Critical Issues Commentary | God’s Will and Christian Liberty Part 3, Providence is Freedom @CICministry | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
In this episode we continue our discussion of God’s providential will and Christian liberty. Bob DeWaay defines Christian liberty as the freedom to make decisions about matters that are not revealed in Scriptures without fear of sinning against God. God’s providential will includes our decisions in matters of Christian liberty. When people seek to hear from God through subjective revelations rather than watching God’s providential will unfold through history it impinges upon Christian liberty. Believing that there is a special secret will of God for each person, they seek to hear from God outside of Scripture, and ultimately end up with no liberty at all. Rather than being fatalism, the doctrine of providence is freedom.
