Our Commitments
ADOPTED BY GRACE exists for one reason: to demonstrate that the doctrine of divine election is not a medieval curiosity or a Calvinist obsession. It is written into the very fabric of Scripture. It is what the text says when you read it carefully, word by word, in the original languages. And it matters.
1
Go to the Original Languages
We do not guess at what the Greek and Hebrew mean. We examine the text word by word—parsing, tense, voice, and mood. Translation matters. Precision matters. Doctrine must rest on the bedrock of Scripture, not on English paraphrases or theological assumptions.
2
Deploy Arguments Nobody Else Is Making
Election is not just biblical—it is logical. We build arguments from the structure of sentences, from the grammar of doxology, from the internal contradictions of competing views, from necessary inferences that follow from the text itself.
3
Steel-Man Every Objection
We do not defeat strawmen. We address the strongest form of each objection—the version that would be hardest to answer. And then we show why the text of Scripture ultimately vindicates divine election.
4
Follow the Text Wherever It Leads
We do not begin with a theological system and then make the Bible fit. We begin with the Bible and follow it. If it teaches election, we say so. If it teaches free will, we would say so. But it teaches election.
5
Give God All the Glory
The doctrine of election exists to exalt God's sovereignty, grace, and power. It exists to humble human pride and to show that salvation is entirely a work of God. Soli Deo Gloria—glory to God alone.
