528. John Piper on Final Salvation (Can it be?)

#reformed #reformedtheology

“In Scripture, spiritual warfare takes place on earth, as Satan attempts to confuse or undermine the believer's confidence in Christ and His imputed righteousness as sufficient for salvation. In other words, it is a battle for hearts and minds, and it has to do with truth versus error, belief versus unbelief, faith in Christ versus faith in something or someone else.”

—Michael Horton, Where in the World is the Church?, 17.

“When John Calvin (1509-1564) wrote his treatise On the Necessity of Reforming the Church, he identified three key disputed issues between Rome and the Reformation: the doctrine of justification, worship, and church government.”
— J. V. Fesko “Introduction” in Vos’s Natural Theology, xvii.
