Biblical Salvation

The doctrine of reprobation—that is, the eternal, unconditional decree of God for the non-elect—is frequently misconstrued in both pastoral and theological literature. In Reprobation and God's Sovereignty, Peter Sammons reintroduces this oft-misunderstood doctrine, revealing its relationship to divine sovereignty. With Romans 9 as a guiding text, Sammons presents a thoroughly researched defense of reprobation as an essential part in a Reformed theology that magnifies God and encourages believers to trust in him.

No matter what creation God enacted, no matter the created circumstances, a creation with beings with libertarian free-will will eventually behave in self-centered ways and with all of these beings behaving the same way there would always be strife and aggressive, harmful behaviors, always. Thus, to have any creation that is not filled with strife, creation must have a redemptive element.

Jesus said people will know that we are Christians by our love. We need to remember that the church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. If I see you come into my church and I can tell you have been drinking or you are high, if you stink of sin, if you look beaten down from the vices that you have let rule your life then you need to know I will walk right up to you and hug you because you are right where you need to be. It took tremendous courage for you to walk through those doors. I know God must be doing a work in your life and I will do anything in my power to help ...

The defining reality of the eternal destiny of the lost, the unforgiven and unredeemed, is also the last words given in Scripture for that topic – the second death. The second death involves the separation of the unrepentant, recalcitrant sinner from God and all His blessings. In contrast, the defining reality of the saved, the forgiven and redeemed, is the eternal intimate presence and blessings of God Himself. Hell’s curse is the divine departure of God. Heaven’s blessing is the unprecedented presence of God with His people.
