The providence of God is a significant and important area of theology, which is why we're spending this week considering it and why the writers of the Westminster Confession of Faith needed seven sections just to summarize it.

So far we have considered the question of where God is when tragedy strikes, God's use of means in providence, how the providence of God relates to the origin of evil, and today Dr. Sproul will consider God's providence, temptation, and our own sin. Well, here he is in section 5 of chapter 5.

You're listening to Renewing Your Mind, and this is the Thursday edition as R.C. Sproul is teaching from the Westminster Confession of Faith. The way the Westminster Confession is structured makes it a helpful way to read through a summary of biblical Christianity.

So if you've never heard of this confession before, or if you have but you've never read it, I would encourage you to take the time to work through it. And to make that task even easier, Dr. Sproul can be your guide when you request Truths We Confess, which is his commentary on the confession.

When you support the daily outreach of Renewing Your Mind with a gift of any amount, we'll send you the hardcover edition of Truths We Confess as our way of saying thank you. So call us at 800-435-4343 or give your gift at renewingyourmind.org and we'll put a copy in the mail. This substantial resource could make for a great Christmas gift for a pastor or Christian leader in your life.

The good news is that it is possible for unjust people, like you and me, to stand before a holy and just God, thanks to the redemption that can be found in Christ alone. And it's that good news, and specifically the righteousness that Christians receive so they can stand before a just God, that R.C. Sproul will explore today on Renewing Your Mind.

For all the resources that Christians have in the West, books, Bibles, study Bibles, surveys show that biblical literacy is on the decline. It's why we revisit these key truths of the Christian faith again and again, like justification and imputation. So keep listening as Dr. Sproul will preach with his trademark passion from Romans chapter 3.

It is a marvel and should often be on our lips. Hopefully this week's messages on Renewing Your Mind will help you in future conversations about the gospel and what you believe as a Christian, because we should not be ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

Getting the gospel right is essential. R.C. Sproul said it many times, when the gospel is at stake, everything is at stake. And this is why the Reformation of the 16th century was so important, as it marked light shining into the darkness, a rediscovery of the gospel. Welcome to Reformation Week on Renewing Your Mind. I'm your host, Nathan W. Bingham.
