Mike makes the point well..
”What is the good news? The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, the good news of God is that even though we were dead in trespasses and sins, incapable of even choosing to believe God, repent, and be saved, He had mercy on us and provided a way for us through Christ our propitiation. To God be the glory!”
This truth fits nicely with my current studies in the Westminster Larger Catechism and the Canons of Dort. You might want to check out some of my recent postings.
