The Reformation and the Will of Man (1 Peter 1:3)
10/09/17 • 43 min
A look at what Luther called “the hinge upon which the whole [Reformation] turns,” the subject of “free will.” This message provides an exposition of 1 Peter 1:3 and a look at what Scripture says regarding the nature of man’s will. Is it free? Is salvation a matter of man’s own independent choosing, or is salvation the work of God?
If you would like further reading on that subject we would recommend these:
- The Bondage of the Will by Martin Luther
- The Freedom of the Will by Jonathan Edwards
- The Plan of Salvation by B.B. Warfield
- Institutes of the Christian Religion, John Calvin, Book 2, Chapter 2
