Doctrine of God
2 sermons on this topic
Pastor Martin begins the section on 'The God Whom We Worship and Confess' by laying down the fundamental proposition that there is but one true and living God. He then develops the first of four major assertions about Him: that this God is the God of absolute perfection, perfect in Himself (self-sufficient and needing nothing), perfect in all His attributes (every attribute infinite and held in perfect balance with the others), and perfect in all His ways and works as testified by Moses, David, and the redeemed in heaven.
After a five-month digression, Pastor Martin returns to the Here We Stand series with an extensive review of the 44 previous sermons. He summarizes the Book we believe and obey (authority, inerrancy, sufficiency), the God we worship and confess (one, perfect, sovereign, good, triune), and the Salvation we receive and proclaim (the central figure Christ in the mystery of His person and the majesty of His offices). He closes by introducing Christ's manward succoring ministry from Hebrews 2:18 as the bridge to coming studies on Christ as prophet.
