New Testament Commentaries & Doctrinal
Studies
(Reformed Theology)
by Gordon Lyons
Expository
Notes
(NT Commentary Series)
The purpose of this site is to provide free of charge a series of
Expository Notes
or commentaries on most of the New
Testament. These notes aim to
provide the serious Bible student
with material which is not unduly
technical and which does not require
a knowledge of the original
languages. At the same time, these
commentaries are not generally
too basic or brief. Rather, it
has been the aim of the author
to provide suitable material for
more advanced personal or group
Bible study. As yet, the series
is incomplete. New titles will
be added as soon as they become
available, so please check this
site from time to time to read
or download the latest
commentaries.
Bible Truths
Explained
(Bible Doctrine Series)
In addition to the Expository
Notes, you will find a series of
studies entitled
Bible Truths
Explained. Although
providing a fairly comprehensive
study of each Bible doctrine,
the series is intended only as
an introduction to this subject.
Theology students are
encouraged to seek more detailed
information in their recommended
textbooks, although they may
find the studies here useful for
summarising each of the major
Bible doctrines.
In these studies, each theme is supported
throughout with extensive
quotations from the Scriptures.
The doctrinal studies have been
written from a Reformed
perspective, and therefore
expound the doctrines of grace.
The studies in this
series are
based to a greater or lesser
extent on the teaching of Dr.
Charles Hodge.
Words to Consider
Divine Predestination
by Don Fortner
"Them he also did predestinate." -- Romans 8:29
Do not be afraid of predestination. And do not
be ashamed of it. We are predestinarians, because we believe the Bible;
and predestination is a Bible doctrine, full of comfort and joy for
God's saints.
Predestination is God's infallible purpose of
grace regarding his elect whom he foreknew. It simply means that our
eternal destiny was settled by God, and infallibly secured by him before
the world began.
In sovereign predestination, God eternally and
immutably determined WHO he would save, HOW he would save them, WHEN he
would save them, and WHERE he would save them.
Then he sovereignly arranged everything
necessary, both to accomplish their salvation and to bring them to glory
at last, perfectly conformed to the image of his dear Son.
Predestination marked the house into which
grace would come, paved the road by which grace would travel to that
house, set the time when grace would enter, and guaranteed that grace
actually would come and enter in at the appointed time!
Nothing was left to chance, blind fate, luck,
or man's imaginary free will!
Predestination is no more and no less than God
Almighty having arranged from eternity everything necessary to bring his
elect children into heaven in the perfection of everlasting life.
