A.W. Pink on God's Sovereignty and Man's Responsibility

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 6:30 AM

"Side by side with the immutability and invincibility of God’s decrees, Scripture plainly teaches that man is a responsible creature and answerable for his actions.  And if our thoughts are formed from God’s Word the maintenance of the one will not lead to the denial of the other. That there is a real difficulty in defining where the one ends and the other begins, is freely granted. This is ever the case where there is a conjunction of the Divine and the human."

Charles Spurgeon on God's Sovereignty and Man's Responsibility

"Two truths cannot be contradictory to each other.  If, then, I find taught in one place that everything is fore-ordained, that is true; and if I find in another place that man is responsible for all his actions, that is true; and it is my folly that leads me to imagine that two truths can ever contradict each other.  These two truths, I do not believe, can ever be welded into one upon any human anvil, but one they shall be in eternity: they are two lines that are so nearly parallel, that the mind that shall pursue them farthest, will never discover that they converge, but they do converge, and they will meet somewhere in eternity, close to the throne of God, whence all truth doth spring."
Charles Spurgeon

(Sermon No. 207)
