So when I wonder about which job offer to take, I don't go through a divination process to discover the hidden message of God. Instead I examine how God has called me to live my life, what my motives are, what He has given me a heart for, where I am in my walk with Christ, and what God is saying to me through His word and His people.God\'s Will, 16
It appears how necessary it was that Christ the mediator should be both God & man.
For if He had not been man, He would not have been a fitting sacrifice; and if He had not been God, the sacrifice would not have been sufficient.Marrow of Theology
Theology is doctrine or teaching of living to God.
Faith is a resting of the heart on God, as on the author of life and eternal salvation. That is to say, that by him we may be freed from all evil, and obtain all good.https://www.monergism.com/faith-2
For the church is a company of men that are called (1 Cor. 1:24; 10:32), both Jews and Greeks, to the Jews, to the Greeks, and to the church of God. But because the end of calling is faith, and the work of faith is engrafting into Christ, and this union with Christ does bring with it communion with Christ. Hence it is defined, in the very same sense, a company of believers, a company of those who are in Christ, a company of those that have communion with Christ.
Adoption is the gracious sentence of God whereby He accepts the faithful for Christ's sake unto the dignity of sons.Marrow of Sacred Divinity, 135
Most of our texts from the ancient Near East pertain to divination. The king would never act in something as important as going into battle until he had the mind of the god as to whether he should or should not go to war. Many Christians follow this same path in seeking the divine mind in decisions.Finding God\'s Will, 11
When we talk of "finding God's will" we generally want divine guidance on specific choices, but it should be noted that this specific term is never used after the Holy Spirit came upon the church at Pentecost. The apostles, upon whom the church is founded, did not teach that we are to seek God's will in this way. Instead, the New Testament offers us a program of the Father's guidance that is based upon having a close relationship with Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.Finding God\'s Will, 10-11
Sometimes God's will is simply His acts of providence: Whatever comes of our circumstances is God's will.Finding God\'s Will, 10
Justification, of course, has no degrees and is completed at one moment and in only one act. Yet, in manifestation, consciousness, and effects it has many degrees.The Marrow of Theology, 161
The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.
