"The Bible's Supreme Dialectic"
| "The Bible's Supreme Dialectic"Gen. 17:1-14 Jan 12, 1997 http://sermons.faithtacoma.org/genesis/genesis32.htm I intend to spend three or four Lord's Day mornings on the text before us this morning. It is some measure of the importance of this passage, the role it plays in setting the stage for what comes after, that I simply could not find a way to treat it adequately in one morning's sermon. There are several matters of immense importance for an understanding of the Bible and our faith as Christians that are either comprehensively introduced for the first time in these verses or are given a definitive statement. As one commentator put it: "This chapter is a watershed in the Abraham story. The promises to him have been unfolded bit by bit, gradually building up and becoming more detailed and precise, until here they are repeated and filled out in a glorious crescendo in a long and elaborate divine speech. From this point in Genesis, divine speeches become rarer and little new content is added to the promises, but the fulfillment of these promises becomes more visible." [Wenham, vol. 2, 16] Now, we begin our consideration of this passage by taking note of the tremendous example of the dialectic between divine grace and human responsibility that we have before us in these verses. I have called this, in the sermon title, "the Bible's supreme dialectic" because not only is it central to the Bible's whole message but because it is here that Christians most often go wrong, it is around this dialectic that the most bitter and longstanding of doctrinal disputes within Christendom continue to swirl, and it is in the proper grasp of this dialectic, I believe, that real Christian maturity rests. |
