Transformation via the renewing of the mind entails the humble understanding that we are dependent on other believers to grow in Christ.

Christians should have lives characterized by humility as they understand themselves in light of who they are in relation to God and His people.

Our Reformation ancestors effected biblical authority & availability of which we should avail ourselves for our growth in godliness.

Through the proclamation of the Gospel, faith based righteousness is readily available to all ... apart from human merit or good works of the Law.

God is not unjust in unconditional election because it’s His prerogative to freely show mercy to whomever He wills.

Jewish unbelief does not mean God’s plan of salvation has failed, since God’s unconditional election is not based on works.
