Dive deep into Westminster Larger Catechism Question 68 in this Reformed theology devotional from Weaver Baptist Church! Building on effectual calling (Q67), we explore: Are the elect only effectually called? Discover how God's sovereign grace ensures salvation exclusively for the elect, while the outward gospel call reaches all. Unpack Scripture like John 6:44, Acts 13:48, Matthew 22:14, and Hebrews 6:4-6 to distinguish the irresistible inward call from common operations of the Spirit and willful unbelief.
Key Topics Covered:
- Elect vs. Non-Elect: Why only the chosen truly come to Christ
- Outward Call vs. Effectual Calling: Universal invitation meets divine election
- Judicial Hardening & Human Responsibility in Reformed Soteriology
- Assurance of Salvation for believers + Urgent gospel plea for all
- Soli Deo Gloria: Humility, praise, and the free offer of the gospel
