Understanding Christianity

One of the key tenets of Reformed theology is the Covenant of Works. If Adam would have obeyed God's command in the Garden he would have earned life for both himself and his posterity. Yet he failed miserably and God instituted the Covenant of Grace. In the effectual call, the Holy Spirit makes sinners both willing and able to come to faith in Christ. Dr. Sean Cole has noticed that within Provisionism theology, there is not much interaction with the Covenant of Works. He also notes that a key distinction is that they assume that when God issues a command it must be common sense that we are able to fulfill it. Why would God issue commands that He knows we cannot fulfill? Listen as Dr. Cole discusses the differences between Reformed theology and Provisionism on these issues. www.seancole.net
