Love, Faith, and Misordered Affections

All knowledge, power, and revelation are entrusted to Christ. Jesus is the sole Mediator. “No one knows the Father except the Son and those he chooses to reveal him to...” The knowledge of God is obtained solely through the Son, and outside of Christ, there is nothing but blindness. Furthermore,the text says, “to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.” This is a decisive statement of effectual calling. The initiative in salvation lies not in man’s will, but in Christ’s sovereign will.
