The Essence of Reformed Theology
Posted by John Samson on November 12, 2011 03:41 AM
"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). (Council of Orange: Canon 6)
We are a community of confessing believers who love the gospel of Jesus Christ, affirm the Biblical and Christ-exalting truths of the Reformation such as the five solas, the doctrines of grace, monergistic regeneration, and the redemptive historical approach to interpreting the Scriptures.

That was an interesting comment by John Piper. “Conditional justification… the condition for justification is faith." Does he take that from Romans 5—“being justified by faith�
That leads me to a question. Habakkuk wrote, “the just SHALL LIVE by faithâ€. Men are given life in regeneration and the gift of faith. Men believe and they are justified by faith. What kind of life is given to a justified man and is conditioned by faith? What kind of life was given in regeneration?
