Why do we rejoice in our Reformed doctrine also known as
Calvinism?
According to Theologian B. B. Warfield, Calvinism focuses on God: “It begins, it centers, and it ends with the vision of God in His glory: and
it sets itself before all things to render to God His rights in every sphere
of life activity.”
“It is the vision of God in His majesty, in a word, that lies at the
foundation of Calvinistic thinking,”: states Theologian B. B. Warfield.
Westminster Shorter Catechism states it this way: “Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever”.
It is the hope of the author to this article that this article may glorify God
and that we may fully realize God's TOTAL PERFECT TRIUMPH:
TOTAL PERFECT TRIUMPH:
1. God has made a perfect plan: TOTAL in scope and PERFECTLY
demonstrating all the components of His will, including God’s
lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, all designed for God’s glory and
TRIUMPH.
2. God perfectly executes his plan: TOTALLY accomplishing every detail,
PERFECTLY accomplishing every detail, and TRIUMPHANTLY accomplishing every
detail.
3. God’s people “shout for joy”! Psalm 32:11:
"Be glad in the LORD and rejoice you righteous ones, And shout for joy all
you who are upright in heart.” Psalm 32:11.
