The Hermeneutical Watershed (Part 2)
from Arminianism on SermonAudio Hosted by J.R. Dickens
This lesson explores the necessity of a Christ-centered hermeneutic by examining the covenantal structure of Scripture, specifically the distinction between the covenant of works and the covenant of grace. Drawing from the Westminster Confession of Faith, it argues that these two covenants are distinct and cannot be mixed, with the covenant of works rendering humanity incapable of salvation after the fall, while the covenant of grace offers salvation solely through the finished work of Christ. The teaching emphasizes the monergistic nature of salvation, where God accomplishes all aspects of redemption, thereby excluding any human contribution to one's own justification or perseverance. It warns against theological errors such as Pelagianism, Arminianism, and Biblicism, which arise from confusing these categories or treating Scripture as a disjointed collection of verses rather than a unified whole. The ultimate goal is to direct believers to rest in the sufficiency of Christ's work, ensuring that all glory is given to God alone.
