Did God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery? God having out of His mere good pleasure, from all eternity elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant of grace, to deliver them out of the estate sin and misery, and to bring them into an estate of salvation by a Redeemer. ~The Baptist Catechism Question 23
Dive deep into the foundational truths of the Christian faith with us as we unpack questions 8 and 9 of the Baptist Catechism. In this episode, we explore the crucial affirmation that there is but one only, the living and true God, dismantling any notion of multiple deities. We then delve into the glorious mystery of the Godhead, examining the biblical revelation that within this one God exists three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. From a Reformed Baptist perspective, we consider the scriptural basis for understanding God's singular essence and triune existence. We'll discuss the vital importance of these doctrines for our worship, our understanding of salvation, and our daily walk with the Lord. Join us as we unpack key concepts like monotheism, the Trinity, the distinct persons of the Godhead, their shared essence, and their equal power and glory. Whether you're a seasoned theologian or simply seeking a deeper understanding of core Christian beliefs, this episode will provide a clear and insightful exploration of these essential truths from the Baptist Catechism.

Q. What is the misery of that estate whereinto man fell?A. All mankind by their fall lost communion with God are under his wrath and curse, and so made liable to all miseries in this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell for ever. ~Baptist Catechism Question 22
Q. Wherein consists the sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell?A. The sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell, consists in the guilt of Adam's first sin, the want of original righteousness, and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin; together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it (Rom. 5:12, to the end; Eph. 2:1, 2, 3; James 1:14, 15; Mt. 15:19).
In this final episode of our series on Question 7 of the Baptist Catechism, we explore the culminating attributes of God: His power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.

We consider God's goodness, including His mercy. Finally, we examine God's truthfulness.

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 16:5-11 As Paul writes about his plans to visit his friends in Corinth, he drops a phrase into his sentence which reveals something of his perspective of life. The phrase is "if the Lord permits." "For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits" (1 Cor 16:7). The apostle realizes that everything rests on the will of God. This is the clear, repeated truth revealed to us in the Bible. "The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD" (Prov 16:1). "The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps" (Prov 16:9). "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but the counsel of the LORD, it will stand" (Prov 19:21). At every moment of every day, God is actively permitting plans to go forward, or preventing plans from coming to pass. In this way God governs everything that takes place in His universe … in order to accomplish His own purposes. Question #15 in the Baptist Catechism of 1689 is "What is the providence of God?" The answer given is "The providence of God is His most holy, wise, powerful activity by which He preserves and governs every creature and every action." We must learn to defer completely and humbly to the will of God with the realization that He sovereignly and totally governs everything in His universe. With the sovereignty of God washing over our souls and with the brevity of life ringing in our ears, we are more prone to live life humbly, diligently, and skewed more toward heavenly, eternal realities rather than earthly, temporal vapors.
