As To Conditions (8)

In this article, Herman Hoeksema addresses the theological implications of regeneration as outlined in the Canons of Dort, specifically focusing on the unconditional nature of God's grace in the process of regeneration. He argues against the notion that faith or regeneration can be considered conditions that man must fulfill for salvation, asserting that regeneration is solely the work of God, akin to creation or resurrection, and that it occurs without any contribution from man. Hoeksema emphasizes that once God regenerates a person, they are infallibly and effectually transformed, leading to faith and repentance as inevitable outcomes of God's sovereign grace.
