Episode notes
Salvation Is God's Work Alone
- Salvation is entirely God's work, not human effort or merit.
- Frazer Blaxland emphasizes that every spiritual good (prayer, grace, perseverance) comes because God first quickens and upholds the soul.
Grace Enables Right Action While Sin Is Our Own
- When believers act rightly it's by God's enabling, and when they sin it's their own fault.
- Blaxland contrasts personal culpability for sin with divine causation for every act of holiness and endurance.
Spiritual Growth Is Gift Not Achievement
- Spiritual growth and knowledge are gifts from God, not self-produced.
- Blaxland states the Holy Spirit sanctifies and the great instructor teaches, so our jewels of righteousness are fashioned by divine art.
