Eh, I have nothing to say that you guys haven't heard already. Doctrines of grace:
1. Election (God's choice of a covenant people to be saved according to His sovereign will, purpose, and foreknowledge)
2. Predestination (God's predetermined glory for His chosen Elect people)
3. Atonement (Christ's work of satisfying the demands of the law for all men)
4. Propitiation (Christ's satisfying God's wrath against the sins of all men)
5. Prevenient Grace (the drawing of the lost through the Holy Spirit)
6. Conversion (faith, repentance & water baptism)
7. Justification (imputed righteousness)
8. Regeneration (being born again of the Spirit)
9. Adoption (membership in God's family)
10. Sanctification (the act of taking part in the divine nature and the process whereby we are conformed into the image and likeness of Christ)
11. Death (the intermediate state wherein the soul of the saint of God is present with the Lord in Heaven awaiting resurrection & glorification)
12. Resurrection & Glorification (receiving a resurrected and transformed body in glorified form that is fashioned perfectly into the image of Christ)
And beyond these doctrines a life of living according to the "Law of Love" as opposed to the Law of God (Ten Commandments) or the Law of Moses (over three hundred laws given to Israel). The Law of Love (Law of Christ) demands only two things:
1.) Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
2.) Demonstrate your love for God by loving others as yourself.
