Answer to a Kuyper college essay question

“Describe your personal beliefs, experiences, and influences that have contributed to your spiritual growth.”

"I believe in the triune God manifested in the three persons of Father (as our Creator), Son (as our Redeemer), and Holy Spirit (as our sanctifier). I believe that Christ died on the cross to save His elect people; that there are some people that are made as vessels for destruction; that man is responsible for his rejection of the grace of salvation; and that God does not tempt man but each man is dragged away and enticed by his own evil desires. I believe that the purpose of every Christian's life is to give glory to God in whatever we do, that God has dominion over every area of life, and that thinking holistically as a Christian is vital and logical. I know that when Christ returns He shall gather to Himself all the saints, both living and dead, to be with Himself in eternity. In the area of eschatology I am still doing research but I am leaning in a postmillennialist direction. I believe that scripture is the inspired Word of God and should be accepted as a whole. I do not believe that the old covenant as a whole became invalid when Christ established the new covenant, rather that the new and old covenant work together in harmony."
