PROVIDE Part Two - Responsible (able-to-respond)

A review of Leighton Flower's Provisionism and where Kevin and I agree and disagree with Leighton. Provisionism is the traditional and biblical view in contrast to Calvinism which stems from Augustine who borrowed deterministic ideas from his former gnosticism and created a "Christian" form of determinism.

P = People sin: Which separated all from fellowship with God. Therefore, a divine provision became necessary.

R = Responsible: Everyone is able-to-respond to God’s appeals for reconciliation. Because a divine provision will be heard and understood.

O = Open door: For anyone to enter by faith. Whosoever will may come to His open arms. The divine provision is offered impartially to all.

V = Vicarious atonement: The divine provision is of sufficient value for the sins of the whole world and provides a way for anyone to be saved by Christ’s blood.

I = Illuminating grace: The divine provision is offered sufficiently for all and provides clearly revealed truth so that all can know and respond in faith.

D = Destroyed: For unbelief and resisting the Holy Spirit’s drawing to God’s mercy will be the divine provision of justice.

E = Eternal security: The divine provision is everlasting for all true believers.
