God's Will (references)



Last Post I showed a diagram of God's Will and how everything comes in pairs. This post, I am showing my references, both to Bible verses and previous posts discussing the topics.

God's two types of will
Declarative [Genesis 1]
Prescriptive [Exodus 20]

Hidden [Deuteronomy 29:29a]
Revealed [Deuteronomy 29:29b]

Two kinds of revelation
General [Jeremiah 33:25]
Specific (Scripture Alone) [1 Tim. 3:16, Hebrews 1:1-2]

Two kinds of general revelation
Knowledge of God and some about Him [Psalm 19:1-4]

Law [1 Tim. 1:8]
Gospel [John 3:16]

Love God [Mark 12:30]
Love your neighbor [Mark 12:31]

Negative (Informed by general revelation)
Positive (Informs outcomes of subjective justification)

Two Negative Uses of the Law (God's Alien Work)
Curb (Informed by Natural Law) (1st use of the law) [Romans 1:28-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10]

Grace (Getting what we don’t deserve) (God's Proper Work)  [2 Corinthians 12:8-9]

Objective (through universal atonement from God’s grace and Jesus earned righteousness) [Colossians 1:21-22, Hebrews 10:10]
Subjective (applied individually, through the Holy Spirit) [Philippians 1:29, Titus 3:5-7]

Two Outcomes of Justification
Righteousness [Romans 3:21-22; 10:3]
Sanctification [2 Timothy 2:21]

Vertical, Imputed [Romans 3:10-11, 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Corinthians 1:30]
Horizontal, Incipient (Informed by the 3rd use of the law) [Galatians 5:22-24]

Two kinds of Sanctification
Wide sense, being set apart as holy [Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 10:10,14; Hebrews 13:12]

Word [Romans 10:17]
Sacraments [convention]
