Episode notes
Salvation Is All Of God
- John MacArthur explains salvation is entirely the work of God because sinners are spiritually dead and incapable of true faith on their own.
- He emphasizes that God must grant understanding, repentance, and faith for anyone to come to Christ.
Threefold Pattern Of Ministry
- Paul’s ministry model includes evangelism to the elect, teaching for sanctification, and hope for glorification.
- John MacArthur frames those three aspects as salvation, sanctification, and glorification given by God.
Evangelize Widely, Teach Faithfully
- Preach the gospel broadly because we cannot identify the elect; evangelism is the means God uses to reach them.
- Teach and disciple believers afterward so they grow in godliness and hope.
