129: No Way! There Are Things That God CAN’T Do??? But Isn’t He Irresistible??

In this mini-series about the Book of Life and salvation theology…we’re dealing with the 5 points of the “TULIP” of Calvinism. And we’re now looking at the “I”…Irresistible Grace…that God…by His sovereign mandate…irresistibly FORCES saving grace upon those whom He elected. But in response to this doctrine…Dr. Dan unpacks how the Scripture clearly teaches that there are many things that God CANNOT do…BECAUSE He’s God.  That is…His perfect and balanced character prevents Him from doing many things that He COULD do with His power. In other words, He constrains Himself because of His perfect nature. And because of this…He doesn’t coerce humans into believing in Him…and He doesn’t force us to love Him. And so, the All-powerful God actually pleads with us to freely receive His grace…freely love Him…and freely obey Him!!!Download notes here
