I Am Pure From The Blood Of All Men
Some of the points covered in this sermon:
Many believe the Apostle Paul was “pure from the blood of all men” because he offered the gospel (Free-Offer) to everyone he met and exhorted them to believe on Christ (Duty-Faith). This view is propagated by freewill religionists belonging to the Arminian and Moderate-Calvinist persuasions. This study:
(1) Explains the meaning of Duty-Faith and the Free-Offer
(2) Provides an expositional overview of the text
(3) Points out the term (and idea) of an ‘offer’ does not appear in the text, although seven other words do appear—show (announce), teach, testify, preach, declare, feed, show (reason/argue)
(4) Explains how Paul’s declaration of “all the counsel of God” is a reference to the Framework of Sovereign Grace
(5) Explains how Paul’s twofold message of God’s plan for the ages fits into the Framework of Sovereign Grace—he testified to the Jews and the Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ
(6) Concludes the Apostle Paul was “pure from the blood of all men” because he declared “all the counsel of God”, warning the unregenerate sinners that they were duty-bound under the authority of the Covenant of Works to “repent toward God”, and explaining to regenerate sinners that they were duty-bound under the authority of the Covenant of Grace to “believe toward our Lord Jesus Christ”—the reprehensible doctrines of Duty-Faith and the Free-Offer do not appear in the text
