Impossible

 
It is impossible to preach...

1. That a man is both totally and partially depraved,

2. That election is both unconditional and conditional,

3. That regenerating grace is both irresistible and resistible,

4. That redemption is both limited and unlimited,

5. That perseverance is both certain and uncertain.

Nor can there be a modification of one by the other; it is impossible to blend the two. History records such efforts in the past; but despite the efforts, sovereign grace and free-willism will not mix, nor can they walk together in peace, nor can those holding either system force the other to their view.

-Gospel report by preacher Rolfe Barnard (1904 – 1969 A.D.)


So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy” (Romans 9:16).


Jesus said, “No man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father” (John 6:65).


All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).


For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13).


God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth” (II Thessalonians 2:13).


Jesus said, “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).


Again He said in prayer to His Heavenly Father, “I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do ... those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition” (John 17:3, 12).
