CM-031 - WCF 5.6: Given Over: God's Righteous Judgment
Westminster Confession of Faith 5.6
As for those wicked and ungodly men whom God, as a righteous judge, for former sins doth blind and harden; from them He not only withholdeth His grace, whereby they might have been enlightened in their understandings, and wrought upon in their hearts; but sometimes also withdraweth the gifts which they had, and exposeth them to such objects as their corruption makes occasion of sin; and withal, gives them over to their own lusts, the temptations of the world, and the power of Satan: whereby it comes to pass that they harden themselves, even under those means which God useth for the softening of others.
In this episode of Confessional Moments, Pastor Tim explores Westminster Confession of Faith 5.6, a sober and carefully worded doctrine concerning God’s righteous judgment on persistently wicked sinners.
This paragraph addresses how God, acting as a just judge, may punish sin by withdrawing restraining grace and giving sinners over to their own corruption, while never being the author of sin and never removing human responsibility. The episode distinguishes judicial punishment from fatherly chastisement, responds to common objections, and grounds the doctrine firmly in Scripture.
