#276 - Arminianism and the Gospel of Grace


Listen Later

In this episode of GraceNotes from no. 87 "Arminianism and the Gospel of Grace," we dive into the theology of Arminianism and its views on the gospel of grace. Named after Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius, Arminianism challenges the strong determinism of Calvinism, particularly in its views on salvation, free will, and God’s grace. We’ll explore the historical roots of Arminianism, from Arminius’ objections to John Calvin's doctrines to the formalization of Arminian theology in the early 17th century.


Through this study, we’ll unpack key points of disagreement between Arminianism and Calvinism, such as the nature of election, the concept of prevenient grace, and the question of whether salvation can be lost. While Arminianism emphasizes human free will and the ability to choose salvation, it also presents challenges to the gospel of grace, particularly when it comes to assurance of salvation and the idea of works in maintaining salvation. How do Arminians reconcile their belief that salvation can be lost with the Bible’s teaching on God’s unconditional grace?


We’ll also look at how Arminianism compares to biblical teachings on eternal security, examining the struggles many believers face with assurance of salvation when their security is tied to human effort rather than God’s grace. This episode seeks to bring clarity to these complex theological systems and highlight the importance of understanding the full gospel of grace.


Whether you’re familiar with the terms TULIP, prevenient grace, or the history of Arminianism, this episode will equip you to better understand both Arminian and Calvinist views and how they relate to the truth of the gospel. Join us as we unpack the core of the gospel message—salvation by grace alone, through faith alone—and why it’s essential for believers to rest in the assurance of eternal security.
