Guard the DepositThe importance of orthodox theology in the early church cannot be overstated. Paul repeatedly tells Timothy to guard the deposit of apostolic truth entrusted to him (1 Tim. 6:20; 2 Tim. 1:13–14) and pass it on to others (2 Tim. 2:1–2). As a pastor in particular, Timothy must be able to teach (1 Tim. 3:2) and to correct his opponents with gentleness (2 Tim. 2:25).

Christ’s resurrection was more than a mere resuscitation of life. Jesus raised several persons from the dead (e.g., a young man, Jairus’s daughter, Lazarus). But none of these “resurrections” marked the turning point in history. Easter Sunday marks the movement from humiliation to exaltation in the work of Christ.

© clearlyreformed.org. Reused with permission. You would think that one thing every Christian would agree on is the need for personal and corporate holiness. After all, the Bible tells us repeatedly, ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy’ (e.g. Leviticus 19:2). As God’s people, we must strive for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

The doctrine of the Son’s begottenness from the Father is called eternal generation. It is a classic and crucial Trinitarian doctrine, but it also a mystery beyond human description. Eternal generation is like human generation in that one essence begets the same essence, but it is unlike human generation in that it does not involve physical reproduction.

Note from Randy: I really like this segment from Kevin DeYoung's new book Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology. I’ve been reading it, and it is outstanding. The following article is adapted from the book, and is unusually steeped in doctrine—one of the most important doctrines, in fact. Kevin makes great clarifying points.

Sola Fide
No Christian denies that justification is by faith. That is an obvious biblical teaching.

Only Begotten Son of the FatherThe Nicene Creed confesses that the Lord Jesus Christ is “the only begotten Son of God.” The Greek word translated “only begotten” is monogenēs, a word used five times in the New Testament with reference to Jesus (John 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9). While most newer translations render the term “only” or “one of a kind,” the King James Version uses “only begotten” in those five Johannine verses.

God saved you to sanctify you. God is in the beautification business, washing away spots and smoothing out wrinkles. He will have a blameless bride. He promises to work in you; he also calls you to work out. “The beauty of holiness” is first of all the Lord’s (Psalm 29:2, KJV). But by his grace it can also be yours. It was several years ago, not long after my ordination, that I stumbled upon 1 Timothy 4:15 and found it to be a source of both great comfort and mild discouragement.
