Common Grace, 3.8

Last updated on: June 26, 2022 at 5:56 pm   By Coyle Neal

This post is part of a series walking through the third volume of Abraham Kuyper’s Common Grace “Government,” Kuyper’s chapter title tells us, “is the servant of God.” Just because common grace is for the state and particular grace is for the church doesn’t mean that these separate institutions don’t also benefit from each other’s kind of grace.

They also “touch upon one another” even when one is not the cause of the other. If there were only Christians it might be a challenge to see the purpose of government: “The essential character of government as such does not lie in the fact that canals are... Read more

Last updated on: May 23, 2022 at 4:02 pm   By Coyle Neal

This post is part of a series walking through the third volume of Abraham Kuyper’s Common Grace We saw in the last post that government exists because of sin. In this chapter, Kuyper gets even more provocative when he argues that “the institutional church exists because of sin.” (That’s even the title of the chapter, just to drive the point home…) Some theologians have argued that other theologians claim (because that’s how theology works, I guess) that the government only exists... Read more
