Can The Arminian God Save?
TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 2010

It has often been debated whether Arminian (free-will) faith can save. The better question is: Can the Arminian god save? Our usual answer has been, “No, for even the Arminian says that his god, “can’t save unless…” and the unless is always followed by something a sinner must do in order to “enable” this god to save him.

But, it has occurred to me that the Arminian god is perfectly able to save the Arminian man. By Arminian man, I do not mean the man who believes Arminian theology. Rather, I mean that the god described by Arminian theology is perfectly capable of saving a man as described by Arminian theology. Arminian theology describes man as capable of something good, whether meritorious works or faith. Such a man does not need much of a god. He needs help, but not salvation. The Arminian man has some strength, but not quite enough, so his god supplements what the man lacks, and all is well.

But the sovereign grace man – that is, a man as described by sovereign grace theology – is a different sort of man and needs a different sort of God. This man is without strength (Romans 5.6), is not righteous, does not understand, does no good, and does not seek God, (Romans 3.10-12) He does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, neither can he know them for such things are spiritually understood (1 Corinthians 1:14) , and he is spiritually dead (Ephesians 2.1). Such a man needs a God quite different from the god of the Arminian. He needs a God whose power is not bound by the weakness of man, whose purpose is not frustrated by the stubbornness of the rebellious, and whose righteousness is not overthrown by the wickedness of the sinner. In short, the sovereign grace man needs the sovereign grace God.

And in this, a very important principle is revealed. The sort of god a man worships and calls on will be determined, in large part, by the sort of man he perceives himself to be. The Arminian man seeks a god who needs him; a sovereign grace man seeks a God he desperately needs!
