Summary:

The phrase "Son of God" is clearly a title and is rooted in Psalm 2:7 and Psalm 2:12. It denotes the notion of incarnation of Jesus and epitomizes God for it is written that Jesus said "Whoever has seen me has seen God"

Scripture:

Psalm 2

7 “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. -njkv

7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. -kjv

7 “I will announce the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have fathered You. -nasb

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father. -niv

Psalm 2

12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. -nkjv

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. -kjv

12 Kiss the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way, For His wrath may be kindled quickly. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! -nasb

12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. -niv

7 marks of a right heart before God part 6 by JC Ryle

 A right heart is a heart that FEELS CONFLICT within it (Gal. 5:17). It finds within itself two opposing principles contending for the mastery—the flesh lusting against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. It knows by experience what Paul means when he says, “I see a law in my members warring against the law of my mind” (Rom. 7:23). The wrong heart knows nothing of this strife. The strong man keeps the wrong heart as their palace, and their goods are at peace (Luke 11:21). But when the rightful King takes possession of the heart, a struggle begins which never ends until death. The right heart may be known by its warfare, quite as much as by its peace.

Question:

Tricia Mcmillan:

Our first question is from Instagram, we are on instagram, we are openline radio is our handle on instagram but Steve wants to know if the Messiah died for everyone or only for the elect?

Answer from Dr Michael Rydelnik: @33mins

Summary:

Dr Michael Rydelnik is of the opinion that the Messiah's death is sufficient for the whole world if the whole world comes to faith but is efficient only for the elect.

Michael Rydelnik says that 2 Peter 2:1 teaches that Jesus indeed died for the whole world when the verse says that Jesus also died for the false teachers but only if they would have believed. False teachers in the bible are always those who have never believed.

Calvinist believes in the theology of limited atonement where the Messiah only died for the elect.

Scripture:

John 3

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -nkjv

2 Peter

1But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. -nkjv

Romans 5

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -nkjv

Ephesians 5 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, -nkjv

1 John 2

2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. -nkjv
