseball player on first base wants to score a run, but he may not make it. He could be caught stealing, or the next batter could make the third out, or he could be tagged out before reaching home plate. But God has determined that every one of His children will make it home. He has purposed that all those He foreknew, predestined, called, and justified will be glorified. Our glorification is an eternal unshakeable fact, sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Listen as Dr. Barnhouse speaks of our glorification on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:30

A weak link can break the chain that holds a ship to its anchor, and the ship would be swept out to sea. God has taken the likes of foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification and glorification and forged a golden chain that secures our eternal salvation. But many Christians weaken God's golden chain through an improper understanding of one or more of these links. Do you have a biblical understanding of the vital link of justification? Tune in to hear more on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:29

If you see a commercial encouraging you to join the Army, you are free to ignore it and turn the channel. But if you received a draft notice, you would be compelled to enlist.

But God's effectual call infuses the gospel with power and issues a divine summons that compels us to follow Jesus Christ. Dr. Barnhouse speaks of God's call to salvation on Dr. Barnhouse on the Bible.

Romans 8:29

The hands of the master artist Michelangelo formed a shapeless block of marble into David, perhaps the most famous sculpture in the world.

Romans 8:29

Many preachers and Bible teachers have defined God's foreknowledge as simply His ability to know all things in advance before they happen. They may say God looked down the corridor of time to see who would respond in faith to the gospel, and predestined them to salvation on that basis. But is this a biblically accurate view of the foreknowledge of God? What does the Word of God actually teach about this important subject? Find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:28

Perhaps you have heard someone express the popular common sentiment of our day by saying, "We are all God's children." But the Bible clearly states that only those who have come to God through faith in Jesus Christ can be called His children. The people of God are those who love God and who have been called by God and all this according to His divine purpose. It is on these grounds alone that all things work together for our eternal good. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to hear about God's love for His people.

Romans 8:28

Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. He could have fallen into despair and wondered how God could ever bring forth any good from these circumstances. But God eventually worked in Joseph's life in such a way that he could say, "You meant evil against me but God meant it for good in order to bring about, as it is, this day to save many people." He is also causing all things in your life to work together for your ultimate good. Be encouraged on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.
