Matthew Stuckey here from Verity Baptist Church Manila providing you a video on the topic of Calvinism and this irresistible grace heresy
And so in Hebrews 4 verse 16 the Bible reads
let us therefore come boldly on to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and
Find grace to help in time of need and so here in Hebrews 4
You see that it says you should come boldly on to the throne of grace
now if this is something that was automatic that you would just
Yield to God's grace in all situations and if he calls you you'll accept it
Then why is it that he proclaims? Hey, let us come boldly on to the throne of grace
He's basically saying please do this come boldly on to the throne of grace if it's irresistible
You'd never even have to mention it
It wouldn't be something where you'd have to try to encourage or motivate people to come to the throne of grace
It would just be automatic and so what Calvinism teaches is that God's grace is irresistible
That if he calls you and he chooses you you will
End up believing on Jesus Christ. You will end up getting saved
That's not consistent with what the Bible says because here in Hebrews 4 16
It just very clearly says let us therefore come boldly on to the throne of grace now
This is something that we do both as unbelievers and believers to believe on Jesus Christ
You must come boldly on to the throne of grace because we are saved by grace and as believers afterwards
Every single day we get right with God we come boldly on to the throne of grace
Okay, so salvation is one thing but even on a daily basis we come to God and ask for cleansing in our lives
We want to get close to God, but they have this idea that God's grace is just always irresistible
So God calls you before you're saved. You're gonna come boldly on to that throne of grace
And if you're after it's after you're saved hey, you know what you're gonna come boldly on to that throne of grace
But then why is it that he says let us therefore he's basically imploring them
Trying to convince them to come boldly on to the throne of grace that shows us. It's not automatic. Thank you and God bless
